The Sharma-Yadav residence in Delhi was more than a home—it was an empire in marble and stone, filled with portraits of warriors, surgeons, and statesmen. Every corner of the sprawling estate breathed the legacy of two of India's most powerful families.
At its heart stood General Raghav Sharma, the legendary Chief of Staff of India's Army, Navy, and Air Force. His gaze, sharp as steel, commanded respect wherever he walked. Beside him, his wife Upasana Sharma, the nation's most respected investigative reporter, balanced the family's power with truth and words sharper than swords.
Together, they had raised five children.
The eldest, Rajesh Sharma (45), carried his father's discipline into the corridors of government. An honest, dominant central officer, his decisions shaped policies across the nation. His wife, Dr. Priya Yadav Sharma (43), eldest daughter of the Yadavs, was revered across the world as the "Second Hippocrates," a surgeon unmatched in every field of medicine. Their three children were prodigies themselves: Anand Sharma (15), already a strategist with a soldier's heart; Kavya Sharma (13), graceful and wise, often called Mukul's second mother; and Mukul Sharma (5), the child of prophecy, lost to fate.
The second son, Rajendra Sharma (42), forged his path in diplomacy. As India's Foreign Secretary, he balanced wars with words and secured alliances others thought impossible. His wife, Dr. Shalini Verma Sharma (40), was a renowned neuropsychologist, whose research reshaped global understanding of the human mind. Together they had twins—Arjun Sharma (12), fiery and brave, and Ananya Sharma (12), sharp-eyed and logical. Both were elder than Mukul and destined to carry their parents' brilliance.
The twins of the Sharma family came next. Sunita Sharma (39), a Supreme Court Judge, was known for verdicts that struck fear into the corrupt. Her twin sister, Tanushree Sharma (39), commanded respect as the Director of India's Intelligence Bureau. The sisters' marriages were a union of fate: Sunita wed Vikram Malhotra (41), a decorated Major General, while Tanushree married Vikram's twin, Varun Malhotra (41), a naval commander. From these twin unions came two sets of triplets.
Sunita and Vikram's children: Rhea (11), Rudra (11), and Ritika (11).
Tanushree and Varun's children: Veer (11), Vanya (11), and Vivaan (11).
Six cousins, inseparable, already showed signs of carrying the family's warrior blood.
The youngest Sharma, Mukesh Sharma (35), chose commerce over combat. As a business tycoon, he expanded the family's wealth into global markets, ensuring the Sharmas were as dominant in boardrooms as they were on battlefields.
If the Sharmas were steel, the Yadavs were fire.
Devendra Yadav (68), patriarch and party president, commanded political storms with a voice that could sway millions. His wife, Dr. Ragini Yadav (65), Mukul's maternal grandmother, was the greatest surgeon of her age—universally honored in every medical hall of fame.
Their four children were legends in their own right.
Dr. Priya Yadav Sharma (43), their eldest, carried both families' banners proudly.
Dr. Arvind Yadav (40), a cardiologist, saved lives with hands as steady as stone. His wife, Meera Arvind Yadav (38), was an oncologist who battled cancer with relentless precision. Together, they had twins: Rohit Yadav (14), quick-witted and ambitious, and Roshni Yadav (14), elegant and compassionate. Both were elder than Mukul, carrying the torch of medicine.
Dr. Aarav Yadav (38), a pediatric surgeon, was known as the "Child Healer." His wife, Ishita Yadav (36), was a geneticist pioneering treatments yet to be dreamt of. Their twins, Karan Yadav (13) and Kriti Yadav (13), were clever, bold, and far ahead of their peers.
The youngest, Dr. Anamika Yadav (35), was as fierce as she was brilliant—a neurosurgeon whose skill matched her sister Priya's. She married Justice Aditya Singh (37), a Supreme Court Judge hailed as incorruptible. Their triplets—Kabir (12), Kiaan (12), and Kiara (12)—were sparks of brilliance already shaping their futures.
Together, the Sharma-Yadav clan was a dynasty of power—military, political, medical, judicial, and business—all bound by blood and honor. And yet, amidst their triumphs, every heart carried one wound: the loss of little Mukul, taken by fate in Beijing.
The great house often fell silent at dusk, as portraits of ancestors seemed to watch over them, waiting for the day the child with the seven stars would return. A family so powerful was unshaken by war or politics—but by prophecy and love, they remained vulnerable.
