BIOGRAPHY

Tanushree Dutta (born 1985) is an actress and Miss India 2004.

Tanushree was born and raised in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand state (then Bihar), and did her graduation in communications in Pune, Maharashtra.

She was placed among the top ten in the Miss Universe contest of 2004.

She debuted in Bollywood in 2005. She worked on two films together Chocolate and Aashiq Banaya Apne. Chocolate was intended to be her debut film, however its release was preceded by Aashiq Banaya Apne, which led to differences with the Chocolate director Vivek Agnihotri.

Dutta, a dusky B Com second year student from Pune University, bagged the coveted crown amidst stiff competition from 29 contestants who were chosen from about 6,000 girls from all over the country.

The ceremony, held at the sprawling Bandra-Kurla Complex, saw Lakshmi Pandit, a Mumbai-based classical dancer walking away with the Miss India World title.

Tanushree's reply to actor Sanjay Dutt's question in the final round, whether there was a healthy competition when only one wins, won her the crown.

The audience broke into applause when she replied, "When there is unhealthy competition verybody is a loser."
