MUMBAI: West Bengal is a place that is very dear to the heart of all Indians. It houses big names across various verticals such as politics, sports, entertainment, music, etc. Though many might never have been to this place, the state would undoubtedly strike you as someplace you’ve known for a long time. The truth is that we’ve all been to this place through the works of Rabindranath Tagore, ace filmmaker Satyajit Ray, ardent cricketer Sourav Ganguly and our dearest, actor Uttam Kumar a.k.a Uttam Da as we’ve all known him. Adding to this delightful list of fine artists is the name of renowned Indian Storyteller, Writer, Producer, and Director Leena Gangopadhyay!

Leena Di is primarily associated with the Tollywood Entertainment Industry. She currently serves as the Chairperson of the West Bengal Commission for Women as well. She is the kind of writer all of us want and deserves. Breaking stereotypes from the very beginning with her stories, she has written stories that are extremely progressive and real in nature. Her style of storytelling is what today’s day and age need. Being in the second decade of the 21st century, we are in need of the most progressive author for people to be able to resonate with their thought-provoking storytelling and that is exactly what Leena Di has offered us. Her stories are being adored all over and we eagerly look forward to her subsequent contributions.

Her remarkable work has completely revolutionized the Bengali Television Industry, going on to further bring about the revolution in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu television as well. Her works in Bengali have been remade in various other languages. Speaking of Hindi television specifically, ‘Star Plus’ houses a few of her greatly penned stories such as the hit show Anupamaa, Imlie, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya 2, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin and is now gearing up to add another jewel i.e. ‘Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey’ to this already lovely list of shows which we absolutely cannot wait for. She has completely transformed the face of Indian daily soaps and forced people to look at the world through her neoteric vision, entailing the need for a drastic change in the way we function. Her revolutionary shows are exactly what producer Rajesh Ram Singh appreciates about her.

It is extremely big for producer Rajesh Ram Singh to take the time out to appreciate our very own Leena Di where he said, “Leena Di and her Stories have always broken the stereotypes and have brought out something new. She believes in women who are not daunted by the most difficult of odds. This is why we are excited in partnering with one of India's iconic content-maker Leena Gangopadhyay. Leena Di’s quintessential understanding of audience likes & dislikes is the need of the hour. Her true identity lies in the craft she brings to the fore with back-to-back hit shows. She is the only storyteller whose stories have a connection with audiences across various markets of the country. Her stories have a soul and her personality has gumption and with great pleasure/happiness, we announce our association with her for the upcoming show Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Se!”

The new show ‘Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey’, penned by her is all set to launch and given the history of her stories, this one is also a sure-shot blockbuster. We can keep going on and on about the writer and it won’t be enough so to end it with, we truly hope and pray for Leena Gangopadhyay to keep creating magic through her pen and entertaining us through and through.

Gear up to watch this lovely story on Star Plus’ upcoming show, ‘Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey'!
