Covid-19 has taught us that the importance of families. It is your family which has been your source of strength during these dark and grave times. Keeping this in mind, Star Jalsha has come up with the story of a unique joint family for the viewers titled Khorkuto.

The story revolves around two different individuals- Gungun and Soujonya who find love in each other. Gungun is a flamboyant, rich and intelligent girl with a kind heart. Soujonya is a scholar by profession and a man of principles who hails from a middle-class joint family. What happens when Gungun and Soujonya’s paths cross?

A digital press conference was organized recently which was attended by the cast of the serial along with the producer duo, Leena Ganguli and Saibal Banerjee.

The role of Gungun will be essayed by actor Trina Saha. “I play Gungun which is a character quite different from the ones I have played before. I am experiencing goosebumps as I will be acting opposite such experienced actors in the serial” said the actress.

Soujonya will be portrayed by ace actor Koushik Roy. “After Phagun Bou, I took a break. And now I am again returning to serials with Khorkuto which is produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures. Working with Leena di and Saibal da is always a pleasure and they take the pains to develop such wonderful characters for the actors” said the actor at the digital press conference.

Sohini Sen Gupta will be seen in the role of Pishi in the serial. “When I was small, we used to live in a small house. My parents used to always keep the doors open of our house as many eminent theatre personalities came to our house at any time of the day. So my theatre group is more like a family to me. I scold them but I also love them. So I know the value of a joint family. And I am so grateful that I have been considered for this role” said the actress.

Chandan Sen will be seen in the role of Soujonya’s father. “It is like coming back home. I have worked with Leena and Saibal before and they give us such wonderful characters to portray. It is a wonderful feeling to be working with them yet again” said the versatile actor.

Ambarish Bhattacharya who will be seen as Soujonya’s uncle in the serial did not reveal much about his character as he himself was not fully aware about it. “I do not want to know much about my character as that kills the enthusiasm I feel when I play the character. Like the audience, I also want to know about the character as the serial progresses” said the actor.

The serial is produced by production house Magic Moments Motion Pictures.

Khorkuto is coming soon only on Star Jalsha SD & HD.
