But her father Sanjay Dutt refuses
But her father Sanjay Dutt refuses
Don't expect a female Dutt to hit the silver screen. EVER.
And that's just family tradition, by the way. It's nothing personal. Trishala Dutt was quoted a while back in a magazine as saying: "My dad has never said 'no' to me for Bollywood. Yes, I know he would not approve. But he does have a soft spot for me, so I think it will be okay later on." Her dad, Sanjay, however, categorically says, "It's news to me. She hasn't discussed her future plans with me. Anyway, my dad would have been completely against her becoming an actress!"
It is known that Trishala has done her majors in criminal justice and has specialized in forensic science.u00a0 However, few know that she also has dabbled in acting by taking short-term courses with the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.
Dutt says he won't encourage his daughter should she choose to become an actress. "I am not supportive of her becoming an actress," he says, adding, "In the Dutt family line, women have never been actresses - including my sisters Namrata and Priya. My mom (Nargis) gave up acting when she got married and was a devoted mother and housewife and so was Richa (his first wife)."
A source close to Dutt adds, "Sanju is very clear about Trishala notjoining films. He says his dad never allowed daughters Priya and Namrata to become actresses. The late Dutt Sr's wife Nargis was a great actress but once she became a Dutt she left her career at her peak. The same thing happened with Trishala's mother Richa. Whatever little career she had, she had to give up once she became Mrs Dutt. Sanju never allowed Maanayata to pursue an acting career even when they were dating."
Namrata's daughters Sanchi and Sia don't harbour filmi aspirations either. The Dutts have always been very conscious about this and the rule has been laid down for the Dutt women right from the beginning ufffd no acting career. Sanju has even told Maanayata that if they have a daughter, she has to know right from the beginning that an acting career is not an option.
