She said that sh🃏e got the opportunity with ‘No Entry’ that helped her move away from glamorous roles. The actor said, “That moment came when I did ‘No Entry’. It gave me the opportunity to first step into the comic genre and maybe realize that it was something I was really good at. It gave me the chance to consciously break away from a certain image.”

Dutta mentioned how she was offered two roles in the Aneez Bazmee directorial. She said that she chose that role which was different from how she is as a person in real life.

That then set me up for quite a few years for what I did and gave me the opportunity to work with some of the best directors in our indus💛try. It cemented my reputation as an actress.”
