Purna is the daughter of Justice Barun Chatterjee, the judge responsible for Shantu's imprisonment. Born and brought up conservatively, she never thought of meeting a man and falling in love with him, thus agreeing for an arranged marriage with Ritam. Shantu, on the other hand applies sindoor on Purna's forehead in a fit of rage just to prove his point about marriage, but he later regrets it. Though shocked and distraught at first, Purna leaves Ritam on the very ritual whereas Ritam supports Purna and says he loves her irrespective of the accidental sindur which is not really a marriage by law.
