Amid the rumours of ending Mithai, lead actress Soumitrisha is likely to play Ma Durga in Mahishasurmardini

Since the beginning of 2021, Soumitrisha Kundu and Adrit Roy’s daily romcom Mithai has ruled the weekly television ratings for months. However, The Zee Bangla show has started faltering in the past few months. As a result, speculations are in full swing that makers and the channel may replace Mithai with a new show by the end of August. Meanwhile, the new promo in which Mithai is shot by the villain of the show has fanned the rumour of ending the serial. While we are still unsure if Mithai is going to come to an end, the actress Soumitrisha is likely to be seen as this year’s Ma Durga in Zee Bangla’s Mahishasuramardini. 

In an interview with Anandabazar, the maker of the serial Rajendra Prasad Das said that the rumour was incepted from the promo that shows an injured Mithai – the heroine. He further added that the number of Mithai fans is constantly rising. “After Mithai is shot, these fans have become insecure with the show. “What will happen if she succumbs to her injury? Will the serial end if she dies? Such questions are encouraging the rumour mills. In reality, we will have to wait and watch what happens to Mithai,” said the maker. 

The weekly rating chart however has been suggesting that despite red herrings, Mithai is failing to impress the audience. In fact, many of the Mithai Actors have joined the cast of a new serial, Pilu. According to Rajendra Prasad, people expect Mithai to stay at the number one position every week and that is an unrealistic demand. “If some other serial does well, it will go to the top,” he said.   

Meanwhile, Soumitrisha will likely be seen as Ma Durga. While there is no confirmation yet, it is touted that Rubel will be seen as Lord Shib in the show.
