This, as Dutta says, “was the dream coming true” moment for her.
Being a musical, Dutta not only got to showcase her acting prowess in the play, but she also danced and sang alongside and this gave her immense exposure and
confidence.
Her tryst with the TV screen came soon after when she was selected to play the role of Tasneem in Mira Nair’s web series ‘A Suitable Boy’, based on a Vikram Seth novel of the same name.
Apart from Tabu, the six-episode web series featured a number of talented actors like Ram Kapoor, Rashika Duggal, Tanya Maniktala, and Ishaan Khatter among others.
Joyeeta’s dream is to work in good cinemas with good directors and actors and she wants to make a mark in the industry.
