Delhi, December 19, 2024: Television actor Devoleena Bhattacharjee, best known for her role in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, has embraced parenthood. The actor and her husband Shanawaz Shaikh welcomed their baby boy on December 18 and shared the joyous news with fans on social media.
On Thursday, Devoleena took to Instagram to announce the birth of her baby boy. She shared a video, “Thrilled to announce the arrival of our bundle of joy, our baby boy on December 18.” The caption of the video read, “Hello world! Our little angel BOY is here…18/12/2024 (sic).” Her industry friends and fans congratulated the couple for their new beginnings as parents.
In June, Devoleena had reacted to pregnancy rumors, stating, “Many people have been messaging me for a long time regarding my pregnancy, creating news about it. I am sure that whenever I feel like sharing such news with you all, I will do it myself. For now, please do not bother me.” However, she announced her pregnancy later, on August 15, with a heartfelt post featuring photos from a panchamrit ritual, often observed by pregnant women.
Devoleena tied the knot with her beau Shanawaz Shaikh in December 2022 in a court wedding in Lonavala with only close friends in attendance. Despite facing backlash for her inter-faith marriage, Devoleena stood her ground and responded to trolls in an interview with E-Times in October 2023, saying, “If I had married a wealthy man, I’d have been labeled a gold-digger, and if I married someone like SRK (Shah Rukh Khan), they would have said usne kaisi ladki se shaadi kar lee (What kind of girl did he marry).”
Devoleena Bhattacharjee is best known for playing Gopi Modi in the popular television show Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. She also participated in Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss 13, which remains one of the most successful seasons in the show’s history. Additionally, she entered as a proxy for Eijaz Khan in Bigg Boss 14 and as a wildcard in Bigg Boss 15, though she did not win any of the seasons.
