Ramesh Sanyal is Sudha's husband chosen by arranged marriage. He, like Sudha, has grown up without a father. Ramesh's mother, however, is very controlling and possessive of her son. Because he realizes Sudha is uncomfortable with him, he suggests on their wedding night that they delay their marital relationship until Sudha is more comfortable. When a doctor suggests that it is Ramesh and not Sudha who the reason Sudha cannot get pregnant, Ramesh agrees to seek treatment for his fertility problem.
