Rawkto Rawhoshyo

Swarnaja is a hard-working and good-natured radio jockey in Kolkata, who has extremely rare Rh-null blood, often known as 'golden blood'. She has been brought up by her grandmother after her mother's suicide. The duo live with their domestic help and her son Babai, who has a sibling-like bond with Swarnaja. At a yoga session she attends on family physician Dr Burman's advice, Swarnaja meets Shammo Sengupta, who claims to be heir to a gemstone business. The two grow close and Swarnaja develops feelings for him. However, she soon discovers that Shammo is actually married and had kept this fact from her, making her end the relationship. Some time later, Swarnaja is surprised to get a call from Shammo's wife, Kheya, who implores her for a meeting. As Swarnaja and Babai go to meet her at a coffee shop, they learn that Kheya needs a wheelchair after fracturing her pelvis in an accident. Kheya reveals that she is not averse to Swarnaja and Shammo's relationship. The two women eventually become close, if unusual, friends, though Swarnaja maintains her distance from Shammo. One day, knowing that she can never become a mother, Kheya attempts suicide. Swarnaja decides to help her friend by choosing to carry the couple's baby as a surrogate mother, though her grandmother and Dr Burman strongly advise against it. She becomes very attached to the newborn, whom she dubs 'Ghenturam'.
