Coco Cherian As Rani Kapoor
Rani loves her doting father Ajay but has a complicated relationship with her mother. She feels stifled by Priya’s high expectations of her. While Priya believes women can, and should, have it all, Rani is less academic and far less ambitious.
The 15-year-old is a “girly girl” and dreams of getting married and having babies. She’s a nurturer, as evidenced in her loyalty and compassion as a friend but also in her love of children and animals.
Rani has a very active imaginative world. She’s a romantic, who loves Bollywood movies and is waiting for her handsome knight in shining armour to come along. With the right amount of attention, she is easily led which is apparent when wild boy Harley Canning comes on the scene.
