The Kolkata Mail correspondent Priyanka Dutta caught up with Debaroopa Bhattacharya on Ummaira’s Durga Puja collection.

“Durga Puja signifies celebration. It denotes the victory of good over evil. It also highlights the annihilation of all negative forces. It is also the perfect time for coming together with friends and family members. It is not a festival only but an emotional and cultural journey of five days. And people had to spend two years of their lives fearing the pandemic. This time, the Durga Puja will be much more enjoyable and I am looking forward to it” said Debaroopa.
