His closest emotional bond is with his sister Ananya who is married to the anatagonist, Krishnendu Sengupta.
Pakhi and Aranya meet for the first time at the Rajmahal Hotel where she accidentally falls from the stage into his arms. Aranya misunderstands this as intentional and uploads a video of the incident on social media. This results in Pakhi's divorce, and her family faces humiliation. They move to Kolkata where Pakhi gets a job in the ASR Group of Industries. In the initial days, Pakhi causes problems in the office, which incurs ASR's anger and prompts him to insult her. Anu meets Pakhi and hires her to take care of Pamela, ASR's college friend and fiancee. Pakhi moves in, and ASR feels disturbed with her presence in his house. Circumstances bring them close and they share some romantic moments together. Meanwhile, Krishnendu (Anu's husband) lusts for Pakhi. Misunderstandings creep in between ASR and Pakhi and she is compelled to accept Krishnendu's proposal, leaving ASR heartbroken. However, Pakhi realizes the true intention of Krishnendu and breaks the alliance. ASR breaks off the engagement with Pamela, and reconcile with Pakhi.
