It was evident from the very beginging that Mr. and Mrs. Das were immature and selfish parents of  three strong spirited children. Mr. Kapasi’s character was one that was simple and professional, but the complexity of his emotions were later on projected. Mr. Kapasi was the driver and tour guide for these people visiting India. Quickly, Mr. Kapasi noticed Mr. and Mrs. Das’s lack of connection or interest for each other. Mr. Das asks questions about Mr. Kapasi’s line of work and Mr. Kapasi reveals that he is also an interpreter for a doctor. His job was to simply translate for the doctor since he did not speak Gujarati. To himself he was simply a translator. Mrs. Das glorified his profession and offered a new perspective as someone who helps others get well instead of someone who helps someone who treats patience. This was ignited Mr. Kapasi’s feeling towards Mrs. Das. He began to compare his relationship with his arranged wife to the family’s. Unfortunately for Mr. Kapasi, Mrs. Das only saw him as a father figure while Mr. Kapasi invisioned himself writing endless letter to Mr. Das when she would go home to New Jersey. Later on, Mrs. Das reveals a secret to Mr. Kapasi that she has not told anyone about why he family is broken to her hoping for him to share his wisdom but Mr. Kapasi had nothing much to say to her, but instead broke into confusion and questioned why she did so.
