New Delhi. Actress Divya Dutta is celebrating her 49th birthday today on 25th September. In his film career spanning over three decades, he has created his own special identity by playing different types of characters. His journey from a city like Ludhiana to the film world of Mumbai was not easy. The biggest reasons behind this were family support, hard work and self-confidence. Divya Dutta was born on 25 September 1977 in Ludhiana, Punjab, to doctor parents. Most of the people in the family were doctors but since childhood, Divya's mind started getting drawn towards acting and films.
Divya Dutta was also very good in studies. In his childhood, both his parents were government doctors and patients used to come to their house regularly. Divya had learned many types of languages by listening to different ways of speaking of people. Her father felt that the girl should stay with her aunts in Delhi for some time. After this Divya started living with her three aunts in Delhi. Her aunts were teachers and they nurtured Divya's personality along with her education.
Divya's passion for films was awakened by her youngest aunt. He was very fond of watching movies and Divya also started watching movies with him. Gradually the world of films started attracting him. She also wanted to get a hairstyle like her favorite actresses for going to school. Sometimes she wanted to look like Neetu Kapoor and sometimes she was influenced by Zeenat Aman and Hema Malini. It was during this period that her dream of becoming an actress started taking shape.
But a big change took place in Divya's life at the age of seven. His father died suddenly. This incident made him responsible at a very young age. After this, her mother Dr. Nalini Dutta raised Divya and her brother alone. Divya was very close to her mother and while living with her, she unknowingly learned many nuances of acting.
Divya tells that her mother liked old actresses and she often used to give expressions in their style. Divya also used to imitate her mother. Both of them used to listen to songs together and dance on the terrace. Watching her mother's expressions and acting style, Divya's understanding of acting started developing. Later, while working in the film Train to Pakistan, these things he learned from his mother came in handy.
The story of reaching Mumbai is also interesting. Divya was fond of reading film magazines. One day she filled the talent hunt form published in Stardust but later forgot it. When her form was accepted, she told her mother that she wanted to become an actress and go to Mumbai. Many people in the family opposed this decision but her mother stood firmly with her daughter's dream.
After coming to Mumbai, Divya had to face rejection many times but she did not lose courage. By working hard continuously, he made his place in films and played many memorable characters. Today Divya Dutta's name is taken among those actresses who have created a distinct identity in Hindi cinema with their strong acting. This story of his on his birthday tells that a dream that started from a small town can reach the big city with the help of family's trust and continuous struggle.
