Veteran Bollywood actress Divya Dutta, who has charmed the audience with her compelling performances in films like Veer Zaara and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, recently opened up about a personal decision that has intrigued many—why she chose to stay single at 47.
While Divya has received immense love for her powerful on-screen portrayals, her real-life story is just as inspiring. In a candid interview, the actress revealed why she never walked down the aisle and how she embraces self-love over a compromised relationship.
“Marriage Is Great If You Find the Right Partner. If Not, Life Still Goes On Beautifully.”
In a heartfelt conversation with Hindi Rush, Divya shared her mature take on relationships and marriage. She emphasized that marriage is not the only route to fulfillment and happiness in life.
“If you find a good partner, it’s great to be married. If not, life moves on beautifully,” she said.
The actress believes in nurturing oneself rather than staying stuck in a toxic or dysfunctional marriage. She encourages others to prioritize self-respect and mental well-being over societal expectations.
Why She Chose Not To Get Married: “Maine Bahut Galat Haath Pakde Hai…”
When asked about her decision to remain unmarried, Divya offered a raw and honest response:
“Kyunki mai ne bahut galat haath pakde hai… Trial and error learning hoti hai zindagi mein. I used to believe in that Yash Chopra, Karan Johar kind of romance, with Karwa Chauth and all that. But then I realized—completeness should come from within.”
She admitted that she once longed for a dreamy, filmy love life, but through life’s lessons and experiences, she realized the importance of finding peace within herself first.
“I’m Open To Companionship, But Not Compromise”
While Divya does not dismiss the idea of companionship, she clarified that she’s not in a rush to settle for someone who doesn’t truly connect with her.
“There’s a lot of male attention, and I enjoy that. But a relationship should happen when there’s a real connection. If that isn’t there, I have wonderful friends, and I am always there for myself.”
A Look At Her Past: Engagement & Heartbreak
Divya has been through a broken engagement, which perhaps also contributed to her guarded stance on marriage. But instead of letting the experience break her, she chose healing and self-love.
