Deepali Pansare in Imagine's Devi..

Deepali Pansare who was seen essaying the role of Sumalatha in Star One's Dill Mill Gaye will be seen playing the mother of the protagonist in NDTV Imagine and Shakuntalam Telefilms' Devi which is to launch on 18th January.

According to our source, "Deepali plays a girl who gets married at a very young age, and gives birth to this kid who is eventually called as Devi".

When contacted, Deepali confirmed the news and said, "Yes, I am playing the character of Suhagi, a villager and house wife who gets married at a young age. While the entire village treats the new born as the incarnate of God, it is only the mother who treats her daughter as a normal girl. The mother and daughter will have a nice bonding as the story unfolds".

As reported earlier, Devi is about a kid who is believed to be an incarnate of God, as the village receives a rainfall as soon as this child is born, thus giving the entire village relief from a three year drought.

Hemant Pandey will play the kid's father. Nimay Bali has also been finalized to play an important role.

Devi will launch on Imagine at the 10 PM slot on January 18th, and will be aired from Monday to Friday…
