Puber Moyna: Moyna cooks Bangladeshi cuisine for the family

‘Puber Moyna’, starring Gourab Roy Chowdhury and Aishani De, is picking up pace. As per the current track of the story, Roddur (played by Gourab) and his entire family went to see the immersion of the Durga Idol, famously known as ‘Bishorjon’. During Bishorjon, both the Bengal come together to observe the conclusion of festivities. On the other hand, Moyna (played by Aishani) was decked up to get married on Bijoya Doshomi. Rajaram brought her to the temple as his bride. As Rajaram forced Moyna to marry her, she fled from the temple. Moyna ran to the river where the idols were being immersed and drowned herself. Roddur, who was on a boat-ride with his family, found her unconscious at the bank of the river. Upon finding Moyna unconscious, Roddur brought her home. Moyna gained consciousness after some time, and got acquainted with Roddur’s family. Roddur’s family was taken by the jovial nature of Moyna.

Although Moyna and Roddur are mostly loggerheads with each other, Moyna grows on Roddur’s family with her innocence and chirpiness. However, Moyna is not ready to disclose about her past to them yet. Instead, Moyna strives to make them happy. So, she decides to cook authentic Bangladeshi cuisine for the family.

Will Moyna be able to make a place for herself in Roddur’s family?

‘Puber Moyna’ aims to tell the story of Roddur Dasgupta, a young man from a uniquely dysfunctional family where no one gets along and Moyna, a girl from Bangladesh with a traumatic past. Roddur's family is infamous in their locality for their constant bickering which leads Roddur to vow never to marry. Moyna, who was married to a man from Bangladesh, with nefarious intentions, escapes from her dire situation and finds herself on the run. By chance, she encounters Roddur's mother, Ronjaboti and manages to save her belongings from thieves. Ronjaboti eventually gives her shelter. Moyna's simplicity and warmth gradually win over Roddur's family, bringing them closer together. Unaware of Moyna's past, Roddur marries her and Moyna eventually reveals her story to him. Roddur is initially shocked and outraged but chooses to keep her secret from the rest of the family. Just when it seems Moyna may find peace and happiness, her past resurfaces, threatening to disrupt their newfound harmony.

‘Puber Moyna’ narrates a story that beautifully captures the journey of overcoming past misfortunes to find happiness and a second lease on life. Not just that, the makers of the show believe that the show will be a touchstone of nostalgia for ‘Dui Bangla’.
