Susmita Dey as Katha
Susmita Dey plays the title role of Katha in the Star Jalsha serial.
The initial promos introduce Katha as a kind-hearted person who has a special love for gardening. Her personality and outlook on life contrast strongly with those of Agnibha, setting the stage for the central relationship of the serial.
Susmita Dey made her television debut with Bodhu Kon Alo Laaglo Chokhe, playing Malobika Dutta. She later worked with Star Jalsha in Ponchomi and returned to the channel with Katha in another lead role.
Saheb Bhattacharya as Agnibha
Saheb Bhattacharya plays Agnibha, the male lead of Katha.
Agnibha is a chef who is extremely passionate about his profession. His personality, lifestyle and priorities are considerably different from Katha’s, and the relationship between these two contrasting characters forms the central attraction of the story.
The promotional line for the serial highlights precisely this contrast:
কোলকাতার শেফ অগ্নিভ ও গোবরডাঙার মিস গোবর রাণীর তেলে জলে কি মিশ খাবে কখনও?
The premise asks whether Kolkata-based chef Agnibha and the nature-loving Katha from Gobardanga can ever overcome their differences and come together.
Katha Serial Story
Katha revolves around two people with distinctly different personalities and lifestyles – Katha and Agnibha.
Katha is portrayed as a warm-hearted young woman whose love for gardening and nature is an important part of her personality. Agnibha, meanwhile, is a professional chef whose career and passion for cooking define much of his life.
Their contrasting worlds provide the foundation for the serial. The story explores their relationship and what happens when two people who initially appear as incompatible as oil and water become connected.
