Things haven’t been going smooth between TV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee who plays the lead in the Star Plus’s serial Saath Nibhaana Saathiya and Utkarsha Naik who plays Devoleena’s on-screen mother-in-law.
The equation between the two went for a toss since the time Devoleena’s pet dog went missing from the sets of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.
For the dog tale which fumed between Devoleena and her on-screen MIL, Utkarsha Naik, let's tell it to you right from start.
The dog was named Jugnu by Devoleena. He was a friendly pet on the sets. Recently he went missing. Devoleena, who was extremely attached to Jugnu was very disturbed.

When she could not find Jugnu for two days, she checked with a spot dada and came to know that Jugnu was last seen with her co-star Utkarsha Naik in her car. Naik plays her mother-in-law in the show.
However, when Devoleena confronted Utkarsha she denied the episode saying that she had dropped Jugnu outside the lane while leaving. Buzz is, she later changed her statement and said she dropped him outside studio’s gate.
Devoleena who just couldn’t get her mind off Jugnu, stalled the shoot for 2 days as she was unable to work.
Confirming the chain of events, Devoleena told SpotboyE.com, “I used to come on the sets but could not concentrate. I am a very big animal lover.”
The incident reached the producers’ body– AMTPP, who had a word with Naik. Three days later, Devoleena declared that she will file a police complaint. The very next day, sometime late in the evening, Utkarsha called the team of the show to inform them that she had found Jugnu under a bridge. She also sent his photo to them.
And a day after that, she brought the dog back on the sets!
We asked Devoleena: Does she suspect Utkarsha for taking the dog away?
To which, the actress replied, “What spot dada told me does matter to me. I would not like to say anything beyond this.”
And then we popped the most obvious question. We asked: Are you in good terms with Utkarsha?
Devoleena shot back, "Not anymore! I am very uncomfortable around her presence now," then added, "But yesterday was a different story.”
