Debchandrima Singha Roy shares how 'Fitoor' mirrors many girls' silent journeys
Mumbai, July 6
Actress Debchandrima Singha Roy has opened up about her upcoming show 'Fitoor,' saying it reflects the silent emotional journeys many young girls experience.
In a statement, she shared, "This promo touched my heart because it's a journey that so many girls silently go through. Stepping into a co-ed college after studying in a girls' school can be overwhelming, especially for girls. I hope every young girl who watches this feels seen and understands that it's okay to be nervous. With time and self-belief, every new beginning becomes a beautiful chapter."
The makers shared the new promo of the show on Instagram and wrote, "Ek ki zindagi mein hai saadgi, toh doosra hai besabar. Kya hoga jab takraayegi yeh do alag duniya?." The promo captures the apprehension, anxiety, and uncertainty many girls experience when transitioning from the comfort of an all-girls school to the unfamiliar environment of a co-educational college.
The upcoming show 'Fitoor' highlights these unspoken emotions while encouraging young women to embrace change with confidence and believe in themselves. The show stars Ishaan Dhawan as a fearless free-spirited rebel and Debchandrima Singha Roy as a sheltered girl from Prayagraj. Produced by Ved Raj's Story Square Productions, it is slated to premiere in late 2026 on Star Plus and JioHotstar
The show features Ishaan as the parallel lead and male protagonist, Jeet, while Debchandrima plays the female lead, Saumya. Eindraneel Bhattacharya and Ishani Banerjee are also part of the confirmed cast.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), the story follows Saumya, a reclusive young woman searching for her lost identity. She struggles with anxiety as she steps into a co-educational college environment to pursue her master's degree, navigating a new phase of life filled with uncertainty and self-discovery.

Honestly, as a guy, I never thought about this perspective. It's good that they're showing that even college can be intimidating for girls coming from sheltered backgrounds. But they better not make it too preachy. Hoping the story doesn't just focus on romance but also her personal growth. 🤔
Ek baat toh sahi hai - transition from school to college is always tough. I went to a co-ed school but even then first year felt overwhelming. The way they've shown Saumya nervous, that's exactly how many of us feel. Also, Prayagraj setting is a nice change from the usual Mumbai/Delhi shows! 👌
I appreciate the intention, but isn't this a bit outdated? In 2026, girls are much more confident and exposed to mixed environments through social media etc. Feels like they're stereotyping a certain type of 'sheltered' girl. Would have loved to see a more nuanced take. Still, will give it a chance for the fresh cast.
Mera bhi wohi experience tha! 😢 Prayagraj girl here, and adjusting to Delhi University was a nightmare initially. Seeing this promo made me emotional. Debchandrima and Ishaan look like a good pair. Ek baar dekhna to banta hai, especially since it's on Star Plus - hope they don't drag it unnecessarily.
