In the cutthroat world of Bollywood, not everyone gets to play the lead role. Many talented actors are relegated to supporting roles, but some manage to shine even in those smaller parts. Divya Dutta is one such actress who has made a name for herself despite starting her career with minor roles.

Born to a young mother who lost her husband at just 7 years old, Divya grew up in a challenging environment. She recalls hiding behind her mother's dupatta during the Punjab insurgency, praying that no one would shoot her. Her journey in Bollywood was no less tumultuous. Starting with a supporting role in the 1995 film "Suraksha" alongside Suniel Shetty, Divya went on to work in several films, including "Veeragati" with Salman Khan, "Agni Sakshi" with Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, and Manisha Koirala, and "Chhote Sarkar" with Govinda and Shilpa Shetty.

Despite her talent, Divya was limited to supporting roles in Bollywood. However, she found success in Punjabi cinema, starting with the hit film "Shaheed-E-Mohabbat Boota Singh" alongside Gurdas Maan. Her breakthrough role came when she played Shabbo in Yash Chopra's epic love story "Veer-Zaara" alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Rani Mukerji. The film became a cult classic, and Divya's performance earned her recognition in the industry.

Divya's subsequent films, including "Special 26" and "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", solidified her position as a talented supporting actress. Despite facing rejection and being replaced in at least 20 films, Divya persevered and eventually won the National Award for Best Supporting Actress for her film "Irada". Her latest release, "Sharmaji Ki Beti", has received positive reviews, with her performance being praised by audiences and critics alike.

Directed by Tahira Kashyap, the film also stars Sakshi Tanwar, Sayami Kher, and others and is available on Prime Video. Divya's journey serves as a testament to her dedication and resilience in the face of adversity. From struggling to find her footing in Bollywood to becoming a sought-after supporting actress, Divya Dutta's story is an inspiration to many.
