Bengali actress

Shreema Bhattacherjee

is on cloud nine. The actress will soon be seen on ‘Nabarupe Mahadurga’, a Mahalaya special show starring film actress Koel Mallick as

goddess Durga

.

Shreema is an admirer of

Koel

and her films. Her happiness had no limits when Koel praised her dance performance during the shooting. “I am a big fan of Koel di. I grew up watching her films. My happiness had no limits when I learned that I would shoot for the Mahalaya special show featuring her. It was a hectic day and I was having a hard time memorising the dance steps. When my performance was over, everyone on the floor was clapping. I didn’t notice Koel di was sitting near the monitor,” Shreema took a small break and then added, “She praised my performance. Earing praises from someone you idolise, gives you a surreal feeling. I still remember how I managed a quick leave from my tuition teacher to watch her films. There isn’t a single pandal where her hit songs don’t get played.”

Shreema will be seen as

Gouri

in the upcoming TV program. The actress is super excited about the show. “Featuring on a Mahalaya special show and playing Goddess Durga's avatar is a dream come true moment for me. Since childhood, I have always dreamed of this. I used to close my eyes while listening to Mahalaya path and dream of myself as Goddess Durga,” she adds.

Recently, Shreema featured in a Bengali music video by Kailash Kher.
