Its an insight that comes from a pan Indian perspective and has seen incredible success on Star Jalsha in the Bengal market as Mohor, from which our story is inspired.

However, life takes a sudden turn and she is forced by her father to marry for his monetary gains. But, she runs away from this marriage. Life is not easy for her as she hits all roadblocks and from here starts an audacious journey to fulfill her lifelong dream. She aspires to be independent enough to be able to stand on her own feet.”
