Biography
Devoleena was born on 22 August 1985 in Sivasagar, Assam, India into an Assamese family. She lost her father during her childhood. She lives in Mumbai with her mother and her younger brother. She completed her schooling from GBME School, Sivasagar, Assam and did her graduation in Commerce (Accountancy Honours).
Career
Bhattacharjee was first noticed when she auditioned for the dance reality series Dance India Dance 2. Her acting debut was in NDTV Imagine's Sawaare Sabke Sapne Preeto as Bani.
In June 2012, Bhattacharjee was cast overnight as the female lead Gopi Modi in Star Plus's drama Saath Nibhaana Saathiya after Giaa Manek, who previously played the role, was ousted from the series. In 2014 and again in 2016, she contemplated on quitting the show due to the frequent time leaps. Nevertheless, she continued to be a part of the show and in June 2017, Devoleena completed five successful years of playing the protagonist. In the same month, she underwent a backbone surgery for an injury that took place on the sets of the show in 2013. The show ended on 23 July 2017 after doing well for seven years.
There were speculations about her participating in the upcoming Colors TV reality show Bigg Boss Season 11. However, she has denied these rumours. During a press interview she said,
“No, I am not doing it. I don't know where these rumours have come from. I will be on a break after Saathiya as I need rest.”
Controversies
In January 2015, Devoleena got into a cat fight with actress Loveleen Kaur Sasan who plays the role of Paridhi in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. She was said to be insecure with Loveleen's entrance in the show who had replaced her good friend Rucha Hasabnis, whose character Rashi had died.
In January 2016, media reports alleged that the sets of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya were haunted and Devoleena confirmed the same. She stated in a press interview that the paranormal activities occurring on the sets had a negative influence on the cast and crew. In the same month, Devoleena landed in another controversy with Vishal Singh, an actor from the same show who plays the role of Jigar. The actors had an infamous showdown over her misbehaviour with senior actress Vandana Vithlani, who plays the role of Urmila in the show. However, they settled their differences after a few months.
In October 2016, Devoleena accused actress Utkarsha Naik, who played the role of Pramila in the same show of kidnapping her dog 'Jugnu' from the sets. She could not find her pet anywhere and for that reason she filed a complaint against her to PETA. She said,
“Yes, I am filing a complaint against Utkarsha, I think she is the one who is behind missing of Jugnu. Utkarsha was the one who took Jugnu in her car. And she was very obsessive about him. I am confident that it's Utkarsha who has done this thing. I am going to file a complaint against her in PETA.”
