Actress Debchandrima Singha Roy is drawing plenty of attention these days for her new show, Fitoor. The moment its promo dropped, viewers began buzzing about the story, and the actress herself has now opened up about the show and the character she is playing, explaining why this particular project feels different from anything she has done before.
According to Debchandrima, Fitoor is far more than just another acting assignment for her. She describes it as a show that captures the unspoken emotions of many girls today, feelings that often go unheard in everyday life. Watching the promo herself left her emotional, because the story mirrored experiences she recognised as true to life. In her words, this isn't the story of just one girl. It represents the journey of thousands, even lakhs, of girls who quietly battle fear, nervousness and low confidence while trying to begin a new chapter in life. This, she says, is exactly why girls of every age are likely to see a piece of themselves in the story, and why the promo has already sparked so much conversation on social media since it went online.
The leap from an all-girls school to a co-ed college
Explaining the heart of the show, Debchandrima said that when a girl who has studied only in an all-girls school suddenly steps into a co-ed college, the shift is anything but simple. Sharing classrooms with boys, adjusting to an unfamiliar environment and meeting new faces all combine to create a strange sense of hesitation and nervousness. She wants every girl who watches the show to realise she is not alone in feeling this way. Nervousness at the start is completely normal, she said, but with time and growing confidence, every new beginning can turn into a beautiful story of its own.
StarPlus shares a glimpse of the story on Instagram
The show's broadcaster StarPlus also shared the new promo on its Instagram handle, offering an interesting peek into the plot. According to it, one character in the story leads a simple, unassuming life, while the other is restless and carefree by nature. The two come from entirely different mindsets and backgrounds. The real intrigue of the show begins when these two contrasting worlds collide, and where that collision leads becomes the central hook of the story. The makers say Fitoor will not be limited to romance or everyday drama alone. It aims to bring out the things young people often feel deeply but rarely find the words to say out loud, giving the show its emotional core.
What roles will Ishaan Dhawan and Debchandrima Singha Roy play
Actor Ishaan Dhawan will appear in the lead role in the show. His character is that of a fearless, free-spirited young man who lives life entirely on his own terms and by his own rules. Debchandrima Singha Roy, on the other hand, plays Soumya, a simple, straightforward girl in the show. Soumya is on a journey to reclaim her lost identity and rebuild her confidence. The turning point in the story arrives when she takes admission in a co-ed college to pursue her further studies, a master's degree. From that point on, an entirely new and challenging world opens up in front of her, one that she learns to face by drawing on her own growing confidence.
The promo is already winning over viewers
With the promo already earning a strong response on social media, anticipation for Fitoor keeps building among viewers. Audiences are now waiting eagerly to see how the story of Soumya and Ishaan's character unfolds when the show finally airs on television, and how their two very different worlds eventually come together.
