what Batki has done to keep them all steady. - Batki - The eldest daughter, Batki is fiercely protective of
her family. When her education is stopped to compensate for expenses
she does not fret, but instead carries on and helps her mother. Her
father has always disliked the fact that she was not born a son, which
hurts her. She goes to Mumbai to help her family and does not hesistate
in making sacrifices for them. - Chutki - Chutki's life is full of everything she could ever
want. Her mother and sister love her to the core and do everything to
protect her. She is intelligent and sharp minded but is totally unaware
of the sacrifices Batki is doing for her. - Shivshankar Sahay - A former economics teacher, Shivshanker
is unable to cope with an unfair dismissal at the college and his
bitterness grows and grows. As the family sink into poverty, he does
nothing to help. He buys lottery tickets thinking he will win and more
importantly bring back his days of glory. He resents the fact that
Batki was not born a son and vents out his frustrations on his loved
ones. His disappointment in Batki continues when she goes to Mumbai,
thinking she will achieve nothing. - Vivaan - Having lived all his life in the big city, Vivaan
has no idea how the rest of India lives or functions. When he meets
Chutki, he dismisses her citing that she is a small village girl with
no prospect of a job in his advertising agency. However he changes his
mind when he comes face to face with her independent attitude and is
blown away. - Rohan - Rohan is a top attorney. His look may be that of

was earlier offered the role that Konkona Sen Sharma is doing. This is
Jaya Bachchan's first film in three years, her last film being Nikhil Advani's Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003).
The production of the film gathered some controversy as a lightman of the film drowned in the Ganga River. [5] and during a shooting session in Varanasi,
things got out of hand when bodyguards of Rani Mukerji started beating
media persons and fans, chasing them away from the shooting spot of the
film. A political and media storm followed, as various groups insisted
that Mukerji should have stopped the security guards. Rani then
apologized to the media, citing that the media were trying to get too
close to both her and Konkona Sen Sharma. [6] Some scenes involving Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan were shot in Bern, Switzerland and Spain.
