Significance

Generally storylines of Indian television serials deal with the socio-economic conditions of the country - violence towards women and other social evils. But Tumi Asbe Bole is absolutely a different serial, something out of the Sasu-Bahu melodrama.

Plot

With its name from the famous song Tumi Asbe Bole by Nachiketa Chakraborty, Tumi Asbe Bole is a poignant story of a young widow marrying her college senior for the sake of her little daughter.The show also speaks about the basic values of life - love, sacrifice and adjustment.
The soap is about Nandini and Rahul - two young fellows living in Kolkata. Rahul who is unmarried, is a very honest and humble man, though coming from a rich family, he is totally different from the others of his family. He loves his step-mother Rupanjana Debroy, who had once, for her lust of riches, blackmailed Rahul's father into marrying her. On the other hand, Nandini is married and has a child, Jhumjhumi. She is a doting mother and a very responsible woman.
Rahul is deeply in love with Nandini. They were in college together. Rahul had confessed his love to Nandini back then. But Nandini who had always admired Rahul as a senior had never expected a proposal from him. She turned down his love and moved on with her life. Being a conservative girl she chose to marry the man her family suited for her. In the meantime eight years have passed. Rahul has become a businessman and is successful in his professional life. Nandini, on the other hand, has given birth to Jhumjhumi.
In the meantime, Rahul's sister, Riya falls in love with Nandini's brother Abhinandan. When Rahul and his family approach Abhinandan's family for alliance, he meets Nandini again. This unlocks a treasure trove of memories for both as they have not remained in touch over the years. Both feel a little embarrassed by the encounter.
But as fate would have it, Nandini's husband dies in a car accident and Rahul becomes a part of Nandini's and her daughter's life. Though reluctant at first, Nandini marries Rahul for her daughter. But eventually she falls in love with Rahul too and discovers the secret of the Debroy family - how terrible Rupanjana can be and how she has come to be the head of the Debroy family, pretending to be a good mother. Nandini discovers the true character of Rupanjana - a lady, who would not hesitate to remove even her own children from her life, in order to achieve her dreams. Nandini realises that Rupanjana is actually using Rahul for her own sake and so she vows to save Rahul and Jhumjhumi from Rupanjana.
Treading the footsteps of ‘Chalo Paltai’, ‘Tumi Asbe Bole’ manifests an evolved human relationship crossing all realms of selfless love. In today's world when everything is measured in terms of profit and loss, including love, Rahul's love for Nandini has never demanded anything in return. Even in a marriage, usually women are most accepting of the different aspects of their husband's life including step children. Men however are not that accepting towards their wives. But Rahul has wholeheartedly accepted Nandini and her child Jhumjhumi and he promised Jhumjhumi to be a loving father when she asked him - ami tomake baba bolt pari?. Not only that, he has gone one step farther in making Jhumjhumi his most important priority. Even his relationship with Nandini follows from his relationship with Jhumjhumi. Rahul redefines the connotation of love, whose journey of being a husband starts with being a great dad first. The show ended with Rahul and Nandini reuniting with each other.
