Gurmeet Choudhary & Debinna Bonnerjee enjoy family time during Jamai Shosthi
Mumbai, June 20
Actress Debinna Bonnerjee dropped a glimpse of the Jamai Shosthi celebration this year on social media.
The photos dropped by Debinna on her Instagram handle on Saturday showed her enjoying a delicious meal with husband Gurmeet Choudhary and their two daughters, Lianna and Divisha.
All of them were seen eating on the floor, dressed in traditional red and white attire, making for an adorable family.
Soaking in the beautiful memory with her family, Debinna wrote on the photo-sharing app, "Jamai Shosthi at its peak, every single year...From Ma's lovingly prepared feast for her Jamai to watching our babies understand this tradition, dress up with excitement, and enjoy every bit of it as much as we do.. these are the moments that stay with you..
The best memories are often made around home-cooked meals and family traditions passed down with love...#happyjamaishoshti to all our Bengali fam (sic)."
Jamai Sasthi is a traditional Bengali ritual performed on the sixth tithi of the Shukla paksha of the Joishtho month. The married women and their husbands are invited by the women's parents.
For the unaware, 'Ramayan' co-stars Gurmeet and Debinna got married on 15 February 2011. These two tied the knot yet again on 4 October 2021.
The lovebirds became parents for the first time as they welcomed their first child, daughter Lianna, on 3 April 2022. The couple embraced parenthood for the second time on 11 November 2022 as they were blessed with their second daughter, Divisha.
Meanwhile, during his recent appearance on the show "Tum Ho Naa - Ghar Ki Superstar", Gurmeet revealed that he always wanted to marry a Bengali girl.
"Mujhe humesha lagta tha Bengali ladkiyan bohot khoobsurat aur talented hoti hai. Bengal mai maine pehli baar dekha padhai ke saath sports aur dusri cheezo ko bhi importance diya jata hai. To mujhe laga ladki agar ghar mai aayegi to Bengali aayegi. (I always believed that Bengali girls are very beautiful and talented. In Bengal, I saw for the first time that, along with studies, sports and other things are also given importance. So I thought if a girl came into my house, she would be a Bengali.)," he shared.

Love how Debinna's Ma still prepares a feast for her Jamai every year! That's the essence of Indian families - no matter how successful you are, the love of home-cooked meals and traditions remains unmatched. And Gurmeet's comment about wanting to marry a Bengali girl is too cute! 🤗
It's heartwarming to see inter-cultural marriages embracing each other's traditions with such joy. Gurmeet and Debinna are setting a great example for their daughters – showing them that traditions are about love and togetherness, not just rituals. The girls in red and white outfits are adorable!
Honestly, I'm a bit tired of these celebrity family posts. They get so much attention for doing what millions of ordinary Indian families do every day. But yes, nice to see them keeping traditions alive. The daughters are lucky to have such a loving family environment.
As a Bengali myself, I can confirm Jamai Shosthi is one of the most fun festivals! The way Ma prepares special dishes for the son-in-law is legendary. Kudos to Gurmeet for embracing Bengali culture so wholeheartedly. And yes, Bengali girls are indeed beautiful and talented! 😄🇮🇳
The way Debinna wrote about "Ma's lovingly prepared feast" and "watching our babies understand this tradition" – that's what it's all about! These small moments become the foundation of family bonds. And how cute that they got married twice – once traditionally and then again in 2021!
