Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh faced severe criticism from a section of the audience for promoting misogyny and toxic masculinity. However, this 2019 film starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in lead roles changed their career graph forever.
Actress Nikita Dutta, who was a part of the film starring Shahid and Kiara, recently shared her experience of losing projects despite the success of the film.
Nikita Dutta opens up about her short-lived success after Kabir Singh
Recently during an interview with Hindustan Times, Nikita Dutta revealed that she did not focus on public relations after the release of Kabir Singh.
Nikita said, “There is a lot of PR machinery that pushes you. And maybe that is something I did not pay much attention to after Kabir Singh released.”
“I am not saying I didn’t get my due; everyone played their best, maybe I didn’t play that well at that time,” she said.
Kabir Singh actress had 5 films in her hand, know what happened
In the same interview, Nikita Dutta was asked if she also got a career boost like Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani after the success of Kabir Singh.
Nikita agreed, saying that she had five films lined up after the film’s success at the box office in 2019. However, everything got messed up due to the nationwide lockdown.
The Kabir Singh actress shared that two of her films were postponed, two of them were shifted from theatrical to OTT release and one film’s release was postponed for three years.

Back in 2019, Nikita Dutta spoke to Pinkvilla about receiving recognition after the massive success of Kabir Singh.
The Big Bull actress expressed that the Shahid and Kiara-starrer worked in her favour and said she was intrigued by the 2019 film as its second part came as a “ray of light” amid the darkness.
After Kabir Singh, Nikita Dutta worked in films like The Big Bull, Gold, Dybbuk, Maska and Lust Stories. Nikita has Saif Ali Khan’s film Jewel Thief. Now she is making her Marathi debut with her upcoming film Gharat Ganpati.
