Riddhiman is Singha Roy's eldest son (he is three months younger than Rahul). Among the three, he is the most adored. He has assumed leadership of his family's business as the eldest. Even though he looks haughty from the outside. He is a well-mannered and law abiding man. Just like Khori he is outspoken, can't tolerate injustice and always puts his family first before himself.
