Introduction

Tanushree in Femina Miss
 India Universe (2004)

Tanushree Dutta is the recipient of Femina Miss India Universe title in 2004. During the same year at the Miss Universe beauty pageant, she was amongst the top ten Finalists. Starting her career at only sixteen years of age, Tanushree Dutta had been working hard for over a decade when she decided to take a sabbatical leave, which lasted until the end of 2012. As a part of her journey, she rediscovered herself as she travelled, pursued her personal interests such as yoga, adventurous sports, and even decided to shave her head in the name of spirituality during her trip toLadakh. She states, "To take break from pressure, the ruthless people, heartbreaks and heartburns, I've taken this decision. And, this will hide my identity too during public travel". Though her decision to shave her head was 'to hide her public identity', this act of hers was widely publicized.

Tanushree has a younger sister Ishita Dutta, who is currently acting as the main lead in the serial Ek Ghar Banaunga, an Indian soap opera airing on Star Plus.

This victory also allowed for her successful entry in the Bollywood Industry, as she started receiving offers to play lead roles thereafter. She made her Bollywood debut in 2005, appearing in Chocolate and Aashiq Banaya Apne. Though Chocolate received mild reviews, the box office success of Aashiq Banaya Apne, accompanied by its hit music proved to be a perfect launch for Tanushree in Bollywood.^[6] She also did a music video, "Saiyan Dil Mein Aana Re" by Harry Anand.

After the release of Ramaa: The Saviour in November 2010, Dutta "went on a self imposed sabbatical for two and a half years".Tanushree returned in spring of 2013 with stunning appearances at several high profile media and red carpet events.
