A unique plot coupled with a stellar cast can only result in a successful mega serial. Irabotir Chupkotha, produced by Acropolis Entertainment is a sparkling example of this instance.
Monami Ghosh and Syed Arefin as Ira and Akash,have brought to life two characters that embody the spirit of Chalo Paltai. Two individuals in their late thirties with contrasting dispositions, eventually find solace in each other’s company.
With Irabotir Chupkatha – Bengal witnessed the journey of Iraboti and Akash who had conditioned themselves to lead mundane lives until they fell for one another and realized that it is never too late to give love a second chance.
Soon after its launch in August 2018,Iraboti made her nest in the hearts of the women in Bengal. They loved, laughed, cried and rejoiced together.
As the story took an 18-year leap, we saw Monami Ghosh in a double role- playing the titular character- Iraboti as well as Saloni- Iraboti’s long-lost daughter.
