is a charismatic, star reporter for "K-TV." He is sensationalist, opportunistic, and treats news as entertainment to drive ratings. Ria Banerjee (Juhi Chawla) is his counterpart at the rival channel "Galaxy TV." She is equally ambitious and principled but finds herself constantly in competition with Ajay for the top scoop. Their professional rivalry is intense, often leading to public bickering, though they share a latent attraction and mutual respect.
