Currently in home quarantine, the actress is suffering only mild symptoms. However, as a precaution, the diva has decided to put all her work commitments on hold for the time being.

Recently, actress Shilpa Shirodkar also tested positive for COVID-19.

Informing about this, the 'Bigg Boss 18' contestant, wrote on the Internet. "Hello people! I've been tested Positive for COVID. Stay Safe and wear your masks," she said.

In the meantime, Dutta shared that she realized her Bollywood dream with Saif Ali Khan's "Jewel Thief".

Revealing what she took away from the heist drama, Dutta said, "I've been part of Sid Anand's world, which I feel is a huge thing because I mean, I feel as an actor, especially as a female actress, I would say. I don't think I've lived the classic Bollywood heroine tag, which, thanks to you and Mamta, I have gotten this opportunity to play the classic Bollywood heroine. And I'm not saying just because you're going to see me dancing. It's just overall to get the heroine feeling. I think I've gotten that from this film. So that's my takeaway from being a part of Sid Anand's world with this film."
