Kolkata’s entertainment sensation, Debchandrima Singha Roy, has successfully transitioned to Hindi television with her debut in COLORS’ fantasy thriller romance, ‘Suhagan Chudail’. The actress, widely celebrated in the Bengali television industry, has taken on the lead role of Deeya, a courageous young woman fighting to rescue her love, Moksh, played by Zayn Ibad Khan, from the clutches of an immortality-seeking chudail named Nishigandha, portrayed by Nia Sharma.

‘Suhagan Chudail’ follows Deeya’s relentless battle against Nishigandha, who seeks eternal life by marrying and sacrificing 16 husbands through the ominous ritual of ‘Solah Shringaars’. With Moksh as her 16th target, Deeya wages a war to shatter the supernatural siren’s spell and save her beloved.

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes look, Debchandrima opens up about her journey into Hindi television and the challenges she faced in breaking the language barrier for her role as Deeya. Coming from a Bengali background, mastering Hindi was a significant hurdle, but her determination mirrored that of her character. She immersed herself in linguistic training, striving for fluency to bring authenticity to her performance.

Reflecting on her experience, Debchandrima shared, “Taking on the role of Deeya in ‘Suhagan Chudail’ has been an incredible and immensely rewarding journey, but one that came with its own set of hurdles. As a Bengali actor, I dealt with the challenge of not just embodying Deeya but mastering an entirely new language – Hindi. From the moment I got this opportunity, I have been striving to master Hindi speaking. I devoured books, watched videos, rehearsed my dialogues tirelessly, and leaned heavily on the guidance of my talented co-stars. Zayn Ibad Khan and Nia Sharma were absolute rockstars in this process. Even now, I make it a point to read and re-read my lines until the words flow as naturally as if Hindi were my mother tongue. It feels wonderful to have the Hindi audience commend my fluency in the language. I hope they’ll give me as much love as my Bengali fans have over the years. This whole language learning experience just proves that when you’re passionate about something, you can make the impossible happen.”
