It was once claimed by Lara Dutta that she turned down a part in the The Matrix movie series starring Keanu Reeves because of this.
Millions of people have enjoyed Lara Dutta’s work in Bollywood in the early 2000s and 2010s. The actress is currently slaying the OTT globe with her exceptional performances following a sabbatical.

Lara, the only other Indian to win Miss Universe in 2000, took home the title. Lara quickly rose to fame after her significant victory but didn’t make her Bollywood debut until 2003.
After winning the 2000 beauty contest, Lara Dutta took a brief hiatus before starting her acting career. Several Bollywood A-listers, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Irrfan Khan, and others, have collaborated with the actress. With a number of web programmes, she has now excelled in the OTT space as well.
Lara Dutta has received recognition for her brilliant career from both Bollywood and OTT, but she has also been offered the chance to add Hollywood to her resume. The actress, however, showed that she is a loving daughter by staying with her unwell mother. The actress talked openly about the occasion when she declined to participate in Keanu Reeves’ Matrix movie series last year.
Lara Dutta said, “Of course, it was a tough time. I had not even started out in Bollywood. But I was very clear about what I wanted in life. Everything else came second, I just had to be with my mother at the time. I did not even think twice and came back to India. And, it wasn’t like I came here thinking we have Bollywood (as a backup since I gave up on a huge Hollywood opportunity).” “I just had to be with my mother at the time since she was unwell, extremely unwell. Therefore, I did not even think twice and came back to India,” she added. However, not Lara but Priyanka Chopra Jonas did join the film’s ensemble for an essential role.
