Trishala Dutt is the daughter of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and late Richa Sharma. Trishala (a.k.a. Trish) was born and raised in New York and lives with her maternal grandparents.

Trishala, who is right now staying in New York at her maternal grand parent’s house, has said that she is sure to make her career in Bollywood, despite dad Sanjay disapproving her decision. “He does not approve of me working in Bollywood. Till now we did not get an opportunity to sit and talk to each other about the matter and understand each other’s views,” Trishala said.

She adds that she wants to find her own way into the industry by her own merit. Inspired by her grandfather, Sunil Dutt, Trishala would like to gain her fame through hard work and not nepotism. Perhaps this is why she is beginning her acting career in New York before coming to India. "I joined Atlantic Theater Acting School to pursue my passion for acting. I might be joining NY Film Academy as they will be taking students to India for an intensive course on filmmaking. One must understand all aspects of the business."
