Divya Dutta is Playing a ‘Fabulous Antagonist in Dhaakad, Something I’ve Never Done Before’

Actress Divya Dutta, who is shooting for her upcoming film Sharmaji Ki Beti in Mumbai, are going to be having a quiet birthday celebration on Saturday as she turns a year older. Divya shares she isn’t particularly big on parties but her friends within the industry and relations do get together, although it seems unlikely that anything special will happen considering the pandemic.

On the sidelines of her movie shoot, Divya shares, “I like being with my family and friends on birthdays. Nothing big thanks to the Covid situation but i will be able to celebrate it the maximum amount as I can. whenever i’m shooting, people that are there with me are certainly around. For my birthdays, Rajat (Kapoor) always comes. Shabana (Azmi) ji definitely wishes me, Amitabh (Bachchan) ji is so special that he calls and there are numerous others. In today’s times we are mostly not celebrating things but wishes are always coming in.”

About her birthday memories from the past, Divya recalls, “Last i used to be shooting for Special Ops, there was a pleasant cake that was organised, nice food came in and that i was pampered tons . Later, I went out with my friends and that i commit it to memory was a stunning time. i’m not a really party person but whenever family gets together, we sit, chat and its all very lovely. Everyone’s love just makes my day special. To be taken care of causes you to feel happy.”

One of Divya’s anticipated films is Dhaakad, opposite Kangana Ranaut and Arjun Rampal. The unit recently finished shooting in Hungary amid the pandemic. About the upcoming actioner, she says, “It may be a fabulous role. i’m playing an antagonist in it. it’s a badass role and something I even have never done before. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this film. Kangana (Ranaut) and Arjun (Rampal) are excellent in it. The outdoor was very nice after the lockdown. Hungary was beautiful. I saw places and shot around.”

On doing action in Dhaakad, Divya shares, “I have done tons of action and auto racing previously. i actually enjoy it. Dhaakad is extremely different, of course. i’m more known for my emotional roles so people tend to note this side of me lesser. I enjoy unravelling the role on the set. Workshops happen but i really like being on set more and unfurling it.”
