“In ‘Kori Diye Kinlam’ I will be essaying the character of ‘Laxmi’ which has been once played by the iconic and the national award winning actress Aparna Sen.

This is challenging as well as an exciting experience for me as the people will be watching me in the character which has been once played by the versatile artist Late Tapas Paul on the silver screen. Moreover, this is my first break as a lead actor on the television screen so I am determined to give the best effort to bring out the finest shades of this particular role which are innocence, courage and sacrifice,” said actor, Arnab Biswas. Director Sajal Bose said ‘Kori Diye Kinlam’ reflects the society of the pre-independence era.
The lifestyle, beliefs, rituals and societal norms all dates back to this particular period. “It is quite tough to accurately portray on the television screen all sides and the twist of this much popular novel. But Arkoja, Sushrita and Arnab are all devoted actors. With each passing day we all learn and work together to entertain our audience with a completely different subject. I hope our all-time viewers will praise and share an optimistic response with the team of ‘Kori Diye Kinlam’,” said Bose. The Television series ‘Sahityer Shera Somoy’ was introduced in 2001.
