Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who rose to fame with the television show Saath Nibhana Saathiya and later appeared in Bigg Boss, is currently enjoying the beautiful phase of motherhood. She frequently shares glimpses of her personal life through vlogs and social media posts. In a recent update, the actress took to her social media account to share a deeply emotional and memorable moment from her journey as a mother.
Joy Takes His First Step
Devoleena Bhattacharjee posted a heartwarming video capturing the moment her son, Joy, took his first step. Expressing her feelings, she wrote on Instagram, 'You realize your baby doesn’t need your hands anymore… Today he took his first steps…and I stood there—smiling, crying, and silently wishing time would slow down.' She added, 'No award, no success, nothing compares to this feeling. Just a mother… watching her whole world grow up in front of her.'
Motherhood Over Work
The actress, who has been away from the small screen, addressed questions about her return to work. In March, she responded to a fan query, stating that while she loves her profession, she wants to give her full attention to her son at this stage. She wrote, 'Have you stopped working? When are you starting again? You should get back to work now. I hear these questions quite often. And I understand where they come from. Work has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve always believed in giving 100% to whatever I do. But today, life has given me a role that asks for even more. Motherhood. These are the moments I once prayed for. The little giggles, the tiny milestones, the comfort my child finds in my arms. If I’ve always believed in giving my best to everything in life, then motherhood deserves not just 100%… it deserves 500%. Right now, my son needs me more than anything else. And choosing to be present for him is a decision I make with love and without any apology.'
