[edit]

Saumitra, a brilliant painter and sculptor, visits Khajuraho Group of Monuments to draw inspiration and meets Teesta there through a common friend, Anjit, who is an artist too. Love blossoms between them in Kolkata, and though their family and economic standards are poles apart, they decide to marry. Teesta breaks away from her rich, blue-blood family. 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. She asks Saumitro not to make a mockery of her any more and asks for a divorce. A few years later, Saumitro comes across Anjit, Teesta and their daughter. Anijit and Teesta remained in touch and later got married. Teesta tells Saumitro that her husband is quite happy with her despite her physical shortcomings, and they have a happy married life.
