Devoleena Bhattacharjee reveals she got pregnant soon after she signed Chhathi Maiyya; says 'have stopped eating non-vegetarian food completely during pregnancy'

Devoleena Bhattacharjee announced her pregnancy on August 15th with a heartfelt post. The actress finally opens up about the divine intervention that she experienced as she conceived soon after signing for her mythological show Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya. In her recent vlog with Paras Chhabra, the actress shared how she left eating non-veg and also how the show turned out to be a huge blessing.

Devoleena talks about how she bagged Chhathi Maiyya, "I don't know whether it is co-incidence or divine intervention. I had never planned on doing a mythological show but it seems like my fans manifested it and I agreed to do the show. As there aren't any shows on Chhathi Maiyya, this is the first time they are exploring a new tale. We have mostly seen stories about Mahadev, Ganeshji and all."

Chhat Puja's origin we all know but the story behind it about Chhathi Maiyya is lesser known and only those who perform the ritual know about it. So this is the first time in Indian Television that they are exploring the story around such a unique concept. I didn't know a lot about it, but gradually I came to know about the goddess. I am learning a lot about the goddess, and even my baby is learning through the show.

I would call it a miracle, soon after the day when I signed up for the show, I got pregnant. So I contacted the makers and they were like 'The goddess has already blessed you.' I was sceptical about how would we go about the shoot but with Maiyya's blessings, things have been amazing.

Chhathi Maiyya is the goddess that protects kids, especially newborns, till lord Brahma writes his Janam Patrika after six days. The goddess protects them from bad omens and negative energies. So I felt that I was destined to be a part of the show and I am blessed. I already believe in our goddesses and this one was just a divine intervention for me.

It has been 7 months, being from a Bengali family I am a hardcore non-vegetarian, but in these 7 months, I am unable to eat it. I end up puking it. I am only eating boiled food during my pregnancy. Ever since I started playing Chhathi Maiyya, I have completely stopped eating non-vegetarian food.

Devoleena also shared that she had to skip darshan at Shefali Jariwala's place due to pregnancy. However, she made sure that she sent prasad with Paras for her. After Devoleena's place, Paras went to Madhurima Tuli and Shefali's place for Ganpati darshan. Shefali also asked about Devoleena, where Paras mentioned that she wasn't keeping well.
