Mumbai, May 20 Devoleena Bhattacharjee opened up about how her role in the popular TV show ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’ was much more than just a career milestone.

She revealed that playing the character of Gopi, a devoted follower of Lord Krishna, sparked a deep spiritual awakening in her.

Speaking about the show completing 15 years, Devoleena reflected on how it marked the beginning of a profound spiritual journey.

The former 'Bigg Boss' contestant shared, “If I look back, my show completed 15 years.. but feels like it just happened yesterday.. I still feel the butterflies in me.. It was a life changing experience.. I entered the show replacing someone..

But it was a beginning of spiritual journey.. while playing Gopi, I literally connected to Lord Krishna. I was playing a Krishna Bhakt in the show, but in no time it was real. I started reading books on Shri Krishna, and enjoyed a new journey of devotion and dedication.. it remains unchanged till date.”
