ON the 20th anniversary of Veer-Zaara, actor Divya Dutta reminisced about her experience working with the late Yash Chopra, calling him her “most favourite filmmaker.”

Dutta, who portrayed Shabbo in the film, said the opportunity to work with Chopra came seven years after she entered the industry, having initially been introduced through a talent hunt where Chopra served as a judge.

Recalling her early aspirations, Dutta shared, “I used to think ‘Wow, I am starting out with Yash Chopra’. I used to imagine he would say ‘You are so good, I will take you in my next film,’ but no such thing happened.”

She finally worked with Chopra in Veer-Zaara, a film she remembers fondly as a dream realised. “To be on the sets of Yash Chopra was a dream come true. That grandeur, love, and affection… The film’s first shot was my first shot too,” she said.
