Maa...Tomay Chara Ghum Ashena, also called Maa (Bengali: মা...তোমায় ছাড়া ঘুম আসেনা; transl. Mother), is a Bengali television serial broadcast on Star Jalsha. It was produced by Shree Venkatesh Films. The show narrates the bond between mother and daughter. It is one of the longest running Bengali television soap opera and Star Jalsha's longest-ran serial.

Premise

When Pari Mukherjee is three years old, she is kidnapped, leading to Pratima Mukherjee, her mother, being separated from her daughter. For years, Pari is raised as a thief under the name Jhilik by her kidnapper. Eventually, Jhilik and Pratima meet again after many years, but is separated again due to misunderstandings. Jhilik later gets adopted by Pratima Roy Chowdary, a blind billionaire. Thanks to her, they recognise each other later. Retroactive continuity reveals that Pratima Roy Chowdary kidnapped Pari for revenge to Pratima Mukherjee and had replaced Jhilik with Diya Roy Chaterjee, a patient in her hospital.
