Plot 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 artiste 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 marriage night Kaushik, to his shock, discovers that Teesta is flat-chested. The shock develops into sense of being cheated, anger and finally hatred. Teesta goes and seeks solution from Sharmistha di, her boss. When Soumitra arrives he is turned away. Soumitra draws a diagram one day and shows the shortcoming of Teesta's body to Joydeep who in turns tells it to Sujoy, Sujoy to Anjit. Teesta hears about this from Anjit. She asks Soumitro not to make a mockery of her any more and asks for a divorce. A few years later Soumitro again comes across Anjit and Teesta with their daughter at the back. Anijit and Teesta stayed in touch and found solace in each other and were married. Teesta tells Soumitro that her husband is quite happy with her as well as her daughter in spite of her physical shortcoming and they have a very happy married life.
