Boori Ma
The husband of Mrs. Dalal and a lower-level toilet part salesman. He lives the same apartment building where Boori Ma lives and works. When he is suddenly promoted to a management position at his company, his newfound moderate wealth prompts him to buy a communal wash basin for the building and a private one for his home. This influences other residents to make changes themselves, from painting the building to hiring an exterminator. After this promotion, he and Mrs. Dalal go on vacation and are not around to fend for Boori Ma when the other residents accuse her of stealing the basin and dismiss her from the building.
