Divya Agarwal, who has been a part of several reality shows, revealed the reason behind saying no to Khatron Ke Khiladi.
Divya Agarwal has revealed the reason behind not participating in the Rohit Shetty-hosted show Khatron Ke Khiladi. During a recent live session on social media, the actress spoke about her fans, career choices and post-marriage life. Famous for her fearless appearances on reality series such as Splitsvilla, Ace of Space and Bigg Boss OTT, Divya was asked why she hasn't yet taken part in Khatron Ke Khiladi.
After reading the question, Divya instantly started laughing and replied, 'Mujhe keedon se bahut zyada darr lagta hai," revealing creepy crawlies are something she just can't handle. 'I will come in a lot of shows but not reality shows," she added.
Divya added that she has had multiple offers from the Telugu entertainment sector and that she is willing to look into performing roles there. This indicates a change in her career perspective, as she now appears to be more interested in regional film and fictitious parts.
Divya provided a novel viewpoint as she discussed her body image and fitness journey. She said, 'It's all work and process. I don't get upset when I gain weight or get excited when I lose. I like to be fit, and it is a healthy process."
Divya appears to be embracing a more balanced and reflective stage of life as she is now married to businessman Apurva Padgaonkar. The couple tied the knot in February last year. Divya and Apurva had a traditional Marathi wedding ceremony in Mumbai.
A few months ago, Divya and Apurva's divorce rumours surfaced on social media. However, reacting to these speculations, the actress clarified, 'I made no noise. I made no comments or stories. I deleted 2500 posts. Yet the media chose to see and react only to my marriage. It's funny how people see and expect things out of me. I have always done something people never expected out of me. And what are they expecting now – the babies or divorce … none of it is happening (side eyes emoji)."
On the work front, the actress has acted in series like Cartel, Puncch Beat, Abhay and Fuh Se Fantasy. She also started her own dance academy, Elevate Dance Institute.

Rana Daggubati discusses work-life balance amid Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy row

As debates around fixed working hours in Indian film industries gain momentum, actor Rana Daggubati has weighed in with a grounded perspective, urging people to view the conversation through the lens of India's economic and social realities. His comments come at a time when Deepika Padukone's reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas's upcoming movie 'Spirit', allegedly due to long working hours and contractual disagreements, has brought the issue into public an interview with The Lallantop, Rana addressed the growing calls for structured workdays in film production. "We should understand that India is a developing country. We are not a developed nation. Our economy is probably 186th in the world if you look at the per capita income," he explained. 'So to me, it is not work, it is a lifestyle.'Rana, who hails from the Telugu film industry, pointed out that work culture in cinema is not one-size-fits-all. 'It depends on the project, the person, and the region. For example, Maharashtra follows a 12-hour shift from 9 am, while Telugu cinema typically has an 8-hour shift starting at 7 am,' he said, adding that other factors like location and whether a shoot is on a set or in a studio also influence working He emphasised the complexity of the issue, noting, 'You are seeing it as a generic statement - it is not.' Citing India's massive population and income disparities, he added, 'In a country where 70-80 percent of people earn Rs 100 a day, we need to look at things in perspective. We still have a long way to go.'About the pressure actors face during long shoots, Rana said, 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. It's a choice. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them. There are actors who only work four hours a day - that's their system.'His comments come in the wake of headlines surrounding Deepika Padukone, who reportedly exited 'Spirit' after her request for an eight-hour workday was declined. While the actor has not addressed the matter publicly, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga posted a cryptic note on social media that seemed to take aim at her, without directly naming the post, Vanga accused an unnamed actor of playing a 'dirty PR game' and betraying his trust. 'There is an unsaid NDA between us. But by doing this, you've disclosed the person that you are. Is this what your feminism stands for?' he the post here: The controversy has not only fuelled conversation about working conditions in the entertainment industry but also raised questions about how India's creative sectors reconcile artistic ambition with evolving workplace the work front, Rana Daggubati is busy promoting the upcoming season of his show 'Rana Naidu'.

‘Thug Life' box office collection day 3 (Live): Kamal Haasan starrer fails to gain weekend momentum

Kamal Haasan 's much-hyped film Thug Life has hit the screens with massive expectations, but the box office numbers tell a mixed tale. Released across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi on a Thursday, the film saw a promising start with a solid opening day collection of Rs 15.5 crore net in India. The majority of the revenue came from the Tamil version (Rs 13.35 crore), followed by Telugu (Rs 1.5 crore) and Hindi (Rs 0.65 crore), reflecting strong interest in the southern markets. Sharp Drop in Collections on Day 2 However, the momentum didn't sustain. On its second day (June 6), the collections dropped drastically by 54%, bringing in only Rs 7.13 crore. The Tamil version once again led the way with Rs 6.32 crore, but the noticeable dip indicated that the film struggled to maintain footfall after the initial buzz. While such a drop is not uncommon for non-weekend releases, it was still steeper than expected for a star-driven project. Saturday Crash Deepens the Slump Saturday further disappointed trade trackers with an even sharper decline. Thug Life managed to collect just Rs 1.25 crore on Day 3, suggesting that word-of-mouth and repeat audience engagement may be lacking. This brought the total domestic net collection to Rs 23.88 crore over three days—far from ideal for a film mounted on a big budget and carrying the brand names of Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urologist's Discovery: Tomato Trick That Could Shrink Prostate Naturally Men's Health Watch Now Undo Mixed Talk Affects Weekend Prospects Industry experts feel the lack of mass connect and mixed audience feedback may be holding the film back, despite its stylish presentation and star power. With Sunday and the weekdays ahead being crucial, Thug Life needs a strong turnaround to sustain its theatrical run and recover its massive investment. All eyes are now on the film's performance over the coming days to determine whether it can claw back and stabilise.
