Actor-filmmaker Divya Khosla Kumar held an AMA where she criticised Bollywood and answered if she and T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar have been divorced.
Reddit can be merciless, especially to Bollywood people. Actor-filmmaker Divya Khosla Kumar — who had recently taken on filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt and leaked their private conversation on social media — now did an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, taking questions on being a part of Bollywood and what is her marital status with husband Bhushan Kumar, who owns the T-Series’ behemoth. She also shared videos on Reddit to prove that it was indeed she who was taking the questions and not her PR team.
‘Bollywood is full of crocodiles’
Divya called ‘Bollywood full of crocodiles’ after a user asked her about the perceived toxicity in the industry.”How do you maintain your mental health amidst all the toxicity in Bollywood, pressure to look a certain way and many such stuff? You always seem very positive and childlike innocent to me,” they asked. Replying to the question, Divya said, “I myself feel that Bollywood is a place where there are crocodiles all around and you feel like you are navigate your way through it (sic).
“I think the most imp thing is to remain true to your own self. I will never sell my soul to get work. Hota hai toh theek hai nahi hota toh bhi theek hai (If it happens fine, if it doesn’t happen, it’s still fine), and what’s more important is when you reach up you should have good slate of karma to carry with you,” she added.
‘Media wants my divorce with Bhushan Kumar’
When asked by a user if she and Bhushan Kumar, who is the chairman and managing director of T-Series, Divya denied it.”No, But the media really wants it,” she said.
‘No surgery’
Answering if she has gone under the knife and has got any surgery done, Divya said, “Nai baba, no surgery”. She also replied to comments that she has altered her age to appear younger. She dismissed the negativity, saying, “What should I do? Put it on Instagram”.
Divya Khosla on Satyamev Jayate 2
In answer to another question, she called her recent release Savi her most favourite. “Has to be Savi. The most amazing shoot in the UK was almost minus 10 degrees for 42 days non-stop. But the production was so well organised that it set a benchmark for me to compare Savi set experience with all my other movies,” she answered.
She also addressed her Koi Chatur Naar co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh. “He is very down to earth and a great co-star. My first meeting with him was at CM’s house at Ganpati last year. He really praised my work in Savi and I was very thankful to him for that.”
She also remarked on her film Satyamev Jayate 2 co-starring John Abraham. “Ma’am while acting in movies don’t you actors realize that the script lacks in a lot of ways??? I feel Satyameva Jayate 2 could have been better story wise so that’s why I’m asking!” Her answer was; “There’s a lot that happens on the edit table, at times there’s a difference between the script and the final product.”
