Meet actress, who was once felt cheated in love, never got married, she said Galat haath pakde...; Her name is...
We are talking about actress Divya Dutta, who has recently opened up about her personal life. She also addressed the marriage speculations, saying, 'It has been very embarrassing explaining to people that Sandeep and I only got engaged in Chandigarh last year. Is there no difference between engagement and marriage?'
Actress Divya Dutta has joined the list of Bollywood stars who have decided not to get married like Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Tabu. In a recent interview, Divya spoke openly about her professional life and personal life. During this, she also spoke openly about her decision not to get married and explained why she made this decision.
Actress Divya, who was last seen in Chhaava, recently spoke to the portal Hindi Rush and shared her thoughts on being single. She openly accepted that it's better to love yourself rather than being in a miserable marriage. She said, 'If you find a good partner, it's great to be married. If not, life moves on beautifully. It's better to nurture yourself than stay in a dysfunctional marriage. Rather than lowering yourself in a relationship, it's better to love yourself. There's a lot of male attention coming my way and I enjoy that, but a relationship should happen when you connect. You feel that the person can hold your hand. If that isn't there, I have many lovely friends around me, and I am there for myself.'
Divya Dutta on not getting married
Divya Dutta further said that she does not want to get married, but want a partner with whom she can travel and be happy. 'Kyunki mai ne bahut galat haath pakade hai.. Toh aap aisa seekhte hai. Trial and error learning hoti hai jindagi mein. Mai toh bahut Yash Chopra, Karan Johar wali filmon ki, Karwa Chauth, yeh sab waali feeling rakhti thi. Lekin there comes a time when you feel, you look for completeness outside which is not necessary. Vo bhi seekhte hai. Vo bhi aap seekhte hai ki acha life partner aayega aisa jarruri nahi hai. Aap completeness apne mein aap mein dhunde tab aap koi aakar us cheej ko cherish kar skta hai', the actress continued.
In 2017, Dutta wrote a memoir, Me and Ma, about her heavenly relationship with her mother. It celebrates her mother's struggles to turn her into the woman she is today.

Actor rebelled against conservative Muslim family to work, fans wrote her letters in blood, left industry for inter-faith marriage
Actor who rose to fame in the 2000s and was one of the most loved faces of Indian television. She became a household name and ruled the TV industry with her role as Kashish Sujal Garewal in Ekta Kapoor's hit show Kahiin To Hoga. Aamna Shariff, whose on-screen chemistry with co-star Rajeev Khandelwal holds a lot of importance in the history of Indian TV, belonged to a conservative Muslim family. She eventually gathered the courage to fight through her personal struggles, to fulfill her dream of becoming an actor. The actor was born on July 16, 1982, in Mumbai to an Indian father and a Persian-Bahraini mother. In an interview with Hindi Rush recently, Aamna recalled her family struggles and shared, 'I always wanted to become an actor, but I came from a very conservative Muslim family. My dad passed away very early on, so it was just me and my mom.' She further added, 'No one ever thought anyone from the family would go in the acting line. I also had to give up earlier, because the circumstances were such that I had to work at a boutique to go ahead with my education.' Aamna Sharif started her career with modeling, advertisements and music videos before transitioning to television and films. She did videos for artists such as Kumar Sanu, Falguni Pathak, and Daler Mehndi. 'But, destiny is destiny. I got an offer for an ad when I was in college. I gathered the courage to take permission from my mother again. My mom said that it's impossible, I kept convincing for six months, she went against the entire family,' she said. ALSO READ | Rajeev Khandelwal reveals why he quit Kahiin Toh Hoga, talks about last meeting with show's producers: 'I locked horns with Ekta Kapoor, many thought I was egoistic' 'They didn't talk to her for two years. I did music videos after that, and there were many other ad films as well. Ekta Kapoor saw me there and called me to audition. That is how my main journey began. I am very grateful to her. My mom has complete faith in me,' the actor continued. After her successful television show Kahiin To Hoga (by Ekta Kapoor) finished in 2007, Aamna tried her hand in the Bollywood industry, appearing in films like Aloo Chaat, Aao Wish Karein, and Shakal Pe Mat Ja. However, none of her films worked at the box office and were major commercial failures. After a series of flop films, she made a comeback to the small screen with the show Hongey Judaa Na Hum, featuring opposite Raqesh Bapat. But, the TV series recorded very low TRPs and was taken off the air within six months. In 2013, Aamna Sharif moved away from limelight and tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Amit Kapoor, a film producer. The couple welcomed their first child, son Arain, in 2015. The duo keeps sharing pictures on social media, while celebrating both Karwa Chauth and Eid, reflecting how they embrace both Hinduism and Islam. After going on a hiatus for six years after her wedding, Aamna Sharif made a return in 2019 with Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, which was a reboot version of the iconic 2001 TV show. She played the role of the popular antagonist Komolika Chaubey, originally played by Urvashi Dholakia, replacing Hina Khan in the portrayal. Recently, the actor starred in two web series in 2022 – Damaged Season 3 on Hungama Play and Aadha Ishq on Voot Select.

