'Nayika': Preview

Nayika is the tale of Riya, an aspiring actress, played by newcomer Rupsha. Riya and her mother (Kalyani Roy) live on the fringes of Kolkata. They spend much of their time glued to the television, watching movies, music and reality shows. This encourages Riya to dream of a movie career.

Her celluloid dream takes her to an acting school in Kolkata headed by Sonali Roy (Indrani Halder), a former model and actress. During this time, Riya meets Rohit (Aarav) and the two become friends.

Soon Riya enters the world of cinema and is introduced to life in the metro. Rohit helps her build contacts with people from the films. But nothing comes easy.

Riya's morality is soon challenged by the big, bad world of movies. Her hostel friend Jini (Ishita) is well-acquainted with the dark side of the industry, and she tries to familiarise Riya with the same. But Riya, unlike Jini, is unwilling to accept the immoralities of the movie world.

Around this time, miscommunication with Rohit also adds to the drama in her life. But with support from Sonali and others, Riya manages to overcome the challenges and achieve her dream.
