Sumona Chakravarti Actress Sumona Chakravarti stars in new television show Shonar Bengal
Kolkata/IBNS: Actress Sumona Chakravarti, who is also known for her featuring in television comedy programme The Kapil Sharma Show (earlier Comedy Nights with Kapil), is starring in Zee Zest's new travel show, Shonar Bengal.
Chakravarti, who plays the host, sets out to explore the state of West Bengal and discovers its lesser-known stories and experiences.
Throughout the show, she also offers viewers a glimpse into the diverse cultural destinations across literature, art, music, and community, via a 10-part travelogue.
Excited to be part of this cultural adventure, Chakravarti says, "I was brought up in Lucknow & Mumbai. With Zee Zest’s Shonar Bengal, it gave me a first-hand experience to discover my roots from a different lens. I got a chance to explore the state and unravel the stories that have been a part of my childhood, but from a distance. While this show, gave me a chance to get up close & personal and experience them for the first time.
"Being able to interact with people from diverse cultural backgrounds has been surreal and a great learning experience for me. The magnificent beauty of Bengal never fails to surprise me. I feel extremely honoured to be a part of the show and hope that with Zee Zest, we are able to yet again UNLIMIT experiences for the viewers."
