Star Jalsha’s New Year offering is a new serial- Desher Mati. With Desher Mati, the makers will be rediscovering the bonds of the family and will also be going back to the roots.

The story narrates the journey of a brave girl Noah, who believes in her roots and in the power of staying together as a family. In this urban digitized world, where people are becoming more and more isolated, younger generations are migrating out of their hometown. Noah upholds the traditional value system of being together as a family through ups and downs. She believes that true bonds are not defined by blood relations. With her strong belief in the ‘power of family’, she sets on a journey to unite the disjointed ‘Mukherjee Family’ of her locality.

The role of Noah will be essayed by Shruti Das and Dibyajyot Dutta will be seen in the role of the male protagonist. Dibyajyot Dutta gave an audition for the role. The actor felt blessed and lucky to be a part of this team. However, he felt that he had an important responsibility when he has to play this role.

Shruti das after completing her last serial Trinayani had messaged Leena Gangopadhyay on Facebook that she would love to work with her. But even before the message was seen, she got the chance to feature in this serial. It was dream come true for her. She felt lucky to have got such this role.

The show marks the return of Rahul Arunodoy Bandyopadhyay on Star Jalsha after a brief hiatus. Rahul said that his character Raja is more of a global citizen and believes that every living being- be it an animal or a bird or a human being is important. He empathizes with all living beings and that is an important characteristic of Raja.

Veterans Ashok Bhattacharya and Anushua Majumdar portray the role of the two senior-most members of the Mukherjee family. Bharat Kaul, Rooqma Roy, Tathagata Mukherjee, and others will be seen in pivotal roles in the serial.

The serial is produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures Pvt Ltd, led by Leena Gangopadhyay (Writer & Producer, Desher Mati) and Saibal Banerjee (Director & Producer, Desher Mati).

Leena Gangopadhyay said that we all have left our own roots and paid more attention to other things. She has been inspired by what is happening in our society and this has led her to come up with this story.

Desher Mati will start from 4^th January at 6:30 pm, daily on Star Jalsha.
