Controversies

• In January 2015, Devoleena landed into controversy for her catfight with the television actress, Loveleen Kaur Sasan, who played the role of ‘Paridhi’ in the TV serial “Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.” Reportedly, Devoleena was insecure with Loveleen’s entrance in the show.

• In 2016, a few media reports claimed that there were paranormal activities occurring on the sets of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya and Devoleena confirmed the same. She said in a press interview that the sets of the show were haunted and had a negative influence on the cast and crew.

• In the same year, she attracted controversy for her feud with the television actor, Vishal Singh, who played the role of ‘Jigar Modi’ in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. Reportedly, Bhattacharjee was rehearsing her script with the director and Vishal and Vandana Vithlani (television actress), who were seated close to the actress, were cracking jokes and giggling, which disturbed her. She lost her cool and shouted at Vandana, which didn’t go well with Vishal and he told her not to shout at a senior actor. This small issue snowballed into a heated argument and they both started hurling abuses at each other. However, they settled their differences after a few months.

• In October 2016, Devoleena accused Utkarsha Naik, who played the role of ‘Pramila’ in ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya,’ of kidnapping her dog ‘Jugnu’ from the sets of the show. She even filed a complaint against her to PETA. Devoleena said,
  

  Yes, I am filing a complaint against Utkarsha, I think she is the one who is behind missing of Jugnu. Utkarsha was the one who took Jugnu in her car. And she was very obsessive about him. I am confident that it’s Utkarsha who has done this thing. I am going to file a complaint against her in PETA.”
