Bas Ek Pal is a journey of revelations, passions, jealousies, insecurities, love and anger, as each character searches for that ever-elusive moment of happiness. Single, handsome, passionate, flamboyant, witty and a little arrogant. Not only does he think that he is the best, he is also by nature an incorrigible flirt. He worked with an MNC after graduating from a management school in Boston. After the death of his parents in a road accident in the US, he relocates to India where his buddy Rahul is settled.     Single, introvert, charming, sensitive and loving. Even when he was in school with Nikhil, Rahul always knew that he would one day be taking care of the family business. It was not what he would have ideally wanted to do in life though. He loves to cook, cares for his friends and family. Like his childhood buddy Nikhil, he too loves sports, especially basketball. He is often at the basketball court with his friend Steve.     A builder by profession, not choice. Having failed in his export venture, Steve joined his dad’s construction firm, something which he had never wanted to do. The failure also made him turn to alcohol, leading to the ruin of his marriage. Married for the last five years, he loves his wife Ira intensely, but their marriage is going through a bad phase. Alcoholism has made him abusive towards his wife, more so as he suspects that she is having an affair with someone else. This thought is driving him crazy.     A former Miss India, who gave up the life of glamour to get married to the man she loved - Steve. She married him against the wishes of her family and as the marriage sailed into turbulent waters, she wanted to but found it difficult to leave. Steve keeps threatening to kill himself if she mentions wanting out. Presently she spends most of her time working for an old age home.     Single, attractive, extrovert, vivacious. Anamika or as her friends call her, Anu is an intelligent and vibrant person. A civil engineer by profession, she is well aware of the admiring looks that she gets from her male colleagues, often using this to her advantage. She is ambitious, hard-working, and also likes to live it up and party a lot. During one such night of partying, Anamika meets Nikhil at Anticlock pub….
