Debina met her life partner, Gurmeet Choudhary, during her first stay
in Mumbai when she began her career as an actress. They were in a solid
relationship for a few years before Gurmeet proposed to her in NDTV
Imagine's Pati Patni aur Woh. On February 15, 2011, the couple finally
tied the knot in a private home ceremony attended by only close family
and friends.
Early Career:
Debina participated in Ms. Calcutta and reached the final 20, but then
she was out in the first round. Instead of returning home, Debina sat
through it till the end just to see what the winner had in her that she
lacked. Afterwards Debina took part in other contests like Lakme which
she and Reshmi Ghosh won. The next year, Debina took part in the Ms.
Calcutta contest again and this time won!
From there Debina went to Mumbai to participate in the Ms. Bollywood contest organized by Sahara. One early morning she was walking through Juhu and a director from the South approached her and asked her about the auditions she had gone to four days ago for Anandiyadi productions, the house that boasts of Gemini and Sun TV in the South. The director had really liked her audition and ended up giving her the first lead though she had auditioned for the second.
Debina immediately signed her next film with Shivraj Kumar in Kannada
and another in Tamil with Captian Vijaykanth. Television shows weren't
really on her mind as of then. However, Debina got a 3D serial offer
called Mayavi, which she considered rejecting when Gurmeet Choudhary
convinced her to give it a try. She auditioned for it and got the female
lead, whereas Gurmeet bagged the role of the main antagonist. This
project was met with much success in the South and even went for the
Seon Film Festival, winning first prize in the foreign film category.
Television:
After Mayavi, Debina was next seen on television screen as Goddess Sita
of Sagar Arts' Ramayan on NDTV Imagine, opposite Gurmeet who played Lord
Ram. She never thought she would do a mythological role in her career,
but the character of Sita turned out to be a refreshing change from the
typical Indian bahu of television, and she found that she really enjoyed
the experience.
Following Ramayan, NDTV Imagine's Pati Patni aur Woh came by which
Gurmeet and Debina both thought was perfect for them to get out of their
mythological character mould, set free, and be identified by their real
names. Pati Patni aur Woh was the last show which Debina and Gurmeet
did together, for after that Debina was seen in reality shows such as
Zor Ka Jhatka and Star Ya Rockstar before settling down with Garima
Productions' Chidiya Ghar on Sab Tv. Now, Debina is a household name not
just as Devi Sita of Ramayan, but also Mayuri Narayan of Chidiyaghar.
