Sunil Majumdar is Anju's husband. Although he was raised by a traditionally Indian family, he breaks with tradition and meets Anju before the ritual bride viewing. Sunil approaches Anju in the Chatterjee bookstore and pretends to be interested in the author Virginia Woolf, an author whom he knows is Anju's favorite. When Anju later learns that Sunil has no interest at all in Woolf's writing, she feels as if she has been used by Sunil. Sunil also makes life hard for the newlywed couple because he insists upon sending large amounts of money back to India in an effort to repay his father for all that he has done.
