Series overview

Phagun Bou dealt with the whimsical nature of the relationship that develops between prestigious doctor, Dr. Ayandeep Ghosh, (nicknamed Roddur) and MA Law student and aspiring singer Mohul Bose, two strangers destined to be together for life. The series followed the blossoming love between the two after many ups and downs in their relationship, where Mohul was initially inclined towards Ayandeep's cousin, popular and arrogant singer Anurup despite her parents' Chandrajit and Amrapali's objections. However, their relationship takes a survival challenge when Chandrajit dies, Mohul, Amrapali and her brother Munna learn about Chandrajit's first wife and their daughter Bibi, and Ayandeep is coincidentally engaged to her cousin Mou. When Mohul is forced to marry Ayandeep after Mou runs away from the wedding, their relationship takes a huge turning point. Mohul doesn't accept him, Mou's parents become jealous about the marriage, Ayandeep's foster mother and aunt Mayurakshi doesn't accept Mohul because she apparently suffers from Chandrajit's rejection, and Anurup creates a misunderstanding that Mohul is having an extra-marital affair with him. However, Mohul gradually accepts Ayandeep and Anurup and Mayurakshi's misunderstandings are cleared. Ayandeep also discovers another secret that he is adopted and is the son of his uncle Anirudda, a struggling actor who kept a secret from his family that he married Malobika, a classic dancer and former lawyer and had a son named Babi who was presumed dead years ago. This causes a emotional time for him and the family even after they welcome Malobika into the family. Later, Mayurakshi becomes jealous of his relationship with Malobika.
