In a recent conversation, Divya Dutta opened up about certain unknown anecdotes from her life and compared her childhood with that of a 'potboiler' film.
Divya Dutta is one of the superbly talented actresses in the industry. She is a National Award holder and is known for her acting prowess in multiple Hindi, Punjabi, Nepali, Tamil, and Malayalam films. Among this, her performances in Bollywood films like Veer Zaara, Veergati, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Baghban, LOC Kargil and others have etched a special place in the hearts of her millions of fans. Moreover, she has numerous projects in her pipeline, including Bandish Bandits 2, Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, Chhaava, and others.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Divya Dutta revealed that she was a very happy-go-lucky child and opened up about many childhood memories. She revealed that her childhood was much similar to a 'potboiler film'. For the unversed, a potboiler creative work has the main purpose of paying for the creator's daily expenses. Thus, it comes from the term "boil the pot", which means "to provide one's livelihood." Elaborating more about it, Divya explained that her developing years were a mix of everything and walked down the memory lane.

Further, Divya recalled her pre-school days and mentioned that she was admitted to a Punjab government school. Moreover, she narrated an incident from when she was around 4 or 5 years old. She stated that both her parents were doctors and very sophisticated. However, one day, when her father asked her what she learnt in school, Divya abused him with some cuss words that she had learnt from the mischievous kids from her hometown. Soon, her parents understood that she needed to be shifted for a better upbringing and sent her to Delhi, at her aunt’s place, from where she continued her education.
During the same conversation, Divya also opened up about having two infatuations in her life. However, she called it the tragedy of her life. Calling Salman Khan her ‘Prem', she shared that she was made the on-screen sister of both of the heroes, including Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, on whom she had a crush. Divya mentioned that they became friends later. She added:
“I had two infatuations in my life. Dono ka hi mujhe Behan bana dia gaya. It was the tragedy of my life. I mean, of course, but they are beautiful friends now. But there was an infatuation phase where you feel so good. So Salman for me was Prem. So you could not be the sister there. But I was new. It was my second film. So working with Salman was exciting for me. And I must say what a revelation he was. Because he was very helpful on the set. And what do you call it? To look over. One him, one Shahrukh. And I think they were exceptional co-stars that I had.”

Earlier, in an interview with Lallantop, Divya opened up about her first encounter with Salman Khan and said that the meeting did not go as expected. Elaborating on the incident, Divya said that her uncle announced a film, and she started preparing for the movie's muhurat in Punjab. When Divya learnt that her uncle hadn't finalised a heroine, she thought of sitting in the front row, wearing a red dress, in the muhurat ceremony to get noticed by Salman. Unfortunately, Salman did not even glance at her once, which was very disheartening. However, she was able to click a few pictures with the superstar. Finally, Divya's wish was fulfilled when Salman finally noticed her during the shoot of the film, Veergati, in which she portrayed the role of his sister.
