Directed and produced by Rabi Ojha, Ek Akasher Niche is a very popular Bengali TV serial revolving around the members of a colourful joint family. The leading characters are played by actors Parthasarathi Deb, Chaitali Ghosal, Saswata Chatterjee, Sudipa Basu and Rumni Sengupta among others. Ek Akasher Niche was one of the longest shows to run on Bengali TV, and many of us have fond memories of watching an episode every weeknight. Today we bring you five reasons why we loved it so much.

Ek Akasher Niche centres around a big family, and each member of it has a different personality. What we love is that they are all characters leading lives we can relate to. We can identify with their joys and their pains, their everyday troubles and worries, and their hopes and dreams. This is why we got engrossed into their daily lives, and got hooked to the show.

Because the story is about a large family and runs for so long, we see new additions to the cast with time, and this adds an element of novelty and surprise and keeps the viewing experience fresh while maintaining certain characters throughout for some solid dependability. For instance, Swastika Mukherjee, Monami Ghosh, and Koneenica Banerjee are only a few of the vast star-studded cast.

Speaking of dependable characters, Ek Akasher Niche holds on to certain people whom we can always rely on to bring in a sense of consistency and be the voice of reason in any situation that occurs. One such character is that of Amma’s, everyone’s grandmother in the family. The oldest member, she is the one that everyone unanimously adores and respects, and turns to in times of turmoil for warmth and sound advice — every time.

The well-written screenplay of the Bengali serial needs a mention because its top-notch quality is what holds the show together for so long and makes it what it is. The unfolding drama that presents itself, the convincing plot and dialogues, and the wonderfully executed production make the show a riveting watch.

One of the main reasons we become so attached to the show and its characters, is the brilliant job that each actor does in portraying them. Be it Saswata, Parambrata Chattopadhyay or Kamalika Banerjee, every member of the cast managed to steal our hearts in the most winsome way with their stellar performances. This is why the Zee Bangla TV show resonates with its familiarity and strikes a chord with all of us.
