4444 days, many stories & plot twists later: Dev and Subhashree follow each other on stage
After 4444 days, Dev and Subhashree Ganguly made their official public appearance on Monday evening, sending fans into a frenzy. It's been almost a decade since their last on-screen appearance in Khoka 420.
The crowd had a gala time. The highlight? When Subhashree playfully asked, 'Amar shonge friendship korbe?' – a throwback to Challenge. A brooding Dev asked, 'Keno?' and the crowd roared: 'Emni.' This filmy moment seemed long-awaited by all #DeSu fans.
History and chemistry
Dev-Subhashree are one of the most loved reel-life couples in the Bengali film industry. The duo also reportedly dated for many years. However, their relationship hit a rough patch, leading to a breakup.
Dev said on stage: 'We did four films together, right?' To which Subhashree responded with a 'Dhat! No, we did five,' only to be teased by Dev, who followed this up by saying, 'I was just testing your memory! Actually, it's six films now, together as a jodi.

'People love updating us with all the gossip'
When asked at the event, if they stalk each other on social media, Dev laughed and said he would — if only he had the time. 'But honestly, you stalk people you don't know. Subhashree's everywhere — on my feed, on hoardings — she's the lady superstar of Tollywood! I don't need to stalk her.
And anyway, people love updating us with all the gossip.' Subhashree added, 'I think 'stalk' is a negative word. We work in a small industry, we always know what everyone's doing.
We even met at KIFF!' To which Dev quipped, 'Yeah, sitting at opposite poles!' To which Subhashree said: 'Still counts. And he's doing brilliantly — everyone sees it.'
Project together? Definitely maybe
Dev said that for the two to work together, someone has to pen the right script which will do justice to their on-screen pairing and roles.
Subhashree quickly said: 'I can't afford to cast Dev as an actor in my production,' to which Dev replied, 'You give me an offer first, then we can negotiate the rest.'
#ThrowbackTime
It was nostalgia, magic, and pure fan euphoria — all wrapped into one unforgettable evening, the likes of which the Bengali film industry hasn't seen in years. The two kept having a witty match of words with one liners and their signature smile.
This was enough to send fans into a collective emotional meltdown. The fun continued as Dev turned to her and asked, 'Amar shonge dance korbe? I've forgotten when we last danced together.
' And just like that, the two broke into an impromptu performance of their two iconic songs: Mala Re from Romeo & Poran Jai Jolia Re from the eponymous film.
Subhashree followed each other on Instagram — live, on stage. 'I was blocked, unblocked… what more can I say?' Dev teased, glancing at her. 'Who blocked who?' Subhashree shot back, calling for her phone to follow him instantly. Dev followed right back. CT checked to confirm this
