The
name
Debina
Bonnerjee
is
today
synonymous
with
beauty,
fashion,
skincare,
talent
and
more.
However,
for
her
most
recent
film,
she
had
to
put
all
this
aside
as
she
played
an
ailing
character.
The
character
of
Bijoya,
starts
off
as
a
supermodel,
which
required
Debina
to
work
out
and
go
on
a
lean
protein-heavy
diet
for
a
few
weeks,
in
order
to
play
the
role
with
absolute
perfection.
However,
Bijoya
has
a
setback
that
makes
her
character
undergo
a
major
physical
change.
This
change
required
Bijoya
AKA
Debina
to
undergo
hours
and
hours
of
prosthetics.
Speaking
on
this,
Debina
says
that,
"As
an
actor,
you
are
used
to
sitting
on
the
makeup
chair
for
hours.
But
the
role
of
Bijoya
was
different,
the
end
result
made
me
tear
up,
that
is
how
emotionally
draining
it
was.
One
truly
feels
for
all
those
suffering
from
ailments
of
such
kind.
This
was
merely
make-up
and
gear,
and
my
mind
and
body
found
it
so
challenging
to
get
through
it
so
imagine
those
who
are
actually
suffering.
It
made
me
realise
that
life
is
so
fragile
and
we
must
never
take
it
for
granted."
Ever
since
the
film,
Shubho
Bijoya
was
released
on
the
OTT
platform
Big
Bang,
fans
have
had
the
most
positive
reaction
worldwide.
Ram
Kamal
Mukherjee's
ace
direction
with
the
fact
that
Gurmeet
and
Debina
have
come
together
onscreen
as
a
couple
after
11
years,
makes
Shubho
Bijoya
a
film
that
was
truly
awaited
by
one
and
all.
Gurmeet
and
Debina's
performances
have
garnered
praise
across
all
spheres
as
well.
