Divya Dutta refuses to be called as 'supporting actor', shares her thoughts

Divya Dutta took to Twitter in order to communicate that she is not fond of the label "supporting actor" and opines that she is an actor in its entirety. In a series of tweets, Divya conveys what she thinks about the term while she also addresses the double standard as she says that when male actors take up what she terms as a supporting role, they are called versatile, but that very same term is used in a relatively negative way when it is used in connection to female actors.

Ever since Divya Dutta made her debut with the 1994 film Ishq Mein Jeena Ishq Mein Marna, she has gone on to play a myriad of characters that can be said to be quite different from one another.

Recently, she was seen in feature presentations like Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Manto, the late Irrfan Khan's Blackmail, the Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah-starrer Irada, for which she won her first National Film Award for the Best Supporting Actress, and Fanney Khan, a film which also starred Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, to name a few.
