“Khanikta Premer Mato is a deeply personal journey for me, as the story kept revealing new emotional layers the deeper I went into it,” said director Mr. Rahool Mukherjee. “Working with the entire cast, our committed crew and the creative team at Platform 8 led by Ms. Priyanka Bardia made the process truly enchanting, rooted in collaboration, trust and a shared love for honest storytelling.”
“Ujaan is a character many of us can relate to—someone who loves deeply but struggles with understanding and expression. Khanikta Premer Mato is not just a love story; it’s about timing, growth and emotional maturity. Portraying Ujaan allowed me to explore the fragility of modern relationships and I believe audiences will see a reflection of themselves in him,” said Mr. Rahul Dev Bose.
“Mohona is independent, expressive and unafraid to question what she truly wants from love. This story speaks about choosing clarity over comfort, which is very relevant today. Khanikta Premer Mato handles romance with warmth and honesty and I am excited for viewers to experience this journey with us on Platform 8,” said Ms. Megha Chowdhury.
“Shreya is warm, emotionally intuitive and quietly strong—someone who heals while she loves. Playing her was about celebrating empathy, friendship and the courage to step in when love needs a second chance. Khanikta Premer Mato captures the quiet, real emotions of modern relationships and that honesty is what makes the story so special,” said Ms. Avery Singha Roy.
“Priyam is thoughtful, grounded and emotionally mature—someone who believes love grows through patience and understanding. Portraying him was about exploring quiet strength and the beauty of choosing empathy over ego. Khanikta Premer Mato speaks about the small, often overlooked moments that shape relationships, making it a deeply relatable and emotionally resonant story,” said Mr. Durbar Sharma.
The story is penned by Sadeep Bhattacharya, with the screenplay written by Aritra Sengupta and Sayantan Dhara, bringing freshness and emotional depth relatable to the narrative.
The series follows Ujaan and Mohona, two polar opposites who fall in love but begin to question their compatibility during a transformative trip to Darjeeling. As emotional differences surface, their relationship slowly unravels, leading to a painful separation. In the aftermath, an unexpected romance blossoms between Ujaan’s elder cousin Priyam and Mohona’s best friend and flat mate Shreya. In a gentle role reversal, the new couple attempts to mend broken hearts by reuniting Ujaan and Mohona. Blending humor, heartbreak and healing, the story explores whether love is about chasing perfection—or learning to grow through understanding and adjustment.
Blending humor, heartbreak, healing and music that linger long after, Khanikta Premer Mato promises to resonate with audiences who believe that even fleeting love can leave a lasting impact.
