Sanaa's Family (The Khan Family):

* Saba Khan (Aiza's Mother):

   * Characteristics: Sweet and caring, Saba Khan is a dedicated housewife whose world revolves around her family. She creates a warm, loving home environment and is known for her hospitality. She has a very close relationship with sana, understanding her playful nature while also nurturing her independence. Saba is also Naila Begum's (Sidharth's mother) sister, which adds a layer of familiarity and deep family ties to the arranged marriage. She secretly hopes for a love match for Sana, but fully supports the family's decision, especially knowing Sidharth's good character.

* Imran Khan (Sana's Father):

   * Characteristics: Calm, understanding, and incredibly supportive. Imran Khan is a university professor, known for his wisdom and progressive views. He adores Sana and trusts her judgment implicitly. While he respects traditions, he places a greater emphasis on individual choice and happiness. He's the one who often mediates gently, bringing a sense of balance and reassurance. He has a subtle, dry wit that can catch people by surprise, much like Sana's naughtiness.

Sidharth's Family (The Malik Family):

* Naila Begum (Sidharth's Mother):

   * Characteristics: Elegant and poised, Naila Begum is the backbone of the Malik household. She carries herself with grace and quiet authority, mirroring Sidharth's disciplined nature but with an underlying warmth. She is very traditional, believes strongly in family honor and legacy, and has high expectations for her children. While she might seem intimidating to outsiders, her love for Sidharth is profound, expressed through meticulous care and a desire for his ultimate happiness and stability, even if it means strict guidance. Being Saba Khan's sister, she has a deep affection for Sana, having seen her grow up, and secretly loves Sana the most in the house, believing her playful spirit is exactly what Sidharth needs to soften him.

* Usman Malik (Sidharth's Father):

   * Characteristics: A man of immense integrity and presence. Usman Malik is a retired judge, known for his fairness and strict adherence to principles. He is a firm but just patriarch, respected by everyone. He supports Naila Begum's decisions regarding family matters but ensures that fundamental values are upheld. He understands Sidharth's personality well and appreciates his son's discipline. He believes in 'actions speak louder than words' and often communicates through subtle gestures and approving nods.

  Sidharth's Side (Malik Family & Associates):

* Zoya (Sidharth's younger sister): She's sweet, a little pampered, and absolutely adores Sidharth. She'll be instrumental in helping Sana navigate the "Malik rules" and might even be Sana's first confidante in the new house.

* Ayan (Sidharth's close friend/business partner): More relaxed than Sidharth, he often tries to get Sidharth to loosen up. He's observant and will notice the changes in Sidharth because of Sana. Could provide a humorous, outsider perspective.

* Fahad (Sidharth's cousin, Naila Begum's nephew from her brother's side): A bit of a joker, who might tease Sidharth about his newfound 'softness' and also find Sana's antics amusing.

Sana's Side (Khan Family & Friends):

* Zara (Sana's best friend/cousin): Already introduced, she's Sana's ride-or-die, her partner in crime for all mischievous plans. She'll be Sana's main sounding board for her feelings about Sidharth.

* Asim (Sana's younger brother): Energetic and playful, he'll quickly warm up to Sidharth, perhaps even unknowingly helping to bridge the gap between his sister's world and his future brother-in-law's.

* Hira (Sana's culinary school mentor/teacher): A wise and encouraging figure who believes in Sana's talent and offers practical advice, perhaps even regarding the challenges of balancing personal life with passion.
