The story revolves around a young madrasa student from a lower-middle-class family struggling with life. Despite hidden family limitations, she tries to build her identity in gaming and live streaming. However, when her secret identity is revealed to her family, various complications begin.

Director Miraj Hossain said this short-format storytelling style will create new possibilities in Bangladesh’s entertainment industry. He believes it is timely to match changing audience habits.

Sadia Ayman said working in such short episodes was a new experience for her and she is excited about the project.

The series is produced by Mayer Doa Studios. Producer Nazim Farhan Chowdhury said vertical storytelling for mobile audiences is now a demand of the time and this project marks the beginning of a new storytelling journey.

Co-producer and creator Pulok Anil said although there were challenges in working in a new format, the entire team took them positively.
