Divya Dutta who has been a part of films like Veer-Zara, Aaja Nachle and Badlapur, recently expressed her displeasure on being labelled as a 'supporting actor' in a series of tweets. The actress took a swipe at media and said that while her well-wishers think she deserves better, she doesn't like it when they tag her as a supporting actor.
Divya tweeted, "Kuch journo dosto yun hain ki (some journalist friends) I understand u feel I deserve better, but pls don't try branding me with a tag of supporting actor. Am not. I am an actor. A complete one at that where I play all sorts of roles . Even leads. U understand? U better understand."

They are called versatile. but this tag is bestowed upon me because in ur opinion I deserved better. I appreciate . I am very happy doing t best roles in the business."
