Naveen Kumari was the strict father of Shanti Kumari (Nisha Madhan). He arrived for Shanti's wedding and was disappointed his daughter did not marry Dinesh (Amin Sheikh) but soon came around to loving the New Zealand culture. It was soon revealed his marriage with Shobna (Leela Patel) was on the rocks but the two eventually reconciled and departed. Naveen returned in 2009 for Shanti's funeral.
