Nokshi Kantha was an Indian television soap opera in Bengali that premiered on 12 November 2018 and aired on the Bengali General Entertainment Channel Zee Bangla. The show was produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures of Saibal Banerjee and Leena Gangopadhyay. The show replaced the popular drama series Andarmahal. It aired its final episode on 10 July 2020. Ki Kore Bolbo Tomay took over its time slot starting 13 July 2020 every Monday to Saturday at 9:30 p.m.

The show stars actress Manali Dey[1] of Bou Kotha Kao fame and actor Suman Dey of Bodhuboron and E Amar Gurudakshina fame in the lead roles. This show marks the comeback of actress Manali Dey in a lead role [2] on Bengali Television after 2 years, since her portrayal of Nidhi in the Colors Bangla show "Bhule Jeona Please" and her stint as Mouli in the Zee Bangla horror-comedy series Bhutu. In this show, she played the lead role "Shabnam".[3]

Series overview[edit]

Shabnam is a Muslim girl by birth, who aspires to become a doctor. She believes in changing orthodox views and discrimination in the society through her continuous quest to harbour a kinship with a traditional Bengali Hindu family that she has known since her childhood. Her life takes a turn when she runs away from her forced marriage and is rescued by a hearty doctor, Jashojit. Jashojit marries her in order to stand by Shabnam in her quest to become self dependent and achieve her dreams. What follows is how Shabnam fulfills her dream of becoming a doctor, while she struggles to adjust in a conservative Hindu family and get accepted by her in-laws.
