Making her Hindi television debut, Bengali actress Debchandrima Singha Roy as her first show Suhagan Chudail has gone on air. Her move of switching gears from Bangla to Hindi kicked off with her stepping into the lead role of Deeya, as she is seen embodying a courageous young woman determined to rescue her love, Moksh (played by Zayn Ibad Khan), from the clutches of an immortality-seeking chudail named Nishigandha (portrayed by Nia Sharma).

Taking us behind the scenes of her foray in Hindi television, the debutante opens up about breaking the language barrier for her role as Deeya. Although she was thrilled to land this part in the fantasy show, it came with its own set of challenges since she hailed from a Bengali background. The actress confessed that it was draining to master the intricacies of a new language like Hindi. However, Debchandrima was keen on undergoing linguistic training and achieve fluency but she also asserted that her co-stars Zayn Ibad Khan and Nia Sharma also supported her in this endeavour.

While speaking of her Hindi learning experience, Debchandrima shared, “Taking on the role of Deeya in Suhagan Chudail has been an incredible and immensely rewarding journey, but one that came with its own set of hurdles. As a Bengali actor, I dealt with the challenge of not just embodying Deeya but mastering an entirely new language - Hindi. From the moment I got this opportunity, I am trying my best to master in Hindi speaking. I devoured books, watched videos, rehearsed my dialogues tirelessly, and leaned heavily on the guidance of my talented co-stars.

“Zayn Ibad Khan and Nia Sharma were absolute rockstars in this process. Even now, I make it a point to read and re-read my lines until the words flow as naturally as if Hindi were my mother tongue. It feels wonderful to have the Hindi audience commend my fluency in the language. I hope they'll give me as much love as my Bengali fans have over the years. At the end of the day, this whole language learning experience just proves that when you're passionate about something, you can make the impossible happen,” she added.

Suhagan Chudail follows Deeya's relentless battle against the enchantress, who seeks eternal life by marrying and sacrificing 16 husbands through the ominous ritual of 'Solah Shringaars.' With Moksh as her 16th target, Deeya wages a war to shatter the supernatural siren's spell and save her beloved. The new show airs from Monday to Friday at 10:30 pm on Colors.
