Plot

Gungun, a sophisticated upper-class girl, crosses paths with Soujanyo, a scholar who belongs to a middle-class joint family, and everything changes. Apart from a beautiful love story, ‘Khorkuto’ narrates the tale of a joint family, its roots and beliefs. After a few meetings with Soujanyo, Gungun's father decides to marry Gungun off with Soujanyo to teach her morals and ethics. Although Gungun is a little ill-mannered, she is very good at heart and gets deserved love from Soujanyo' s family. She becomes a part of the family and stands by them through all their difficulties.[4][5]
