Barkha Bisht debuts for hoichoi with Kamini

Kamini is also her first Bengali web series

Kolkata, July 20th, 2019: hoichoi is set to stream a horror-comedy series – Kamini, a genre first for them, which stars Barkha Bisht in her first Bengali web series. While audience has been thinking why Barkha Bisht is posting pictures from Bolpur, Dooars and other beautiful locations of Bengal, hoichoi has revealed that Barkha is in fact shooting for the show titled ‘Kamini’! This also marks a hoichoi debut for the actor.

Playing the titular character of Kamini, Barkha is returning to the Bengali entertainment industry after a long hiatus. Her character remains a mystery throughout the show. Samya and Arnab, who run a failing private detective agency, plan to decipher this. The two boys arrive in Kamini’s village to break the myth and are helped by a local girl Bijli. In the meantime, Samya’s girlfriend Sreemoyee too arrives at the village to reveal the dark past and hidden truth of Samya to everyone. Will she be able to save them before they get cursed by the legend of Kamini?!

Kamini also stars Saurav Das (known for the Charitraheen series), Apratim Chatterjee (known for Dupur Thakurpo), Trina Saha and Poulomi Das in prominent roles, to name a few.

Excited to work on her first Bengali web series, Barkha Bisht said, “Horror-Comedy is difficult to execute as it has to be scary and funny at the same time. Invoking two emotions, one after the other, from the audience is no joke! I am glad hoichoi has taken up this challenge and for me to play the lead role and to embark on this mission to deliver such a content is enthralling. Kamini will be streaming soon on hoichoi.”
