Bollywood actor Divya Dutta, who played the role of Shabina Ibrahim, the best friend of Preity Zinta in Veer Zaara<\/em>, recently revealed that she initially feared the role might typecast her as the perennial \u201cheroine’s best friend\u201d. \u201cI was sitting at the movie’s premiere holding my mother’s hand. It’s a Yash Chopra film, so the whole world would be watching it. I enjoyed it a lot. But, at the same time, I was worried I would be stereotyped as the best friend of all heroines in the industry. There is a herd mentality in our industry. Everyone runs after the one who looks good and leaves the rest behind,\u201d she said during a chat with Siddharth Kannan.<\/p>\nShe continued, \u201cAt the time of the movie’s interval, I ran away holding my mother’s hand. Mumma said she was very proud of me for the performance. I said, \u2018Thank you, Mumma, even I am loving being a part of this film.’ When we stepped out, I hid a little behind her. I didn’t want to hear any friend calling me because my dream was to become a \u2018Yash Chopra heroine’. While I was hiding there, Yash uncle saw me and called me over. As I went up to him, I was crowded and surrounded by people.\u201d<\/p>\n
