There is no room for ego in a marriage'

According to Dr Saktirupa Chakraborty and Dr Suranjan Chakrabarti, both consultant obstetricians and gynecologists, a marriage is always about mutual respect, trust and shared values.

United by their profession and strengthened by life's challenges, the couple has spent over 45 years supporting each other through thick and thin.

Introduced during their house staff days, the couple's marriage was a blend of love and arrangement. “My wife joined as house staff at the Medical College while I was a senior house staff. We were both drawn to each other but never expressed. Once my mother-in-law got sick and was admitted to the hospital. She saw me there and eventually contacted my family, leading to our arranged marriage,” shared Dr Suranjan. The couple tied the knot on 5 February 1979.
