Debattama Saha on how her father didn't know she's in Mumbai till she got her first TV show

Actor Debattama Saha has now become a household name owing to her popular but short-lived show, Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahaani and her on-screen chemistry with Karanvir Sharma.

But her journey towards the showbiz has been quite an interesting one. Saha came to Mumbai in 2018 and surprisingly, her father didn't know at that time that she has shifted to Mumbai from Kolkata.

Talking about it with ETimes TV, Saha said, “I didn't tell him for a while. I knew that if I wanted to do something in the Hindi entertainment industry then I would have to be in Mumbai. I remember I stood outside the airport with my bags and I didn’t even have a place to stay. That was the scariest part! I contacted a friend via Facebook and that's how I managed to arrange my accommodation for a day."

As one would remember, Saha got her first break in 2019 with the show, Isharon Isharon Mein. Now, after two shows, Saha will be seen playing the lead in upcoming show Mithai, in which she plays a character who dreams of carrying forward her father’s sweet shop business.

Talking about how she has come a long way, she says, 'I am in a much better place now. I have rented a place. My mother and sister also live with me and life is far more peaceful now,” she concludes.
