Vijay is a compassionate young zamindar who meets Aruna at her mother’s deathbed and promises to care for her. After leaving for the city to study, he returns and proposes marriage to the grown Aruna, while his connection with Mallika and ignorance of Aruna’s blackmail create the central misunderstandings. Aruna (played by Anuradha) is a protagonist in Bahurani.
Aruna is a poor village girl born out of wedlock who suffers social rejection after her mother’s death. Taken into Vijay’s household, she is raised with Didi’s affection and later becomes Vijay’s chosen bride. Her hidden birth and the blackmail against her cause severe emotional suffering before the truth brings reconciliation. Diwanji (played by Mubarak) appears in Bahurani.
Diwanji is the loyal family retainer in Vijay’s household and the only person who knows Aruna’s secret birth. His knowledge makes him an important keeper of the family’s hidden truth, linking Aruna’s vulnerable position to the household and the eventual revelation that helps resolve the conflict. Mallika Rai (played by Rose Musleah) appears in Bahurani.
Mallika Rai is a sophisticated and idealistic college woman whom Vijay meets while studying in the city. Although their ideals align, Vijay remains emotionally distant from her. He later brings her back to assist with village work, and her presence becomes part of the misunderstanding surrounding Aruna’s emotional distress. Didi (played by Pratima Devi) appears in Bahurani.
Didi is Vijay’s elder sister, a loving member of the household who welcomes Aruna and treats her with affection. Unaware of Aruna’s illegitimate birth, she represents the family’s acceptance of Aruna before the secret causes tension.
