Born in Ludhiana to a government officer and a doctor, this actress lost her father when she was seven. She was awarded the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 2017 social drama Irada . The actress has appeared in major films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Veer-Zaara, Stanley Ka Dabba, Heroine, Delhi-6 , and Blackmail, to name a few. After being in the industry for several years, she became a popular face by 2005. According to reports, she got engaged to Lt. Commander Sandeep Shergill in Chandigarh, but the engagement was later called off.
We are talking about actress Divya Dutta, who has recently opened up about her personal life. She also addressed the marriage speculations, saying, 'It has been very embarrassing explaining to people that Sandeep and I only got engaged in Chandigarh last year. Is there no difference between engagement and marriage?'
Actress Divya Dutta has joined the list of Bollywood stars who have decided not to get married like Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Tabu. In a recent interview, Divya spoke openly about her professional life and personal life. During this, she also spoke openly about her decision not to get married and explained why she made this decision.
Actress Divya, who was last seen in Chhaava, recently spoke to the portal Hindi Rush and shared her thoughts on being single. She openly accepted that it's better to love yourself rather than being in a miserable marriage. She said, 'If you find a good partner, it's great to be married. If not, life moves on beautifully. It's better to nurture yourself than stay in a dysfunctional marriage. Rather than lowering yourself in a relationship, it's better to love yourself. There's a lot of male attention coming my way and I enjoy that, but a relationship should happen when you connect. You feel that the person can hold your hand. If that isn't there, I have many lovely friends around me, and I am there for myself.'
Divya Dutta on not getting married
Divya Dutta further said that she does not want to get married, but want a partner with whom she can travel and be happy. 'Kyunki mai ne bahut galat haath pakade hai.. Toh aap aisa seekhte hai. Trial and error learning hoti hai jindagi mein. Mai toh bahut Yash Chopra, Karan Johar wali filmon ki, Karwa Chauth, yeh sab waali feeling rakhti thi. Lekin there comes a time when you feel, you look for completeness outside which is not necessary. Vo bhi seekhte hai. Vo bhi aap seekhte hai ki acha life partner aayega aisa jarruri nahi hai. Aap completeness apne mein aap mein dhunde tab aap koi aakar us cheej ko cherish kar skta hai', the actress continued.
In 2017, Dutta wrote a memoir, Me and Ma, about her heavenly relationship with her mother. It celebrates her mother's struggles to turn her into the woman she is today.

Made for Rs 41 crore, this film was rejected by Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, became a hit, earned Rs.. won 55 awards, lead actor is..
In 2013, a film hit theatres with the force of a storm — a story that didn't just touch hearts but rewrote box office history and award lists. It went on to win 55 awards, including two National Awards and a Filmfare Best Actor trophy. But what if we told you that this cinematic triumph was rejected by not one but three of Bollywood's top heroes? We're talking about Bhaag Milkha Bhaag , the sports biopic that immortalised India's 'Flying Sikh' — Milkha Singh — on the big screen. Directed by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, the film eventually starred Farhan Akhtar in the lead, but the road to finding that perfect Milkha was full of U-turns. The rejected bids Rakesh Omprakash Mehra initially approached three leading actors: Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, and Ranveer Singh. Each passed: Hrithik Roshan, praised for intensity, was unavailable—'committed to Krrish,' Mehra recalls in his memoir The Stranger in the Mirror. Aamir Khan, conflicted after Rang De Basanti, bluntly said, 'this is not for me.' Ranveer Singh read the script, impressed with the character, but ultimately declined. Mehra admits, 'I never understood why.' Enter the perfect pick After those three rejections, Farhan Akhtar stepped in. Within just 15 minutes of hearing the concept, he was all in. His portrayal as the legendary runner Milkha Singh, supported by Divya Dutta, Pawan Malhotra, Yograj Singh, Prakash Raj—and a cameo by Sonam Kapoor—transformed the film completely. From Rs 30 cr budget to global hit Despite its modest Rs 30 crore budget, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag surpassed box-office expectations, earning Rs 108 crore net in India and Rs 168 crore globally, quintupling its investment. Awards galore Besides its massive box office success, the film swept awards — 55 in total — and solidified Farhan's place in Bollywood not just as an actor but a performer with serious depth. From rejections to record-breaker, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag wasn't just a movie — it was a race to the finish line that no one saw coming.

Geeta Kapur criticises followers-based casting in Bollywood, calls it unfair: ‘I feel bad for those who learn the craft'
Choreographer Geeta Kapur, who has helmed the choreography for several popular films including Heyy Babyy, Saathiya, Duplicate, Tees Maar Khan and more, recently expressed her disappointment in an interview with Hindi Rush over the growing trend of casting actors in films based on their social media following. (Also Read: Geeta Kapur admits some parts of reality shows are scripted: 'Everyone enjoys peeking into others' lives') Geeta Kapur slams hiring actors on the basis of followers in Bollywood. Geeta feels that the trend is unfair but not entirely wrong, and added, "These days, even recruitment happens based on follower count. It took me 8–10 years to genuinely build 2.3 million followers. And some people just appear overnight with 23 million followers. It's a different world. That system is something else. I think talent is separate but if someone makes their hold in 15 seconds and grabs your attention, then they are doing something right." She added, "There are many talented actors in the industry who truly deserve a chance, but if this is the trend now, it's unfair, but not wrong. I think it's unfair for the people who work on their craft. I feel bad for those who actually spend time learning the craft. I'm also amazed by people who manage to convince others they know the craft, without actually knowing it. It's a very strange circle of life. You put a dancing video, people liked it, and your followers increased. Now, these people say we'll teach you dance, and people get convinced and go to them. You don't see their experience, but just the viral dance. It's very screwed up." Geeta also recalled how people used to offer her the opportunity to open a dance academy in her name and wanted her to teach, but at that time, she was busy. She revealed that many also offered her to just be the face of the academy, but she rejected it because she felt like it was cheating. About Geeta Kapur Geeta is a renowned Indian choreographer and television personality best known for her work in Bollywood and reality dance shows. Starting as an assistant to choreographer Farah Khan, Geeta gained fame choreographing numerous hit songs across decades including Sheila Ki Jawani, Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam and more. Often referred to as 'Geeta Maa' by her fans and reality show contestants, she has judged popular dance shows like Dance India Dance, Super Dancer, and India's Best Dancer, and is admired for her emotional connection with dancers.
