The show starred Sohini Guha Roy (of Colors Bangla's show "Resham Jhanpi" fame) [2] and Soumya Mukherjee (who had previously acted in a Hoichoi web series). The show explores the star crossed romance of Tisham and Souradeep who struggle to unite for their love under adverse circumstances.

Premise

edit

The story is set against the backdrop of Durga Puja, where beautiful and talented singer Tisham snips away Souradip's heart at first sight. The dramatic and romantic first meeting is one to remember, but fate has some other plans for the two. They are separated only to reunite. Mayurpankhi is a story of two souls and their struggle for love against all odds under diverse circumstances.[3]
