Divya Agarwal Breaks Silence on Divorce Rumors and Separate Living Arrangement
Reality television star Divya Agarwal, known for winning shows like Ace Of Space and Bigg Boss OTT, has finally addressed the persistent divorce rumors surrounding her marriage to husband Apurva Padgaonkar. In an exclusive interview, the actress confirmed they currently live in separate houses but emphasized this arrangement is purely for practical work-related reasons.
Separate Living for Career Convenience
"Yes, right now, we live in separate houses but it is for work," Divya revealed. "I stay close to my workplace, and he lives near his. He usually finishes work around 2 a.m., and it wouldn't be practical for him to drive all the way from Navi Mumbai to Goregaon at that time because it's a long and tiring journey."
The actress explained that her shoots often occur in distant locations like Virar, Naigaon, and Madh, which are far from Chembur where her husband resides. Despite the physical separation, she clarified that they continue to meet regularly and maintain their relationship dynamic. "We still meet like girlfriend and boyfriend," she shared.
Career Focus and Mutual Support
Divya expressed gratitude for having a supportive partner who understands the demands of her acting career. "I'm grateful to have a husband who understands and supports my career," she said. The couple has made a conscious decision to prioritize their professional growth for the next decade. "For now, we have decided to focus on our careers for the next ten years. We are still young and excited about our work, so that's our priority at the moment."
Looking ahead, Divya mentioned they do plan to eventually live together, build a home, and enjoy a more settled life. However, she acknowledged that her personal life has always attracted significant public attention. "My dating life and marriage have always been a topic of discussion. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but my personal life has always attracted a lot of attention, and people seem very curious about it."
Disappointing Experience on 'The 50'
Beyond addressing her marital situation, Divya also opened up about her recent elimination from the reality show 'The 50'. The actress admitted she didn't connect with the show's format as she had with previous competitions. "With 'The 50', I didn't feel the same connection. I couldn't enjoy it the way I usually do, and I didn't feel that strong desire to win the trophy or move ahead in the competition," she confessed.
Divya explained that the show's alliance-based gameplay created challenges. "Once the sides were decided, everyone stayed with their alliance, and it became very difficult for anyone to switch or play differently. In that situation, surviving in the show was not easy."
Despite her early exit, Divya expressed satisfaction with protecting her relationships on the show. "I've won many shows before, but I haven't always made strong bonds there. For the first time, people in a show are loving me, and that means a lot. So I'm satisfied and I have no regrets."
Handling Persistent Rumors
The actress shared how she and her family have learned to cope with the constant divorce speculation. "Even if I explain it many times, people still won't believe it. They keep waiting for news about my divorce," she said with resignation.
Divya revealed that the rumors have become so commonplace that even her in-laws have developed a sense of humor about them. "The rumors have spread so much that now I don't even worry about my in-laws reacting to them. They see headlines about Divya and Apurva getting divorced almost every day, and now they just laugh it off and say it has become a regular thing."
In a candid moment, she even suggested she might leverage the persistent rumors for professional purposes. "So sometimes I feel that if such rumours continue, I might as well use them to promote a big project of mine. Maybe then the trolling will change."
Divya Agarwal's frank discussion provides rare insight into the challenges reality stars face in balancing personal relationships with public scrutiny while navigating demanding entertainment careers.
