It is do-able and I have seen mum, dad and 2 kids on such machines in Asia.
But I think for your combination a 125 will be working hard and handling and braking would take some concentration.
I do not know where you intend riding but in busy urban environments as a rider for different periods of time I have been 2 up (Rider 75 kg + 60 kg pillion) on a Yamaha 175 trail bike and I found that handling and braking took some concentration from me.
And 2 up (rider 75 kg + 75 kg pillion) on a Honda 250 trailbike and I found that this combination was fine.

I know what a Bajaj discover is mate and understand what you mean. I am from India you see, just staying in the Uk for now
I think the biggest problem with these puny 125s is not really the frame or the motor. You can make slow progress even on a small 100 if you are within the recommended weight limit. Problem is suspension. I am not sure if the Bajaj had an option to increase the preload to make the rear harder, of course the front is never adjustable on these bikes are they?
You need to check if CBr125 has rear shock adjustable for preload. If it is, then the hardest setting would do just fine.
Incidentally the CBR600f I have only has around 200 kg rated weight capacity, so an engine which is about 10 times more powerful doesn't mean 10 times the weight carrying capacity
