Bengali girl Debina Bonnerjee, shot to fame by gracefully portraying Sita Maa in NDTV Imagine's 'Ramayan'. Later she added another feather in her cap when she signed SAB TV's Chidiya Ghar, from which she has taken a diametrically opposite leap. The lovable actress has left no stone unturned to put her best foot forward on the sixth instalment of popular celebrity dance reality show 'Nach Baliye' and then in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi-5 . She talked in a charming manner when we called her. Excerpts:
Let us start from the upbringing, how was Debina as a child?
I was a horrible tomboy at home. I used to bring stray puppies at home and spill liquid detergent all over in the bathroom, so that I can to do skating. My parents were irritated because of me. Nevertheless in school, I was well behaved shy type of girl. I was good in studies and used to take part in extracurricular activities.
Tell us a bit about your family background?
I came from a decent, well educated, very traditional family of North Calcutta. We are descendant of Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee, who was the first chairman of the Indian national congress.
Do you always wanted to become an actor?
I've became an actress now but never in my wildest nightmare had I thought I'd get the chance to join glamour world. But as I grew up my career preferences changed every year. Vocally I wanted to become an IAS officer.
As a kid who was the biggest influence on you, who encouraged you to pursue a career in showbiz?
I got inspiration from Sushmita Sen. When she had won Miss Universe in 1994, her pictures came in all newspapers and magazines. That's when the idea was born, that I wanted to be miss universe. I was too fascinated. I wanted to be like her but was too young to express myself.
Go on..
When I was in class 9th I told my parents that I wanted to became an actress. They were very supportive and helped me take part in a beauty contest in Kolkata. After that I gradually started getting offers for films and TV shows. I was too young at that time, so I did a few Bengali tele-films. I came to Mumbai after completing my graduation. Then I went to Bhavan's College for a diploma course in public relations. Soon after completing my graduation from there, I auditioned for Sagar productions Ramayan. Luckily I got selected.
What is the most devastating part of being an actress?
We can't be with family in need. My grandma passed away and I couldn’t be there on time to be with her. It was too late.
If you would play any other character in any other serial, what would it be?
I definitely want to play Parvati Bhabhi's character of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. It was an iconic show, where Sakshi Tanwar beautifully portrayed different shades of women in a single character.
What is the most important lesson you have learnt in your journey so far?
We live our life once and we should not forget our family while running after money.
Even after 3 years of marriage you are head over heel in love with Gurmeet (Choudhary). What is it that makes you two click?
We are poles apart, yet so alike. Our love and admiration for each other is increasing day by day. With every passing year, we rediscover our fondness and admiration for each other. I think that’s makes us click.
Fans often accused you because of your publically displayed affection with Gurmeet. Do you like say anything?
Are you serious? Do they really assume so? I think we are reserved and controlled. Since we are a couple, so in any public event or party or any other function we walk hand in hand. And I don't see anything wrong in doing so. You will never see us getting cosy or kissing in public.
How would you describe your personal sense of style?
I would say my personal style is simple, elegant and sophisticated in a casual way
Who is your fashion icon?
When I was a kid I was fascinated with Sushmita Sen. But now I don't have any particular fashion icon
What is the one fashion item in your wardrobe you can’t do without?
I have an addiction to shoes; you can say I'm a shoe-aholic. If you ask me how many pairs of shoes do I have? My answer would be, I count by full closets instead.
