One of the biggest strengths of The Family Man Season 2 is its characters. From the trailers, it was evident that Srikant Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee), Suchi (Priyamani), Raji (Samantha Akkineni) and JK Talpade (Sharib Hashmi) would take the cake. However, a few characters in season 2 manage to stand out rather unpredictably. One didn’t really expect much from them or that they’ll do such impressive deeds. Bollywood Hungama in this feature presents seven of our favourite characters in this regard from The Family Man Season 2.

1. Dhriti (Ashlesha Thakur)

She was present even in Season 1 as the rebellious daughter of Srikant and Suchi. In her quest to continue with her cool attitude, she gets into a relationship with Kalyan (Abhay Verma). One thing leads to another and she gets kidnapped. At this juncture, the manner in which she eliminates Kalyan aka Salman and even saves herself from Sajid (Shahab Ali) while locking herself in the room was brave. Dhriti proves she has her father’s genes and can make for a great agent in the future!

2. Deepan (N Alagamperumal)

He is the voice of sanity among the Tamil rebels. He stresses on dialogue rather than violence and even helps the agencies in locating Bhaskaran (Mime Gopi). It is his Gandhian approach that makes him really awesome.

3. Seema Biswas (Basu)

She essays the part of the Prime Minister of India and is shown to be stubborn and adamant. There’s clear intel that she can lose her life if she goes ahead with the meeting with the Sri Lankan Prime Minister in Chennai. Yet, the way she decides to take the risk makes her a hero of sorts.

4. Late Asif Basra (Counselor)

He raises a lot of laughs with the way he would rattle off quotes. He’s so angry with Srikant’s behaviour that he tells the receptionist to charge him Rs. 5000 instead of Rs. 3000. He also forces his patients to buy a book which is said to be complimentary but is actually sold to them at a discounted price! However, towards the end, he wins hearts when he makes an important statement that truth does not always set one free. One really feels sad that such a fine actor had to end his life and is not alive to see how much people are raving about his performance.

5. Ravindra Vijay (Muthu Pandian)

He is likeable from the first scene especially when he taunts JK without him knowing about it. He also has issues with the stereotyping of people belonging to the South of India. But he’s friendly, he’s brave and he’s always there for his colleagues and the country at large.

6. Devadarshini Chetan (Umayal)

She is tough and hot-tempered and that’s evident when she throws away JK’s phone in the water. But when she realizes about JK’s real identity, she goes out of her way and even offers to pay for his new mobile phone. And her coolness comes to the fore when she asks JK to prepare a larger peg of whiskey and even admits nonchalantly that she won’t mind a cigarette. Raji overpowered her badly but one can’t take away the fact that she gave her best shot.

7. Uday Mahesh (Chellam)

He’s our most favourite character from the series! He’s the most cautious person in the country; he carries multiple phones and even knows how to smartly discard SIM cards once the job is done. And he’s an encyclopaedia of information and data that helps JK successfully finish the operation. One wonders how his earlier days at TASC must be. Who all are there in the family? Did he have to face some really unpleasant experiences that made him so cautious? If any character from The Family Man universe deserves spin off series, then it has to be the mysterious Chellam hands down!
