However, after a popular show like Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, I did not want to do something that will make my fans look down on me."

Devoleena Says…
"I feel that the character of Gopi bahu has left such a strong imprint, it is not easy for people to accept me in a role like that. Having said that, every actress wishes to do something new and experimental. So, I am hoping that I will strike the middle ground and find something interesting very soon."
She Was Never A Ghunghat Wali Bahu
Many fans might find it difficult to dissociate her from Gopi bahu, but the actress' has been sharing pictures in western outfits on her Instagram. When asked whether she is deliberately trying to break the image of a saree-clad bahu, the actress revealed that she was never a ‘ghunghat wali bahu' in real life!
“The Devoleena You See On Social Media Is The Real Me”
She says, "The Devoleena you see on social media is the real me. It's my personal zone. I was never a ghunghat wali bahu in real life. Tomorrow, even if I accept a role that's similar to Gopi, I would still wear gowns at a public event. I wonder why people make such a big issue of my modern avatar on social media."
