Trishala Dutt once toyed with the idea of joining Bollywood, but not for the spotlight. Speaking on the Inside Thoughts Out Loud Podcast, she admitted it stemmed from a far more personal place: wanting to be closer to her father, Sanjay Dutt. “I did think about that when I was younger. I just wanted to be closer to my dad,” she said, recalling a phase where proximity mattered more than passion. Her father, however, offered a reality check wrapped in experience. “He’s been through hell and back. ‘Is this your calling?’” That question clearly stuck. Instead of chasing films, Trishala chose a different script — one rooted in mental health, carving out her own identity far from the shadow of cinema.
