Nikita Dutta’s father is an officer in the Indian Navy. As a child, her life revolved around shuttling from one naval base to the other, making friends all over again with random strangers and then saying goodbye to them when another transfer took place. She came to Mumbai to study at St. Xavier’s College, and graduated in Economics. She took part in the Miss India pageant along the way and was one of the finalists in 2012. Being part of Miss India got her noticed and she soon picked up roles in popular television shows like Ek Duje Ke Vaaste, Haasil, Dream Girl and more before venturing into Bollywood. Her debut film was Lekar Hum Deewana Dil (2014) but she got noticed for her role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh (2019). The film went on to become a blockbuster and changed many lives. One of them was Nikita’s. Says she, “People finally started recognising my work post Kabir Singh. I got offered many good projects after its release. In terms of films, it did end up being a turning point for me.” Talking about her Kabir Singh co-star Shahid Kapoor, she says she admires him for the way he got into the character. She observed Shahid on the sets and tried to learn from him. “We didn’t interact much but I found him to be an easygoing co-star. Overall, it was fab working with him as I learnt so much from the experience.”
Abhishek just kind of lightens everybody’s mood around him. He doesn’t have any airs around him, neither does he throw any tantrums. He is humble as a human being. He’s very humorous, always pulling people’s legs. He’s calm and doesn’t lose patience
