"I play the the title role and I am really happy to have bagged this offer. Anuja, who is writing the script, called me one day and narrated the story in a nutshell. I jumped at the offer because Adwytiya's character has got a lot of shades. It will give me an opportunity to showcase my acting prowess," says an elated Sohini. She is currently in the Sunderbans shooting for the same. Ask her about the storyline of "Adwytiya" and she elaborates, "The serial is about Adwytiya's life — her ups and downs. It stresses on the fact that
brilliant students, who leave the country and settle abroad, should spare some of their precious time for their homeland and work in the remote areas. The serial wants to drive home the point that with a little help from the privileged lot, the lives of those who lead a miserable existence can change."
Sohini is on cloud nine. She is getting acting tips from none other than Prosenjit Chatterjee himself! "Adwytiya is a simple girl who is confident but, at the same time, breaks down under stress. So, Bumbada asked me to be confident while acting and not to show overconfidence. In fact, he tells me, tor attitude ta kemon jeno lar ke lenge Hindustan er moto, but Adwytiya is a demure girl," Sohini grins.
Coming back to the serial, we ask if there a political angle in the serial? "Adwytiya's life can't be beyond
politics, love etc. One's life is obviously within a socio-economic-political boundary," says the actor.
And we only come to know about the condition of a remote village when there is any political turmoil and that too, through media.
But there are so many other issues like health, education, etc, which the villagers face but we are not aware of. "Adwytiya" tries to explore all these. The political and love angles have not come in as of now in the serial," informs Sohini.
There is more reason for our audience to cheer as Gaurav Chakrabarty, Indrasish Roy, Mithu Chakrabarty along with others are part of the cast of "Adwytiya" .
Sohini, who took a six-month-break from megaserials to pursue theatre, is presently acting in "Chirokumar Sabha." "As an actor, I realized that one can't mature if he or she is not part of stage. And I am happy to be treading the boards," confessed Sohini. Let's hope Sohini proves that she's second to none with "Adwytiya" .
