Our very own Silchar girl, Debattama Saha, has made it big in the world of acting. After playing the lead in a top GEC show, the young girl is ready to make her Bollywood debut in Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada.
Fans spotted Devattama in the recently released trailer for the film and couldn’t be more proud. She is seen essaying the role of Paresh Rawal’s daughter and Kartik Aryan’s foster mother.
As soon as she shared the trailer, fans responded to her post with heartfelt comments. Her co-stars and co-workers also sent words of encouragement back. Her Shaurya Aur Anokhi co-star Karanvir Sharma wrote “Kya baat” and another friend Yakshaj Jagtap commented “There is Abu in the first show dekhne jaana padega”. Others such as Hitesh Bharadwaj, Neha Adhvik Mahajan, Sanket Chaukse and Sanjay Gagnani also posted sweet messages.
Fans also trended Debatama Saha on Twitter. The actor also posted a screenshot video of the same, posting a picture of him with his arms outstretched and looking up.
Speaking about his path to acting, Debattama said in an earlier chat with Barak Bulletin: I still remember that when students came home from his father to learn his AutoCAD (a commercial computer-aided design and drafting software application), he would often ask me to join him. I’m here. I tried my hand at it and realized it wasn’t my cup of tea. I told him you were the family engineer and I would do something else .
When she was a child, she used to participate in local song and dance competitions. “I was a staunch rebel since childhood,” she recalls. “I would go crazy if I didn’t win the first prize. It gave me confidence,” she added.
After trying his luck with some Bengali shows, Debattama moved to Mumbai.
Directed by Rohit Dhawan, Shehzada also stars Kriti Sanon, Manisha Koirala and Ronit Roy. It is Allu Arjun’s remake of his 2020 blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramulo. The film hits theaters on his February 10th.
