Divya Dutta shared her views on marriage.

Divya Dutta on not getting married

Talking about her views on marriage, Divya said, “If you find a good partner, it's great to be married. If not, life moves on beautifully. It's better to nurture yourself than stay in a dysfunctional marriage. Rather than lowering yourself in a relationship, it's better to love yourself. There’s a lot of male attention coming my way and I enjoy that, but a relationship should happen when you connect. You feel that the person can hold your hand. If that isn’t there, I have many lovely friends around me, and I am there for myself.”

She further expressed that she doesn't want to get married and said, “I don’t want to get married, but I would love to have a companion with whom I can travel. And if not, then I’m still happy. You know, my best friend sent me a quote — a person asks, ‘Why are you single? You are beautiful, attractive, caring,’ and I say, ‘I think I’m overqualified.’ There comes a time when you look for completeness outside, which is not necessary. It’s not necessary that you’ll only be complete when a good partner enters your life. I used to have that misconception. I used to wear my heart on my sleeve — but not anymore.”
