¡°It amuses me that male actors who do the same I.e play every kind of roles are not given this term . They are called versatile. but this tag is bestowed upon me because in your opinion I deserved better. I appreciate. I am very happy doing the best roles in the business (sic),¡± she further wrote.

In a career that spans 25 years in the entertainment business, Divya Dutta has proved what an exceptional actor she is after terrific work in films like Jogger¡¯s Park, LOC Kargil, Veer-Zara, Aaja Nachle, Delhi 6 and Badlapur. But even then, if she feels that she is being branded and is unable to headline a film, it shows a different light of Bollywood.
