Tota, who has Tollywood and Bollywood films in his kitty, made his television comeback with ‘Sreemoyee’. Prior to this, he was seen playing the titular role in ‘Taranath Tantrik’. After taking a brief break from TV, Tota gave a nod to Leena Ganguly for 'Sreemoyee'. And the show is a huge hit. He is playing Rohit Sen’s role in the popular show which has been remade in Hindi as Anupamaa (starring Rupali Ganguly in the titular role) and 5 other languages. Tota as Rohit Sen is every bit convincing. Well, Rohit not only saved Sreemoyee and gave her new hope in life, his chemistry with actress Indrani Halder, spiced up the storyline as well. Bengali viewers, especially female ones, fell in love with Rohit's charisma. (Photo: Facebook)

Debashree, who once ruled the silver screen, stayed away from the limelight for more than 10 years. She recently made her comeback with television show 'Sarbojaya' which started tasting success from its very beginning. Trolls on social media, ageist comments, nothing could stop the veteran actress who proved her acting talent yet again. Her show ‘Sarbojaya’ started casting a spell on the TRP charts from the first week.

After giving Bengali TV a miss, Ushasie made a comeback to the small screen with daily soap 'Sreemoyee'. Well, the rest is a history both for the viewers who simply love to hate June aunty and Sreemoyee whose life got ruined because of her (June)! With her never-ending plots, June single-handedly ruined Sreemoyee’s life. And with her typical mannerism and patent dialogue ‘Mahsi’ (in a typical tone), Ushasie brought life into June’s character. Prior to this Bengali television hardly seen any antagonist enjoying such massive popularity. Ushasie chose to do a television show after a brief break. In the meanwhile, she was busy with films and other projects. (Photo: Facebook)
