  Apu Nahasapeemapetilon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apu and Manjula have a mostly happy marriage, despite understandable marital problems caused by Apu's workaholic nature (he seems to be at his post around the clock), the strain of caring for eight children, and two instances of infidelity by Apu.
When Apu's and Manjula's parents were first arranging their marriage, Apu was shown as the oldest of 3 on a chart.
Apu is known as a legend in the realm of Kwik-E-Mart employment for working for over 96 hours in one shift.

 DVD Verdict Review - The World Of Apu
Apu's story picks up in adulthood (in which he is played by Soumitra Chatterjee, who would become one of Ray's most frequent players), with Apu graduated from college and living in Calcutta, where he is a struggling writer working on an autobiographical novel.
The World of Apu is presented with straightforward realism, its joys and heartbreaks coming not from the pen of a writer but from the cosmos itself—a cosmos that cares nothing for human morality or mercy, but demands that human beings forge their own path through life.
Scenes with Apu and Aparna bantering playfully in their apartment, Apu at a train station learning of a loved one's death, and a distraught Apu considering ending his own life, are shot with unadorned, raw intensity, Ray's directorial eye drawing the humanity of his characters into the forefront of every shot.

Apu is alone in the world, having already lost his sister (Pather Panchali) and father and mother (Aparajito).

Apu and Aparna's gentle relationship is punctuated by bursts of pathos and comedy, but their union is so effectively crafted that it's easy for the viewer to lose him- or herself in the simple beauty of Ray's world.
