Devoleena Bhattacharjee Defends Karwa Chauth Tradition

Devoleena Bhattacharjee, a television actress, has expressed her thoughts on Karwa Chauth. She believes that people who do not follow the tradition should not judge those who do.

Devoleena has never observed the fast herself, as it is not traditionally followed in her Bengali and Assamese cultures. However, she is interested in experiencing it someday.

The actress thinks that Karwa Chauth is a way for couples to express their love and should be a personal choice. She also pointed out that many husbands now observe the fast alongside their wives, making it a shared celebration.

Devoleena questioned why fasting for a partner is often viewed differently from other lifestyle choices, such as dieting or intermittent fasting. She believes that people should be free to follow traditions that bring them happiness, as long as they are not forced to do so.

Devoleena is married to fitness trainer Shanawaz Shaikh and has a son with him. Her husband asks her every year whether she plans to observe Karwa Chauth, and she hopes to do so next year.
