* LovingParentCruelParent: The heinous protagonist Vinayak and his wife after they've had a son, Pandurang, post-time skip. Vinayak, who's defined by his lifelong greed and ambition to better his miserable background and who commits indirect murder to protect his secrets, viciously throws his son around whatever room they're in for offences and bruises to his ego, and he's ultimately a negative influence. Pandurang's mother, though not above striking him one time when he makes a very disrespectful misogynistic comment to her face, is a more nurturing presence who implicitly doesn't want him to grow up to be as bad as his father.
