Hello Rajeev. If I may make a few suggestions. You have brightened the entire image rather than targeting the shadowing of the subjects.

Here I have isolated the two subjects and targeted the shadows using layer masks and a Curves adjustment layer along with it's mask as well.

This way, the background is not affected.

note: This was done quickly and could use more work, it's for demo purposes only.
