What is the definition of beauty? No matter how thin or obese you are, beauty is a sense you have deep inside. The pride and self-assurance you exude define your beauty. One such tale is that of Sohag, a girl featured on Colors Bangla’s new serial Sohag Chand who is kind-hearted and nearly faultless but is consistently turned down by would-be husbands due to her weight. The serial pays homage to people who think love only goes so far.

A press meet for this upcoming serial was organized recently in the presence of the cast and crew of the serial.

Sohag is a plus-size woman who is a bank professional. She is a romantic at heart. She is turned down by prospective grooms for her appearance 34 times, but she is unaware of the necessity for a flawless bride in the world. However, she harbors the hope that one day she would meet her prince charming who will fall in love with her for who she truly is on the inside. On the other hand, Chand is a fitness enthusiast who wants to start a sports academy. Chand is searching for a bride who is slim, attractive, and ideal. Will Sohag and Chand ever fall in love despite being neighbors and childhood friends? Will he ever recognize Sohag’s inherent beauty?

Anwesha Chakraborty, winner of Ms. Plus Size 2019 will essay the role of Sohag, and Abhishek Veer Sharma who was last seen in Mou er Bari will be essaying the role of Chand.

Speaking at the event, Anwesha Chakraborty said “I simply do not understand why beauty is judged through parameters like fat or slim, fair or dark and so on. One might be fat and yet healthy too. Often metabolism plays an important role in the way we look. Some of us become slim while others become fat. The personality of the individual should matter more than his/her looks. This concept of beauty positivity is what we will be promoting through this serial”.

Other important artists who are part of this serial include Bharat Kaul, Tanuka Chatterjee, Srabani Banik, Debottam Majumder, and others.

Bharat Kaul said “I find Sohini Sengupta to be beautiful. When I see her performing on stage, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You might think that she is obese but I am not concerned about her weight. The person she is and her work matters more to me. Change cannot happen within a day. We need to start from our homes to bring in changes in society regarding body positivity”.

Produced by Surinder Films, Sohag Chand will air every day at 7 pm on Colors Bangla.
