Character roles across Indian cinema

Divya Dutta is an Indian actor whose films include Veer-Zaara, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Irada, for which she received a National Film Award.

A career built through character

Dutta’s work crosses Hindi and Punjabi cinema. Her official biography lists the Punjabi film Shaheed-e-Mohabbat Boota Singh among the works associated with her career.

In Yash Chopra’s Veer-Zaara (2004), she played Shabbo, a role she later discussed when reflecting on memorable parts of her career. She also appeared in Delhi-6.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) placed her in the family story surrounding athlete Milkha Singh: she played his sister. Her other credits include Badlapur and Manto.

Her performance in Irada earned the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress at the 65th awards in 2018, as recorded by India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
