Describe yourself: I am a very emotional person and very attached to my closed ones. I cry at times getting emotional which I think later on I shouldn’t have cried for. I am a straight minded person so I talk things directly and don’t think before speaking as I can’t twist my talks and this do hurt people sometimes. I am even strong headed so I know what to do and what is good for me. I am an independent person so I take decisions which I think is suitable for me and I am not dependent on others to make me happy or sad. I very well know what should I do which will make me happy in my life. At the same time I try to balance my life both emotionally and mentally.

Strength: My fate, whatever happens is for good and of course my family who are very supportive.

Weakness: Emotions. I get irritated sometimes with my thoughts.

What can easily impress you: Good nature and sensible talks.

You’re crazy about: Music

Hobbies: Listening music, driving, dancing and creative things.

A cloud nine moment for you: When I entered Saath Nibhana Sathiya and in 3-4 days itself the show became no.1 for the first time. It was truly a cloud nine moment for me.

Do you believe in destiny: In some case yes and somewhere no. As I think hard work is necessary and only destiny won’t work for you.

Songs you’re humming these days: Zindagi Ka safar, tera bina zindagi se koi .. all the old songs.

Any TV show you follow: I used to follows many shows like Tara, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Dance India Dance but now because of shooting I don’t get time so whenever I get time I watch Fox Traveller or shows about animals. I like to watch such shows.

An Unforgettable day of your life: The day when I entered Saath Nibhana Saathiya.

Describe your daily routine in short: I wake up and check my mobile, Whats app then go to bath, have tea, leave for shoot, while going to the set I drive my car and listen to the music, then time goes on the set. I need space so I sit alone sometimes on the set. Then pack up and after reaching home I watch my show and day ends.

What’s your favorite pass time during free time on the sets: I like listening to the music whenever I am free and yes new craze which I have developed is that I shop online very frequently from the sets whenever I get time. I am totally frustrated with Whats app so I don’t do much chit chat on the same.

Favorite hangout places in Mumbai: Marine Drive.

Craziest fan encounter so far: There are two craziest fan of mine SJ & RJ from Indonesia, who have created my Facebook page and regularly keep it updating and share my day to day routine on that page. It is Devoleena Fan club which they have come up with on Facebook and this page contains all my little details and I was overwhelmed meeting them and they literally shout on me when I do something wrong or if my acting goes wrong at someplace. I adore them and appreciate them for their love for me.

The best compliment ever received: I am like Coconut, hard from outside but soft inside. People say that I am difficult to understand. Which I believe to be very true.

Your inspiration: My biggest inspiration is my mother, then great actor Smriti Zubin Irani as watching her inspired me a lot and then is my Dance teacher Ganga.

You’re incomplete without: Love.

Message to your fans: I love you all. Thank you for accepting me as Gopi and loving our show. It has been 2 years now and the love I received is above expectations. It is a biggest achievement for me as my show is on number one since I joined the show. The viewers are our strength and their blessing and love is very necessary to get our show on top. Please keep your love and appreciation on us as it means a lot.
