It’s official! Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Shanawaz Shaikh have joyfully announced that they are expecting their first child. The couple shared the happy news on Instagram, where they posed with a tiny onesie emblazoned with the phrase, “You can stop asking now.” In the photo, Devoleena is seen gracefully dressed in the traditional Assamese Mekhala chador, accessorized with elegant jewelry, while Shanawaz is also donning traditional attire. The announcement was made during a Panchamrit ceremony held in honor of the mother and child, where Devoleena was surrounded by her family and close friends.

Speculation about Devoleena’s pregnancy had been circulating for some time, especially after her appearance at Arti Singh’s wedding, which fueled the rumors. As she prepares to embrace motherhood, the actress has been hosting various religious ceremonies at home, marking this new chapter in her life.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee tied the knot with Shanawaz Shaikh post-lockdown, a marriage that surprised many fans who had believed she might marry her close friend Vishal Singh. Their inter-faith marriage drew significant attention on social media, where Devoleena faced trolling. Additionally, reports emerged suggesting that some members of her extended family were unhappy with her decision to marry outside her religion. Despite the challenges, Devoleena has spoken about how Shanawaz has been her rock, especially during a difficult period when she was bedridden with severe lumbar pain following an injury on Bigg Boss 13. The injury left her with gaps in her spinal cord, and Shanawaz’s unwavering support during that time strengthened their bond.

Recently, Devoleena conducted a Satyanarayana Puja at her home, an event that sparked mixed reactions online. Some netizens criticized the absence of Shanawaz, suggesting the ritual was incomplete without her husband. However, others admired her deep spiritual connection and praised her devotion. Devoleena, known for her religious nature, celebrates the Ganpati festival every year at her home. As a devout follower of Goddess Kamakhya, a revered deity in Assamese culture, she has always been open about her faith and its importance in her life.

The actress has previously shared the struggles she and her brother faced after the untimely death of their father. Raised by their mother and grandmother, Devoleena emotionally recounted how her mother battled depression while raising the children on her own. Now, fans of Devoleena Bhattacharjee are delighted to see her living a blissful and fulfilling life with her husband Shanawaz Shaikh, as they eagerly await the arrival of their first child.
