Imagine's 'Sita', Debina Bonnerjee in Mahima Shani Dev Ki..


Debina Bonnerjee who is popularly known as Imagine's Sita will now be seen in an episodic on the same channel, albeit in a new avatar. Debina will play a lady who is in love, in Sagar Arts' Mahima Shani Dev Ki which is aired on Imagine.

According to our source, "It was like home coming for Debina who portrayed the role of Sita in Imagine's Ramayan. In Mahima Shani Dev Ki, she portrays the role of Ganga, who is today's simple rural woman. The episode featuring her will be a Special Episode, which will be aired this Saturday. The channel will be extensively promoting this Special Episode of Mahima Shani Dev Ki. Kunal Bakshi who was recently seen in Imagine's Meera will be the guy opposite Debina".

When contacted, Debina confirmed the news and said, "Yes, I play the role of Ganga who is a typical rural girl. The character when compared to Sita is treated differently".

Talking about shooting again for Imagine, Debina states, "It was like getting back home with Sagar Arts and Imagine. We shot for this particular episode in Baroda, at the same set where we had shot for Ramayan. I could relate with every prop present on the sets; it was an emotional moment for me where I could recall all the old memories. The last shoot that had happened on this set was for Ramayan, and I could even recollect the scenes I shot there. All my special scenes starting from Sita Mata's entry sequence, Swayamvar, Shaadi, the first night, to the sequence where we leave for vanvaas, and the Raj Abhishek were shot here. I always got a feeling that Gurmeet is just around, and would come out to shoot his scene. When I called Gurmeet and told him about my emotional moment shooting on the sets, he too came to Baroda on the final day, to share the experience with me. He was so overwhelmed that he roamed and roamed the entire sets thinking of the good old days".

On playing a typical rural girl like Ganga, Debina quips, "Well, this was very much easy when compared to playing Sita (smiles). There were no restrictions when it came to playing Ganga. I could give my own inputs to the character, and enact scenes in the manner I wanted".

The Maha Episode of Mahima Shani Dev Ki will be aired this Saturday on May 1st at 8 PM.

I really wish Debina would stop playing these mahaan roles.

As Sita, she had no choice, since that character is etched in stone. But as Ganga last night, she was again uncomfortably close to a doormat mode - here she was, pregnant, and she was just meekly accepting the treatment her hubby was meting out to her. And when someone asked her about her predicament, she said that her hubby gave her the same punishment as Rama did to Sita 😕 (if this was supposed to be ironic given Debina's previous role as Sita, it wasn't funny). Happily enough, Shani dev comes to her aid and sabotages the second marriage her hubby was about to have, and her hubby returned to her, all apologetic. This was the part I had a problem w/ - when someone has wronged you and apologizes, the graceful thing to do is just accept the apology, instead of asking him not to embarrass you. However, Ganga was happy that she got her hubby back.

I'd like to see Debina in roles where she plays not a villain or a vamp, but rather a character who runs her life independently, and isn't a doormat for some pati-dev or sasural (note that I'm not saying that she was a doormat as Sita, since Ram-ji always treated her well. But in these other roles, her hubby is nothing even close to what Rama was)

It's prob one of the only offers she's getting, who knows? If she had more variety of choices, she'd prob choose a longer role than just one episode.
Anyhow, she wasn't much of a doormat as Sita, Sagars pretty much twisted Sitaji's character (to make her more 'relatable' to women of today - as if) to make her rude and a tad bit unreasonable at times, so in my opinion, she was more more a doormat as Ganga than Sita. Her character of Sita lost her soft heartedness half way through the show, and as Ganga she seemed meek and forgiving. In fact, she seemed more of a Sitaji type as Ganga than in Ramayan.
But either way, she did good.
