[2] In Delhi, Balraj Bahri met his future wife, Bhag, who also came from a refugee background, having migrated from Dera Ismail Khan in the North-West Frontier Province.
Life as a refugee was challenging, and in the early years, Balraj and his brother took on various jobs to support their family.
[4][5] Balraj Bahri's wife, Bhag, played a significant role in the bookstore's operations, managing the cash counter and later taking early retirement from her government job to support the family business full-time.
In 1978, their son, Anuj, joined the business,[6] and Bahrisons Bookshop is currently run by him and his wife Rajni.
An updated and revised edition, written by Bahri in collaboration with his daughter, the oral historian Aanchal Malhotra, was published to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the bookshop in 2023.
