He has an elder brother whose name is Artaxerxes.

The strange and peculiar-in-a-pleasant-manner thing is the fact in which all his wild fantasies take shape in reality in a very surprising manner. Their father Khodaiji is a self-proclaimed protector-of-the-faith who thrives and survives on the attention, or more precisely, donations of the hopeful believers.

In Art, lives the growing love for the daughter of Presswala, a free-thinking newspaper publisher and Khodaji’s rival. On the other hand, Xerxes adores the maternal, Mrs.Presswala. However, the real chaos comes into form when Mr. Presswala writes a scathing critique of Khodaiji and public reaction is widespread. Consequently, rivalry and fights arise between the two families.

Liana (the younger daughter), finally lets Xerxes be his friend. Khodaiji shuts down Presswala's office. But what happens next? How do they settle down? Will Khodaiji reform his ways? Will Presswala let Art be Zenobia's friend or more? This is what shapes up the rest of the plot.
