When Devoleena spoke about balancing work and pregnancy

Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee had opened up about how she is balancing her career while navigating life as a mom-to-be. She shared that she often needs assistance. She shared, "Even though I'm pregnant, I've continued shooting so that my audience can keep watching me on screen, and I can continue entertaining them. However, I have to be very careful on set, especially when climbing stairs."

"I often need assistance because while working, it's equally important to take care of myself."

The actress also discussed the challenges of wearing the show's elaborate costumes, particularly the heavy jewellery.

"As I play Goddess Chhathi Maiyya in this Sun Neo show, I have to wear heavy jewellery, especially the necklace and crown, which can feel extremely burdensome when worn together. But it's a new experience, and there's no harm in exploring something different."
