Also the comment came from their parents: 'The astrologer has lost his balance of mind!'

But, just as the astrologer had said, a film chance from Hindi field had really come. That film was "Goyal". She was introduced as heroine in it. The director had changed the name 'Devayani' as 'Goyal' for the film. When the 1st shooting-schedule of this film was going on, the astrologer had again come to her house and predicted that the film won't get released at all! What a surprise?
