LATEST NEWS ABOUT DIVYA DUTTA
Of late, Divya Dutta has
been suitably occupied with her debut as an author. The actor is penning an
autobiographical novel, which she hopes to release in 2012. “I’ve been writing
articles for newspapers and magazines. And writing is a very beautiful way of
expression,” she says, adding, “It’s
only halfway through. I’ve had myriad experiences till date, so it will
have shades of me and reflect my life. I can’t put a deadline to anything. But
it should release mid-next year.”
Meanwhile, she has also been in the news for an
unusual reason. Her role opposite Makrand Deshpande in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s
My Friend Pinto (MFP) is rumoured to be a spook on the Abu Salem-Monica Bedi
romance. But Divya isn’t amused: “It’s a feel-good comedy with a lot of fun. I
think such comparisons are commonplace, so one should watch the film and then
take a call.”
On the upcoming film, MFP, she says, “I play an actor who is out of the race in the film industry. And she moves around with a don. She is very hot, frothy and yet vulnerable.”
Ask Divya if she replaced Manisha Koirala in the film and she says, “If Manisha had done the role, she would have brought in her own personality. She is a far senior actor and I really don’t mind doing a film that has been offered to another actor first.”
