The Irada actor said that it is interesting that the people who have rejected her previously came back to her a few years after with better roles. She even told the portal that she never had a role which was ‘author-backed’ and so she had to make the best out of the roles that she received. She had to give it that ‘X-factor’ to the roles because she wanted people to know about her.

Divya Dutta went on to say that she took rejections by stride whenever they came. In the last 7 to 8 years, Dutta believes that things have changed. She stated that she was an 'underrated actor' and that things gradually changed for her. She went on to say that people want to see good actors and that there is a huge audience for it now.
