Bidipta Chakraborty is happy to play a mother’s role in Alo Chaya. “It is so nice to work with kids. You learn so many new things from them. I play
a mother to Chaya and Alo, who is an orphan. I brought her home because I know she is the daughter of my sister, who had gone missing. Hiya Dey, who used to play Potol in Potol Kumar Gaanwala, plays Alo. My daughter, Ida, is so happy that I am playing Hiya’s on-screen mother! She even told me that I don’t need to play Chaya’s mother because I look good with Alo,” she said with a smile.
