Popular TV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, known for her role as Gopi Bahu in ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’, is all set to embrace motherhood. Devoleena, who had a court marriage with her boyfriend Shahnawaj, recently shared the joyful news of her pregnancy with fans on social media on August 15.
In a candid conversation on Paras Chhabra’s podcast, Devoleena revealed some significant life changes she has experienced since she got pregnant, including giving up non-vegetarian food—something she never expected.
Miracle Pregnancy After Signing ‘Chhathi Maiyya’
During the podcast, Devoleena talked about her role in the mythological show ‘Chhathi Maiyya’, which she feels was a life-changing project. The actress admitted that before signing the show, she never thought about doing a mythological series. However, she was drawn to the unique concept of Chhathi Maiyya, as there had never been a TV show focusing on this specific deity.
Devoleena shared that the day she signed the show, she received some unexpected news—she was pregnant! The actress referred to this as a “miracle”, and she believes that Chhathi Maiyya has blessed her with this beautiful gift. When she informed the show’s makers about her pregnancy, they were extremely supportive, which made the journey smoother for her.
Devoleena Bhattacharjee’s Shift to Vegetarian Food During Pregnancy
A significant change in Devoleena’s life has been her diet. Coming from a Bengali family, the actress has always been fond of non-vegetarian food. However, since the last seven months of her pregnancy, she has completely stopped eating meat.
“It has been 7 months now, and I can’t eat non-veg at all,” Devoleena explained. She even tried eating meat once, but it made her feel nauseous, causing her to vomit. Since then, she has stuck to a diet of boiled and simple foods, which she believes aligns with the blessings of Chhathi Maiyya. The change started when she began fasting for the deity, and from that point, she gave up non-vegetarian food entirely.
