On the wedding night, Saumitra, to his shock, discovers that Teesta is flat-chested. The shock develops into a sense of being cheated, anger and finally, hatred. Teesta confides in and seeks advice from Sharmistha di, her boss. When Saumitra arrives, he is turned away. Saumitra draws a diagram one day and shows the shortcomings of Teesta's body to Joydeep, who in turn tells Sujoy and Sujoy to Anjit. Teesta hears about this from Anjit.
