Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, best known as Gopi Bahu, is all set to win hearts as 'Chhathi Maiyya' with Sun Neo's new show 'Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya'. The actress for the first time will be playing the role of a Goddess onscreen. The show marks the first depiction of the revered Goddess Chhathi Maiyya on Hindi television, known widely in Bihar and UP. Devoleena, who hails from Assam, recently opened up about her Bihari connection and how she relates to the show’s concept.
She shared, “I have lived in an ONGC colony where people from every state reside, so I am familiar with Bihar and its culture. My neighbor was from Bihar, which is how I learned about the significance of orange sindoor and Thekua. Not only do I know about Thekua, but I also love relishing them. Moreover, my home in Assam also has neighbors from Bihar, so I am acquainted with their delicacies, and I even learned to make Litti Chokha from them.”
“Due to the Bihari people in my surroundings, I also know about Chhath Puja and its rituals. In the mornings, they worship the sugarcane plant. My neighbor aunty used to wake up before sunrise to observe fasts and break them the following evening. They used to make delicious Thekua during this festival, and we all used to relish them,” she added.
Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya is a heartfelt family drama that follows Vaishnavi (played by Brinda Dahal), an orphan who reveres Chhathi Maiyya (portrayed by Devoleena Bhattacharjee) as her mother. The show celebrates the triumph of good over evil, emphasizing faith and devotion to Chhathi Maiyya, who protects and guides her worshippers through life. Starring Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Sara Khan, Jaya Bhattacharya, Vrinda Dahal, and Aashish Dixit, Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya airs on Sun Neo, every Monday to Saturday at 7 PM.
