The new Zee Bangla show Phulki is a passionate love story starring Abhishek Basu and Divyani Mondal. Divyani plays the title role of Phulki, a bright and mentally strong underprivileged girl, while Abhishek Basu plays the male protagonist, Rohit, an ex-boxer who is trying to cope with his past trauma of disgrace and the burden of being responsible for his brother’s death.

While the boy is trapped in the past, the girl deals with life’s problems positively and wants to move ahead. They meet and get married. Phulki slowly and steadily brings in a positive vibe in the boy and the family and shows a new way of living to the boy. But she gets disheartened to learn that Rohit still loves his ex-wife, Shalini. On the other hand, Rohit tries to find a new way of living by realising his dream of being a champion boxer through Phulki and at the same time can’t forget his past with Shalini. While dealing with his past and present simultaneously, Rohit realises what is best for him.

Other cast members of Phulki include Sohon Bandyopadhyay, Mishka Halim, Sudip Sarkar, Ankita Majhi, Sanjay Basu, Ridhis Chowdhury, Arpita Mondal, Ayendri Roy, Koushambi Chakraborty and Avery Singha Roy.

To mark the occasion, a Cyclothon was organised as a part of the launch ceremony. The Cyclothon served as a powerful symbol of the upcoming drama, Phulki, and its core themes of resilience and togetherness.

“Zee Bangla narrates varied stories which are very much relevant today. In our new mega, Phulki, we are focussing on a completely different take on the institution of love and passion. Here, the story of Phulki portrays the journey of two individuals who, despite their contrasting backgrounds and struggles, find love and inspiration in each other. Through their relationship, they learn to confront their pasts, overcome challenges, and embrace a brighter future together. To highlight the spirit of togetherness, love and shared dreams we arranged a Cyclothon. This event not only celebrates the essence of Phulki but also encourages the joy of bonding,’’ said Samrat Ghosh, chief cluster officer, east, Zee Bangla.

“Love has the power to heal wounds, ignite dreams and redefine our lives. In Phulki, we witness the beautiful union of Phulki and Rohit, two souls entangled in the tapestry of fate. It is a story that exemplifies the strength of a resilient underprivileged girl and the transformative power of love. Through Phulki’s unwavering spirit and Rohit’s journey of self-discovery, we are reminded that our past does not define us, but rather it is our present that shapes our future. Phulki, like a spark, is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the ability to find solace, hope and a new way of living amidst life’s trials,” said Navnita Chakraborty, business head, Zee Bangla.

Phulki airs from June 12, Monday to Sunday at 7.30pm on Zee Bangla.
