Divya Dutta Opens Up On Being Replaced By Other Actors: Used To Feel Hurt And Helpless
Actress Divya Dutta opened up on how she dealt with being replaced in films at the last minute, in a recent interview. Sharing that she felt hurt and helpless when she was dropped out of movies, she eventually learned to cope with it and make use of the opportunities that did come her way.
Speaking
to
Times
of
India,
Divya
said
about
being
replaced
by
other
actors,
"It
used
to
feel
like
a
huge
sense
of
loss,
coming
and
being
rejected
or
being
told
on
the
phone
that
someone
else
has
been
roped
in.
I've
been
dropped
out
of
many
movies
at
the
last
minute
so
that
hurts
because
you
feel
sheer
helplessness
because
you
know
how
good
you
could've
been
in
that
role."
She shared that it was her mother who helped her deal with this. "My mother used to ask 'Why are you upset?' then I would say, mom, 'I've been thrown out of the film, why? I don't know.' So she says 'Does that stop your life? Life never stops and tomorrow's another day.' In fact, it's strange that the people who have dropped me, I have worked with them a few years later with better roles," she said.
Divya said that focusing on making use of the opportunities one gets, is the best way to move forward. "It's your life and so you have to make what comes your way and there's no other way. So I think I have been that way, wanting to leave all these rejections and get the best of what I had," she said.
Divya was last seen in Sheer Qorma, a same-sex love story directed by Faraz Arif Ansari, also starring Swara Bhaskar and Shabana Azmi.
