Watch Jamuna Dhaki and other shows only on ZEE5.
Upcoming Bengali TV serial, Amader Ei Poth Jodi Na Shesh Hoy, is all set to start airing on ZEE5 from April 12. This latest addition to Zee Bangla’s huge array of undeniably inspirational and entertaining television shows will star actors Anwesha Hazra as Urmi and Writwik Mukherjee as Satyaki in lead roles. And it looks like Urmi, the sweet and cheerful young leading lady of the show, needs a quick tour into the depths of her cultural heritage as a person of true Bengali origin.
Watch the trailer of Amader Ei Poth Jodi Na Shesh Hoy here:
The proximity to Noboborsho
In a recent promo of the show, we witness how the residents of Bengal prepare to celebrate the upcoming Noboborsho with various festivities dedicated to the occasion. While little kids lead a procession carrying Poila Boishakh posters and the older ones sing and dance right behind them, Urmi realises it is a special day of festivities in the city.
Urmi’s understanding of ‘Poila Boishakh’
However, she calls it a mere ‘holiday’ and fails to recognise the actual significance of the day’s celebrations. Despite being a member of a Bengali household full of her family members living in Kolkata, Urmi has little to no understanding of Poila Boishakh being the Bengali new year.

Symbolism of the Bengali culture
Urmi happens to be a professional driver of the yellow taxis, one of the iconic symbols of Kolkata’s history and heritage. However, she is rather detached from the numerous other details of her roots, even though unintentionally. Annoyed from the knowledge of none of her family members being home on the holiday, she goes for a drive in her taxi. Eventually, Urmi stumbles upon the celebrations of the Noboborsho at Satyaki’s house and is left mesmerised by it. The surprised look on Urmi’s face makes it evident that she is possibly extremely unfamiliar with the deeper intricacies of such traditional Bengali celebrations.

Urmi’s disconnect with her roots
A smart and jolly young woman, Urmi has grown up amidst various art forms, which make for another key aspect of the Bengali culture. But it is somewhat astounding to witness her choice of western clothing and her decision of hugging the elderly instead of touching their feet on the occasion. She also ends up addressing Satyaki’s grandmother as ‘thammi aunty’, leaving others around her surprised. With members singing inside the house and people indulging in dancing on the roads, Urmi still fails to recognise the relation of the festivities to the culture she belongs to.

‘Shubho Noboborsho’ turns ‘Happy New Year’
Urmi looks absolutely delighted at the sight of such a beautiful and traditional celebration, which she has never really experienced before. Further, when Urmi wishes the grandmother a ‘Happy New Year’, Satyaki corrects her immediately stating that one is supposed to wish others a ‘Shubho Noboborsho’ instead. At this, Urmi seems even more interested to learn about the details of her culture. Thus, we believe a sweet little ride back to her roots could do her a lot of good.
