A pregnant woman comes to a Shiva temple and dies after giving birth to a baby girl. She is named Panchami. The priest was the only witness of this incident. He was astonished to see a snake instead of the umbilical cord. Panchami is a loyal devotee of Lord Shiva and she has the ability to communicate with snakes. She is bewildered when she understands this power. She is unable to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Kinjal Chowdhury is a young and dynamic entrepreneur who has lived and studied abroad. He is also trying to find a life-saving drug from snake venom. The plot of the upcoming serial Panchami revolves around these two characters.

A press meet was organized that was attended by Sushmita Dey, Rajdeep Gupta, Sahana Dutta, and Rohit Samanta.

Panchami will be essayed by Sushmita Dey. She had earlier worked in Bouma Ekghor. “The fact that she is herself a snake is not known to her. It will be really interesting to see how she reacts when she comes to know about this. Kinjal has a life threat from snakes. When Kinjal’s mother comes to know of this, she brings Panchami into Kinjal’s life. Panchami has the ability to communicate with snakes and hence she thought she would be able to save him. Little does she know that Panchami had to take revenge on her family only” said the actress.

Kinjal Chowdhury will be portrayed by Rajdeep Gupta. He is making a comeback in television. “I began my journey in television and I have come back again. I have worked in films and web series as well. As an actor, I have never tried to limit myself. The plot of the serial is interesting and I found this as a good project to come back to working in television again” said the actor.

The actor also said, “I am scared of snakes like many of us are. I am even scared of lizards as well”.

Panchami will begin from 5^th December, Monday to Sunday at 8.30 pm on Star Jalsha SD & HD.
