Controversies	• In January 2015, Devoleena had a catfight with the television actress, Loveleen Kaur Sasan, who played the role of ‘Paridhi’ in the TV serial “Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.” Reportedly, she was insecure with Loveleen’s entrance in the show. • In 2016, there were reports of paranormal activities taking place on the sets of the serial Saath Nibhaana Saathiya and Devoleena confirmed the same. Devoleena, during a press interview, said that the sets of the show were haunted and caused a negative influence on the cast and crew. • In the same year, Devoleena landed into controversy after her feud with the television actor, Vishal Singh. Reportedly, Bhattacharjee was rehearsing her script with the director and Vishal and Vandana Vithlani (television actress), who were seated close to the actress, were cracking jokes which disturbed her. She lost her cool and shouted at Vandana, which didn’t go well with Vishal which resulted in a heated argument between the two. However, they settled their differences after a few months. • In October 2016, Devoleena accused Utkarsha Naik, who played the role of ‘Pramila’ in ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya,’ of kidnapping her dog ‘Jugnu’ from the sets of the show. She even registered a complaint against her to PETA. • In 2018, Devoleena got embroiled into a controversy after she was summoned for questioning by the Mumbai's Pant Nagar Police in a diamond trader’s murder case. Her name cropped up in the inquiry after her phone number was found in Rajeshwar Udani’s (diamond merchant) call details. However, the actress later cleared that she was safe, and it was a normal investigation.
