Divya Dutta: Hostages 2 is a great binge watch option
Divya Dutta, Dino Morea, Kanwaljeet Singh, Shweta Basu Prasad and Shibani Dandekar have joined the team of Hostages in Season 2.

The second season of Hostages is now streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar VIP. In season 2, the tables will turn as the kidnapper will turn into a hostage. While Ronit Roy is reprising the role of SP Prithvi Singh, the latest season will see new cast members. Actors Divya Dutta, Dino Morea, Kanwaljeet Singh, Shweta Basu Prasad and Shibani Dandekar have joined the team of Hostages.
In a recent interaction with indianexpress.com, Hostages 2 actor Divya Dutta spoke candidly about the show. The trailer gave a glimpse of Divya’s character of a negotiator in a hostage situation, which is quite a rare part for female actors. She shared, “This was the part of a woman who is in charge. We don’t usually have women as negotiators, even though they come with a little emotional and sensitive edge.”
Even though Divya joined Hostages in the second season, she has been a fan of the show since before. She shared, “I saw the first season and was taken by it instantly. What really intrigued me was that throughout the show, Ronit was masked, and we could only see his eyes. To hold the audience’s attention, create the chill and excitement with just that was amazing. Since I liked it so much, it left me thinking as to why I wasn’t part of it. I was also really excited about the second part.”
“Later, I met Sudhir Mishra (series director) and everything fell in place. I like working with people I am comfortable with. We didn’t meet each other quite often but would keep bumping into each other. It was so much fun shooting that I was like an excited child on set, and would come back home smiling every day. It was a blast working on Hostages 2. Not just as an actor but also as a person. It was a wonderful experience,” shared the actor.
Since the first season of the show was a success, we asked Divya Dutta if there’s pressure to deliver for the new team. Flaunting her trademark smile, the actor replied, “Not at all. We are all newcomers on the show. The first part was super successful and entertaining. And I am sure, the audience will like this season too. It has much more to offer, in terms of thrill and action. It’s also edgier and has a lot more people, with a lot more things happening. Honestly, there is no pressure, just excitement.”
Lastly, the actor shared that during this unprecedented time, when everyone is stressed out, Hostages 2 could be the perfect break. “We are all living in very stressful times and the show would be a great distraction. It’s a great binge-watch option. Watch it multiple times and even get your family and friends to also watch,” concluded Divya.