How Dinshah Sanjana's band Divya lent sparkle to Indo-jazz fusion
India's jazz community will know composer and keyboardist Dinshah Sanjana as the man behind the fusion group Divya, which hit the headlines in 1987 with the album Madras Café, and gained acclaim for the follow-up Kumbhamela a decade later. Having moved from Mumbai to Los Angeles in 1999, he continued with music production and instrument retail, but his dream was to create tunes close to his heart. Dinshah has thus tied up with drummer Matthew Baker to release the jazz-fusion album 369 Hertz, under the name Freakquency. Containing 12 tracks, it has been put out by Moment Music, which he and Baker launched 12 years ago. The line-up is a mix of musician-friends he made during his stay in the U.S. and artistes he met online. The Indian musicians include sarod player Praashekh Borkar and Roshan Mandayam, who appear on the tune 'Nayan', and Hari Kumar Sivan, who plays on the title track. 'These two pieces are a nod to my past, but on the others, I have used music from different parts of the world. I wanted to use my friend Shekhar Borkar on the sarod, but his son Praashekh, now based in Perth, Australia, is more used to the digital methodology,' says Dinshah. 'Nayan' has elements of raag Sindhu Bhairavi on the sarod and violin, it also features Afro-Cuban American harp player Radha Botofasina. The title track uses the Carnatic raga Vasanta Bhairavi. Explaining the album's name, the composer says, 'The numbers three, six and nine are considered sacred — they represent creation, growth and completion or enlightenment. Since we call ourselves Freakquency, the title 369 Hertz went perfectly with our sound.' Dinshah had started writing the songs in 2019, but things got stalled because of the pandemic. He faced some health issues, and after recovering, got down to the album. He says, 'I wrote all the compositions and Matthew, the rhythm arrangements. We have known each other for over 20 years. During lockdown, we interacted virtually with many musicians. There was this fantastic Russian bassist Anton Davidyants, who readily agreed to play on a few tracks. Some musicians were from Los Angeles, whereas others from Munich or Paris.' First virtual collaboration It was the first time Dinshah worked virtually. He explains, 'I am used to musicians sitting with me in the studio, discussing and improvising, rather than going back and forth through files. But one has to change with the times.' Dinshah has been involved with music since the early 1980s. Besides Divya, he was associated with bands Ji Whiz, Holy Smoke and Ultimatum. His preference was always jazz and fusion. Divya was formed by Dinshah and Sandhya Sanjana with a view to fuse jazz with Indian elements. They recorded their first album Madras Café in 1986 and released it the following year. It was recognised for its balance of sounds and technical wizardry. Besides Dinshah, it featured Roy Venkatraman on the guitar, C.P. Sriram on the violin, Shernol Mathias on the bass, Fazal Qureshi on the tabla, Bondo Fernandes on the percussion and Sridhar Parthasarathy on the mridangam, with vocal inputs by Sandhya Sanjana and Shankar Mahadevan. The album is now available on the streaming platforms through Sony Music. With the organisation Jazz India promoting local artistes, Divya got a chance to perform at the John Coltrane Jazz Festival in Los Angeles, after the great saxophonist's wife Alice Coltrane saw them play in Poland. Besides the US and Europe, they toured Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and the erstwhile Soviet Union. 'Jazz India's Niranjan Jhaveri helped us get a lot of shows abroad. The late 1980s and early 1990s were good for the kind of music we made, but by the end of the decade, Bollywood and some Indipop were the only things that were being pushed,' he points out. Divya's line-up kept varying, and newer entrants included mridangam player Viveick Rajagopalan and drummer Sanjay Maroo. In 1998, the line-up had Dinshah, Sandhya Sanjana, guitarist Paresh Kamath, bassist Naresh Kamath, American saxophonist Carl Clements, kanjira player Selva Ganesh and drummer Kurt Peters. Dinshah and Sandhya also recorded a soundtrack album for the UK's Channel 4 series Ramayana: A Journey. Dinshah's latest project Freakquency has obviously given him a new high. He's also happy with the quality of independent music that's coming out in India these days. He says, 'It may be a good time to collaborate with some younger musicians here. I'm also thinking of releasing Kumbhamela digitally.'
