Saath Nibhaana Saathiya

Bodhuboron is a Bengali language television serial which began airing on Star Jalsha from 19 August 2013. The series starred Gourab Chatterjee and Pramita Chakraborty in lead roles. It was the remake of the Hindi popular show Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. ^[1]

Plot

The story revolves around a simple innocent orphaned village girl named Konok (Pramita). She does all the household work yet her aunt sikha and cousin Jhilmil cannot tolerate her and torture her daily (Sreetama). She is illiterate and they do not allow her to take any education. One day Indira Chowdhury (Anjana Basu) comes to their home with his son Satyaki (Gourab Chatterjee) for marriage of Jhilmil with Satyaki who already has an affair with Teesta. But instead of Jhilmil she likes Konok and decides to make the latter her daughter-in-law, going against the wishes of her son.

Later both Konok and Jhilmil are married to Satyaki and Avro (Satyaki's cousin) respectively. Jhilmil is jealous of Konok as she failed to become elder daughter-in-law of Chowdhury mansion which may deprive her of inheriting the property of the Chowdhury family. She, along with the evil plans of her mother Sikha creates problems in Konok's life and tries to kill her. With all of these troubles on her shoulder, Konok completes all of her duties & wins all other family member's hearts. Later Satyaki also coming out from his past, falls in love with Konok and accepts her as his wife. In all the troubles Indira supports her as her own daughter making an inherent bond between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Taking the opportunity of brother's death Teesta comes again in Satyaki and Konok's married life to make Konok's life hell. She pretends as mentally unstable and innocent Konok takes her in Chowdhury mansion going against everyone's decision. Teesta now makes problems to kick Konok out of the house and to bring back Satyaki again in her life.

The show ends with Jhilmil' s death where Avro marries another woman who cares for the twin daughters of Avro and Jhilmil. Konok gets pregnant and has a baby boy. The last scene shows that 25 years later Konok is welcoming her adult son and daughter-in-law.
