Divya Dutta reveals why she doesn't want to get married despite ‘a lot' of male attention: ‘I think I'm overqualified'

Among Bollywood stars like Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen, who have chosen to remain unmarried, is actor Divya Dutta. In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Divya opened up about her decision not to marry and shared her wish to have a meaningful companionship instead. (Also Read: Divya Dutta says 'don't forget her hits' as she defends 'incredible actor' Rashmika Mandanna amid criticism for Chhaava) Talking about her views on marriage, Divya 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.' She further expressed that she doesn't want to get married and said, 'I don't want to get married, but I would love to have a companion with whom I can travel. And if not, then I'm still happy. You know, my best friend sent me a quote — a person asks, 'Why are you single? You are beautiful, attractive, caring,' and I say, 'I think I'm overqualified.' There comes a time when you look for completeness outside, which is not necessary. It's not necessary that you'll only be complete when a good partner enters your life. I used to have that misconception. I used to wear my heart on my sleeve — but not anymore.' Divya was last seen in the film Chhaava. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film featured Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, along with Akshaye Khanna as Emperor Aurangzeb and Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai Bhonsale. The film was a massive success, earning ₹807.88 crore worldwide, and is now available to stream on Netflix. She will next be seen in Nastik, co-starring Arjun Rampal. Directed by Shailesh Verma, the film also features Ihana Dhillon and Harshaali Malhotra. The release date is yet to be announced.

India's biggest flop film released 18 years ago, saw debut of 2 star kids, made in Rs 45 crore, earned just Rs..., lead actors were..., movie is...

India's biggest flop film released 18 years ago, saw debut of 2 star kids, made in Rs 45 crore, earned just Rs..., lead actors were..., movie is... Ranbir Kapoor made his Bollywood debut in the 2007 film Saawariya . The film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali also marked the Hindi debut of Sonam Kapoor. While movie brought together an ensemble cast, it failed to become a commercial as well as a critical success. Made in a budget of Rs 45 crore, Saawariya earned a modest Rs 39.22 crore. At the time, the film clashed with Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om , that marked Deepika Padukone's first Bollywood release. Farah Khan's directorial outperformed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's romantic drama, earning Rs 152 crore worldwide. Moreover, it also surpassed Aditya Chopra's Dhoom 2 at that time. Coming to Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor-starrer Saawariya, the film received mixed to negative reviews when released. While the artistic vision, soundtrack, production, songs and performances were praised, the story and screenplay lacked the depth and faced significant criticism. Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji also made their cameo appearances, and the film also marked the last appearance of both Zohra Sehgal and Begum Para before their demises. Reflecting on Sawariya's failure, Ranbir told IANS, 'My first film itself was a very big disaster, the disaster-ness was celebrated but somewhere as an actor and artiste I had a deep conviction that flops and hits won't matter to me. That gave me confidence.' He added, 'I have never felt competitive towards anybody. I have never felt that I am better or worse than anybody. I feel like I am running my own race. I feel like I have very strong views on how and what I want to do in my life, the kind of films I want to do. 'The kind of characters I want to portray and of course I am going to see a lot of failures.' Before becoming a huge Bollywood actor, Ranbir used to work behind-the-scenes as an assistant director for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the 2005 film Black, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji.
