The actress quoted saying, “I am born and brought up in a small town Silchar, Assam and no one in my hometown can even dream of becoming an actress. If someone gets a degree in engineering or becomes a doctor, it’s a considered very big. I was inclined towards singing and acting since childhood and my mother used to secretly let me train under professionals. My father did not like the idea of my pursuing acting, so we never told him. Then, after great pursuing and hard work, I moved to Kolkata to study. I have finished my BA Hons and bagged a Bengali TV show. Just like Anokhi is proud to show her trophy to her dad, who is against her wish to study further, similarly, I was always hoping to show my trophies to my dad and make him proud. Just like Anokhi runs away from Kapurthala, I went to Kolkata and then later I moved to Mumbai 3-4 years ago. When I came here, culturally I was shocked because people happily moved around and had relationships.”
Debattama further revealed that she started giving auditions and then she bagged a role in Sony TV’s show Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein. However, after the show went off-air, she gave several auditions but things didn’t work out here. The actress had almost given up on her career and had decided to go back. That’s when she got a call for Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani and things changed for her forever.
She quoted, “I used to write a little diary since childhood how I wanted to be an actress and I was so scared that I did not even write the full word ‘actress’ in my diary. But, after many years of hard work, I finally landed my first show Isharon Isharon Mein two years back. And then the pandemic struck in 2020. I kept giving auditions but I was not sure if I will get more work due to the situation. When there was no hope left, I called my parents last year that I would like to pack my bags and come back to Silchar. I was all set to go back when I got a call from the makers of Shaurya Aur Anokhi. When I heard the script, I cried and cried because it is the story of my life.”
