Devoleena lost her father at an early age. She and her family have faced pressures from society for not having a male at home. “My mother and her mom (nani) who faced the society. They are the those beautiful women in my life who taught me to choose to challenge and live. I remember my mother even being ill use to work for us. She wanted to give us all that a father does for his kid. She has been standing strong to protect us. I have seen her fighting for us. She is playing both a mother, and a father for us.”
She also shared why she feels that women play central role in the development of society. “Women society has ensured the stability, progress and long-term development. Like in a tea garden, women play a major role- from taking care of tea plants to plucking tea leaves.” Moreover, Devo also feels that her shows have been a good example to show how women are important in society. “In the coming time, I wish to act in historical woman’s biography,” she expressed.
