‘Acting is one of the best parts of my life’
MULTI-TALENTED STAR DEBATTAMA SAHA TALKS ABOUT HER REMARKABLE RISE AND FUTURE PLANS
ONE of this year’s biggest success stories has been the rise of talented actress Debattama Saha.
Her star-making turn in hit TV drama Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani made such an impact that it has got her a huge following and fans flooding social media with demands for a second season. The accomplished singer has also just released her brilliant song Jo Tera Howega,
showing there likely isn’t a frontline film or TV actress with a voice as stunning as hers. The hot-right-now star has multiple avenues open to her, and there is excitement about what she will do next.
After the most fan requests this year for an interview with her, Eastern Eye caught up with Debattama to discuss her Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani
success, future hopes, inspirations, biggest hero and interesting dream role.
How do you look back on your acting journey and the work you have done?
It has been difficult, but it has been worth it. Whatever struggle I have been through is quite similar to Anokhi’s journey, where she left her home town and had to fight for her dreams, and convince everyone, including her father.
What’s the biggest lesson this journey has taught you?
It is to never give up. You know, at times I was tired and felt that I should give up, including just before getting this show. But then ultimately something happened.
I had even asked my mom to book my tickets home, but I still went for auditions and somewhere there was this hope inside me. I didn’t actually want to give up, even though I was thinking about it. And I ultimately didn’t. I just kept on doing what I wanted to and now I am finally going ahead.
