Sharad Ghotala/87 square

***Sharad Ghotala*** is one of the main characters of the show Badi Door Se Aaye Hain. He is around 210 years(in alien years which equals to around 21 years old in human years). He is the younger brother of Vasant Ghotala, brother-in-law to Varsha Ghotala, and uncle to Hemant and Shishir. He has the most fascinating and also potentially sensitive superpowers among his family members. His superpowers include hypnotism, memory erasure, mind control, telepathy, shapeshifting, and getting bloated like a balloon. He has catchphrases like 'logically dekha jaaye to' and 'relax relax' which he uses very often. It was love at first sight for him when he encountered Anna, his human neighbor. He often starts to do 'ya-ya-ya-ya-ya' whenever Anna praises him or even looks at him. He shares a friendly and good banter with Hemant(his nephew), who likes giving him company in everything he does, including crying and doing 'ya-ya-ya-ya', he was also revealed to be pretty close to 2015 (his lost nephew), as they both are very close in age to each other, he even taught him to walk and used to supply him with sunrays during a solar eclipse when the boys were young and on their planet. The status of his parents is unknown, however, it was stated casually in one episode that his and Vasant's father passed away long ago. The status of his childhood is also largely unknown, however, it can be deciphered that he grew up alongside his nephews and niece, under the care of his older brother Vasant, his sister-in-law Varsha, and probably his parents as well.

When Anna's first love Manav returns to their life, he initially shares a turbulent relationship with him, heartbroken and even resentful towards him, but slowly and steadily, upon seeing how much Manav sides with his family, he starts building a genuine friendship with him. He loves and respects his elder brother Vasant a lot and whenever he is in some sort of trouble or distress, the first person he would call him out to share his feelings with and find solutions to his problems. He also shares a beautiful banter with his sister-in-law, Varsha, who is very obedient towards her and has sincere adoration and respect for her, looking for her validation when Vasant scolds him. He gets married to Anna in the latter half of the show, however she leaves with Liza to Goa and later Portugal.

## **Sharad-Vasant:**

Vasant is Sharad's elder brother. Sharad is very close to him and Vasant is a father figure to him. Sharad loves and respects him a lot. He obeys his commands, even when he is not happy with them, as he understands that his brother wants what's best for him. Whenever Sharad is in some kind of trouble, is in distress, needs someone to share his feelings with, or needs to take some advice for anything, the first person he calls out with complete trust in his brother. He calls for him, be it his love life, or just something in general. Vasant calls Sharad beta quite often in the series, and Sharad is quite content with this affectionate address. Their relationship, like every other, is not without conflicts. For instance, In episode 22, Vasant scolds Sharad and accuses him of being selfish and using his lost nephew 2015 as an excuse to use his superpowers with the ultimate aim of being close to Anna. He also questions his concern for 2015, suggesting that he and Varsha are the ones who lost a son. Later, he realizes his mistake and apologizes to Sharad. Similarly, in episode 88, Vasant's plan to help Sharad woo Anna backfires, and when he attempts to calmly talk to Sharad and references 2015, Sharad blasts him, suggesting that he has a life beyond 2015. Sharad immediately realizes that made a mistake, and regrets his behavior quite deeply, as evidenced when he hugs Vasant immediately, accepts his mistake, and begs for his forgiveness again and again for hurting him. Vasant almost immediately forgives him and is touched by his remorse and how highly he regards him.
