Guide Mentor
Character Role Analysis
Laxmi
Laxmi is an accidental guide. She has no clue what's going in Miranda's life, but her ranting about her cousin's cheating husband and her womanly support for her emotionally-wrought cousin helps Miranda realize her relationship with Dev will go nowhere.
The community in TBH
Talk about going above and beyond: the community in TBH nurtures Bibi when she's pregnant; they teach her how to raise a child; they boycott Haldar's shop and then, in turn, support Bibi when she takes over the shop. Where would Bibi be without her community? Like Boori Ma, probably—out in the street.
