Ram has his ideologies of life clearly laid down. Is in his early 40’s and has this notion that he isn’t  fit to marry now as now he is too comfortable with his own company and doesn’t need anyone to share his space with. Is into his business and looks after every little thing that his family need. A complete metropolitan rich bachelor. He is shrewd and a little cold at times not because he is not sensitive to other people’s feeling but more because he hasn’t opened up to anyone apart from his childhood friend. Doesn’t have too many friends. Doesn’t believe in socializing at page three parties rather he believes in escalating his business empire to unreachable heights. Puts his family before everything.
