Bollywood actor Tanushree Datta, who did not have a single release in 2009, says the decision was deliberate as she needed a break, and it has not affected her career at all.

"After my debut in 2005, I had done almost 15 films till 2008, with Saas Bahu and Sensex being the last. Hence, I thought it was time to slow down," Tanushree Datta, fresh after a self-imposed year-long hibernation, said.
"I needed time to take a break and think about my career and come back with a better perspective," she told PTI.
So, after Saas.., I decided to take it easy and rest for a while. That's why even media interactions were stopped.
"Surprisingly, it has not at all affected my career. Though I had release per se in 2009, I was busy doing stage shows and endorsements as I have a lot of hit songs to my credit," she said.
Meanwhile, after a gap of 6-8 months I also started getting offers which really interested men, the 'Aashiq Banaya Apne' actor said.
