Talking about her views on marriage, Divya said, 'If you find a good partner, it's great to be married. If not, life moves on beautifully. It's better to nurture yourself than stay in a dysfunctional marriage. Rather than lowering yourself in a relationship, it's better to love yourself. There's a lot of male attention coming my way and I enjoy that, but a relationship should happen when you connect. You feel that the person can hold your hand. If that isn't there, I have many lovely friends around me, and I am there for myself.'
She further expressed that she doesn't want to get married and said, 'I don't want to get married, but I would love to have a companion with whom I can travel. And if not, then I'm still happy. You know, my best friend sent me a quote — a person asks, 'Why are you single? You are beautiful, attractive, caring,' and I say, 'I think I'm overqualified.' There comes a time when you look for completeness outside, which is not necessary. It's not necessary that you'll only be complete when a good partner enters your life. I used to have that misconception. I used to wear my heart on my sleeve — but not anymore.'
Divya was last seen in the film Chhaava. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film featured Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, along with Akshaye Khanna as Emperor Aurangzeb and Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai Bhonsale. The film was a massive success, earning ₹807.88 crore worldwide, and is now available to stream on Netflix.
She will next be seen in Nastik, co-starring Arjun Rampal. Directed by Shailesh Verma, the film also features Ihana Dhillon and Harshaali Malhotra. The release date is yet to be announced.

Netflix's latest update has fans rethinking their subscriptions: Here's why
Netflix users have been left confused and frustrated after the streaming service rolled out a major update to its interface. The redesigned app, which began gradually launching worldwide on May 19, introduced noticeable changes to the layout and navigation, catching many subscribers off guard as they logged in this week. Also Read: Carnival Cruise bans several passengers after onboard brawl: Here's what went down Netflix has been promoting its new design as a path to bring forward 'better recommendations and an improved interface that highlights what matters most to you". The streaming service insists that the new interface will result in a 'clean and modern' look for viewers, along with personalized suggestions and shortcuts leading to more apt recommendations for subscribers, as reported by the Manchester Evening News. However, a significant number of Netflix's 300 million subscribers have taken to social media to voice their dissatisfaction with the new interface, with some even threatening to cancel their subscriptions in protest, as reported by The Mirror. The backlash has sparked the launch of a petition, where frustrated users are calling on the streaming giant to revert to its previous layout. The petition's description strongly criticizes the redesign. The petition read, 'The new layout only allows users to see a sparse selection of 3 or 4 titles per screen, compared to the previously user-friendly layout of 20 or more titles. This change not only limits variety and accessibility but also diminishes the ease-of-use Netflix was renowned for." Eunice Kim, who is the chief product officer of Netflix, explained the redesign in May. She said, 'We wanted to create an experience that was more flexible for our broad entertainment offerings, more intuitive and responsive to our members' needs, and capable of elevating the most thrilling moments on Netflix.'

Another user wrote in a rant, "New Netflix ui update is fucking terrible, the enshittification of everything continues Worst part is the my list feature, I can't even look at my list properly, demoted to a horizontal scrolling screen instead of the whole screen Whose bright idea was this?" One user wrote, 'This new Netflix update is ugly as f***.' A user on Reddit wrote, "My TV updated to it automatically this week after putting off the update for ages, now it's a load of rubbish. Will be cancelling [my] subscription."

Building the Band OTT Release Date: When and where to watch musical show ft. Liam Payne's final appearance
Building the Band OTT Release Date: This is a new musical reality series that asks a simple question: Can you form a successful band without ever seeing your bandmates? Building the Band is set to release on Netflix starting July 9, 2025, with 10 episodes rolling out across three weeks. Here's all you need to know! What is the show about? In Building the Band, a group of singers enters a competition to form the next great music group. The twist? They won't see each other until after the bands are formed. Contestants perform alone in sound booths and choose potential bandmates based only on their voices and musical compatibility. The goal is to create groups built purely on talent and connection, not on visuals or image. Once the bands are formed, the real test begins. The singers meet face-to-face for the first time, rehearse, choreograph, and prepare for performances. The show follows them through every stage, from blind auditions to rehearsals to final showcases, as they try to prove that chemistry in music can come before appearances. Building the Band starts with solo performances in isolation booths, like that of 24-year-old Donzell from Arkansas, who sings Labrinth's 'Jealous.' Their identities remain hidden until the groups are formed, making the process focused purely on sound and potential. The release is structured over three weeks: July 9 – Episodes 1 to 4 July 16 – Episodes 5 to 7 July 23 – Episodes 8 to 10 The host, judge and mentors Building the Band is hosted by AJ McLean, known for being part of the Backstreet Boys. Nicole Scherzinger leads as judge and mentor, drawing on her own experience in a pop group. Guest appearances include Kelly Rowland, offering her perspective from her time in Destiny's Child. The show also features the late Liam Payne as a guest judge. His segments were filmed before his passing and have been included with the approval of his family. This marks his final on-screen appearance.
