Devoleena Bhattacharjee on childhood memories with her brother
Sharing her childhood memories, Devoleena Bhattacharjee said, "I remember during our childhood, we used to share everything. Our mom used to go office. So we used to take care of each other in her absence. I always feel that my childhood was best because of my brother. I feel God has been kind and made me the luckiest sister by gifting me a caring and amazing brother.
When asked who resolves issues and makes efforts to maintain a seamless bond, Devoleena said, "Any bond needs both sides. And similarly in ours. We both give equal efforts. Having said that, I think a sibling bond doesn't really need any efforts as such. They're meant to be together. Their petty fights and tu-tu-main-main are what makes the bond so beautiful. We are always there for each other and that goes without saying."
