We
would
be
lying
if
we
say
that
we
didn't
love
Divya
Dutta's
portrayal
of
Shabbo
in
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Preity
Zinta
starrer
Veer
Zaara
but
Divya
reveals
she
was
initially
not
sure
of
taking
up
the
part.
She
revealed
that
Yash
Chopra-directed
film
came
her
way
after
a
couple
of
multi-starrer
projects
which
she
was
not
proud
of.
"Everyone
in
the
industry
says
yes
to
you.
Nobody
says
no.
They
are
all
very
nice
to
you.
I
called
up
home
and
told
them
that
I
have
signed
22
films...
I
waited
like
for
an
year
and
half
before
I
started
doing
multi-starrer
and
I
wasn't
happy
doing
that.
"I
wasn't
happy
dancing
around
trees
because
I
wanted
to
do
more.
Then
my
mother
just
sat
me
down
and
said
'What
are
you
waiting
for?'
I
told
her
something
will
come
my
way.
She
said
what
if
it
comes
after
25
odd
years.
she
said
why
don't
you
do
it
now.
Why
don't
you
take
up
those
roles
that
are
not
probably
your
lead
roles
but
they
have
so
much
substance,
so
much
significance."
The
actor
says
she
felt
it
was
"blasphemous" to
play
a
person
which
is
not
the
lead
character
when
"Veer
Zaara"
came
her
way.
"I
thought
it
was
blasphemy
to
take
on
friend's
role
in
a
Yash
Chopra
film.
But
Aditya
told
me
'You
are
never
going
to
regret
having
played
Shabbo'.
And
to
date
I
get
love
for
that
film."
Dutta
said
things
started
to
change
for
her
as
viewers
also
recognized
her
talent.
"What
started
happening
was
that
I
started
getting
roles
that
were
beautiful
but
they
were
not
the
lead.
I
had
to
add
my
overlook
to
those
roles
to
get
attention.
And
what
gradually
started
happening
was
that
people
started
talking
about
me...
Suddenly
things
started
coming
in."
The
actor
said
that
cinema
has
changed
a
lot
since
she
started
acting
and
there
is
so
much
going
on
for
artistes
today.
"When
you
talk
about
heartland
film,
earlier
you
would
just
think
of
those
stereotypical
films
where
you
have
one
hero
and
one
heroine...
since
you
haven't
come
the
cliched
way
you
are
not
belonging
somewhere.
But
now
roles
are
written
for
me...
There
is
a
colour
that
you
give
to
every
story...
so
there
is
so
much
more
excitement."
Divya
was
last
seen
in
Anil
Kapoor
starrer
Fanney
Khan.
