In a candid Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session, actor-filmmaker Divya Khosla Kumar opened up about her personal and professional life addressing widespread rumours, industry toxicity, and her recent work.
When asked about her view on the film industry’s environment, Divya didn’t hold back. She described the world of Bollywood as “a place where there are crocodiles all around,” arguing that navigating it requires caution, resilience, and above all, integrity. She added that she would “never sell my soul to get work,” and said that while success is welcome, maintaining a “good slate of karma” matters most.
Divya also addressed persistent rumours about her marriage with Bhushan Kumar the head of T-Series.
In addition to personal questions, she spoke about her professional work. She praised the production’s organisation and said the experience set a benchmark for her.
Divya’s openness and direct answers — from rumours to reality to industry critiques — resonated widely. Many believe her statements shine a light on deeper issues in Bollywood: the pressure to conform, fame’s illusions, and how artists often navigate a minefield of expectations, rumours, and compromises. For her, staying true to herself, even at the cost of fewer roles, seems to be her guiding principle.
