Kabir Singh actress Nikita Dutta talks about losing projects despite film's success; says 'Didn't pay attention to PR machinery'

As a die-hard fan of Nikita Dutta, I have always admired her acting skills and was thrilled when she became a part of the blockbuster film “Kabir Singh” alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani. The movie was a game-changer for all three actors, but it seems that Nikita’s career graph took a different turn post the success of the film.


Some people strongly disapproved of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh (released in 2019), featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani, due to its perceived promotion of misogyny and harmful masculinity. Despite the controversy, this film significantly impacted the careers of its stars.

1. Actress Nikita Dutta, known for her role in the movie starring Shahid and Kiara, recently discussed her struggle of missing out on future projects even after the film’s success.

In her latest conversation with Hindustan Times, Nikita Dutta disclosed that she did not prioritize publicity efforts following the debut of Kabir Singh.

1. “Nikita mentioned that there’s quite a bit of publicity work involved in promoting things, and she admitted she may not have given it as much thought following the release of ‘Kabir Singh.’ “

She acknowledged that others may have excelled during that particular instance, but admitted she might not have played her hand as effectively as them at the time.

During that very interview, Nikita Dutta was inquired about whether she experienced a similar career boost as Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani did following the success of Kabir Singh.

Nikita openly shared that she had five upcoming movies following the 2019 film’s triumph at the box office. Yet, unexpectedly, everything fell apart because of the countrywide lockdown.

As a die-hard admirer, I’ve learned that my beloved actress has encountered some challenges in her cinematic journey. Two of her films were unfortunately put on hold, while another pair transitioned from the big screen to streaming platforms. Remarkably, the release date for one of her projects had to be pushed back a staggering three years.

When Nikita Dutta talked about receiving recognition after Kabir Singh

In 2019, Nikita Dutta shared with TopMob her experience of gaining recognition following the massive success of Kabir Singh.

In her own words, the actress from The Big Bull shared that working on the film with Shahid and Kiara brought positive outcomes for her, and her performance in the second part of the 2019 movie stood out like a beacon of light amidst the shadows.

1. Following my role in Kabir Singh, I’ve had the privilege of working on various films such as The Big Bull, Gold, Dybbuk, Maska, and Lust Stories. Currently, I have a project lined up with Saif Ali Khan titled Jewel Thief. Excitingly, I am also set to make my Marathi cinema debut with an upcoming film called Gharat Ganpati.
