Apu is the youngest child of Harihar and Sarbajaya. When Apu is born, Harihar says he will educate him as he desires to become a writer and pass on his skills to his son. We watch Apu grow to be a young boy who experiences the deaths of his Auntie Indir and his sister Dargur before moving away with his mother and father. He has a deep sense of wonder and imagination, and looks up to his older sister, Durga.
