Team Tolly had a blast at a party to mark the success of a bouquet of Hoichoi web series like Dupur Thakurpo, Byomkesh and Japani Toy, and films like Laboratory and Shrimoti Bhoyonkori. Snapshots from the party at The Grid on May 24, where Shape of You, Havana, Despacito and Kala chashma were among the top tracks played.
Newly-weds Gaurav Chakrabarty and Ridhima Ghosh cut a cute picture on the dance floor. Gaurav’s fave dancer? “Amitabh Bachchan, because his steps are simple and easy to copy!” said the actor who watches web shows every day with Ridhima. “Web shows give you the opportunity to binge-watch; that is something I really enjoy. I finished watching Stranger Things finally. Bengali web shows have varied content and make for a far more interesting watch than Bengali television. I believe this is the future,” said Gaurav.

Mona Lisa, who plays Jhuma Boudi in Dupur Thakurpo Season 2, burned the dance floor. “I love to dance and I had a great time at the party. The best part about being in Dupur Thakurpo is that the story revolves around me,” she said.

For Asche Abar Shabor actress Anamika Chakraborty, the web series Holy Faak is home. “It’s my first web series. The show gave me the confidence to believe in myself. I am waiting for Season 2,” said Anamika, whose fave web shows are Orange Is The New Black and Cartoon.
