Devoleena Bhattacharjee talks about her Instagram photos: I was never a ghunghat wali bahu in real life
During an interaction with a leading daily, Devoleena Bhattacharjee spoke at length about her social media photos and breaking her image as Gopi Bahu.
Devoleena Bhattacharjee became a household name with her stint as Gopi Bahu on Star Plus' show Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. The actor played the role from June 2012 – July 2017 until the show off the air. Even after the show ended, Devoleena has been addressed as Gopi Bahu and people were surprised to see her in a bikini avatar when she shared her photos on her Instagram page. The actor, during an interaction with The Times of India, spoke about not taking any efforts to break her Gopi Bahu image.
She stated, "There has been no conscious effort to break the image of Gopi bahu, but now, I am happy that if 10 people in a crowd call me Gopi, the other five would address me as Devoleena. It often happens that when you play a character for many years, people forget that there is a real person behind the character." She was also asked if she is scared that people might forget her. To which she replied, "Yes, it is true that if you are not visible on the screen, you may easily get lost in this big world. However, after a popular show like Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, I did not want to do something that will make my fans look down on me."
Devoleena further spoke about people making a big fuss after seeing her in a modern avatar. The actor added, "The Devoleena you see on social media is the real me. It’s my personal zone. I was never a ghunghat wali bahu in real life. Tomorrow, even if I accept a role that’s similar to Gopi, I would still wear gowns at a public event. I wonder why people make such a big issue of my modern avatar on social media."
