Remember Tanushree Dutta? Here's What The Aashiq Banaya Aapne Actress Is Doing Now
Tanushree was in the news after she shared a video, claiming that she was being harassed at her house.
Remember the actress who starred alongside Emraan Hashmi in Aashiq Banaya Aapne? Yes, we're talking about Tanushree Dutta. Though her Bollywood journey was short, the actress left an indelible mark on audiences with her performances and charm.
Now it has been over a decade since she stepped away from the limelight. But still, fans fondly recall her iconic roles. But besides her on-screen characters, do you know about the actress's family background, personal life, and filmography and that she is still unmarried?
About Tanushree Dutta
Born in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, into a Bengali Hindu family, Tanushree pursued her early education at D.B.M.S. English School. She later attended Savitribai Phule Pune University before diving into the world of modelling. In 2004, her life changed when she won the Femina Miss India title, which catapulted her to national fame. That same year, she represented India at Miss Universe in Ecuador, finishing as the sixth runner-up.
Coming to her Bollywood debut, Tanushree stepped into the entertainment world in 2005 opposite Emraan Hashmi in Aashiq Banaya Aapne. The film made waves for its bold content, and Tanushree quickly became known as the 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne girl." Following this, she has appeared in several notable films like Bhagam Bhag, where she shared the screen with Akshay Kumar, and Dhol, opposite Tusshar Kapoor.
After her appearance in a few Bollywood projects, the 41-year-old ventured into South Indian cinema. She appeared in the 2010 Tamil film Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai, directed by Thiru. The actress starred alongside Vishal, Sarah-Jane Dias, and Neetu Chandra in the film.
She was last seen in the television series SuperCops Vs Super Villains back in 2013. Later, she relocated to the United States, stepping away from the public eye.
Tanushree Dutta's Personal Life
Tanushree's personal life has always intrigued fans. Previously, rumours were rife that she was in a romantic relationship with filmmaker Aditya Datt, who directed her debut film. However, the relationship eventually ended after some time.
In an earlier interview, when the former beauty queen was asked about her views on marriage, Tanushree called it a sacred bond and added, 'I have always known what I want in my family dynamics, in my friendships. I have clarity, so people like me remain single for a long time till there is something very deep or concrete."
Currently, Tanushree is in the news after she came forward with shocking allegations. In an emotional Instagram video, the actress was breaking down in tears, claiming that she is being harassed at her house.
The Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress, visibly distressed, was heard saying, 'I am being harassed in my own home. Mujhe mere hi ghar mein pareshaan kiya jaa raha hai. I just called the cops. They came and asked me to come to the police station to launch a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow or the day after. I am not well. Mujhe itna pareshaan kiya gaya hai pichle 4 to 5 saalon mein."
What's Next?
For now, Tanushree Dutta continues to live life on her terms, away from the glitz of the industry. While she's been away from the lights, camera, and action world for years, fans still hold on to the charm and charisma she brought to the screen in mid-2000s Bollywood. Whether she plans a comeback or stays away from the Bollywood industry remains to be seen.
