You Wouldn't Believe Why Divya Agarwal Rejected Khatron Ke Khiladi
Last Updated: 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. First Published:

Varun Sood recalls participating in Roadies just to win a bike, had plans to join the Indian Army like his dad
Actor Varun Sood, whose grandfather and father served in the Indian Army, had initially planned to follow in their footsteps. However, at 19, he auditioned for Roadies to win the show and earn a bike, and his life took a completely different turn afterward. On SCREEN's The Suvir Saran Show, Varun opened up about his Roadies days and shared why he did the show. The actor said, 'Roadies is one of the oldest and the longest reality shows that has been running in India, and I purely went as I wanted a bike and mom was not giving it to me despite me requesting a lot. So I thought wow if I win the show, I do decently well on the show, I'll get a bike.' A post shared by Varun Sood (@varunsood12) Reflecting on his audition experience, Varun shared that he had to wait in long lines for six to eight hours and revealed that stampedes are not uncommon at Roadies auditions. Varun also shared that he joined the reality show with the mindset that even if it didn't work out, it was okay—since he intended to join the Army at the time. When asked why he ultimately didn't pursue a career in the Army, the actor explained, 'Post the show, I got a contract with MTV, and I started liking that life.' He added, 'I had seen the show as a child. Rannvijay (Singha) was the first person I saw on the show. He too was an army kid, and I grew up watching him. So I thought that if I got to be with him on the show, it would be fun and exciting.' A post shared by Varun Sood (@varunsood12) Varun Sood went on to appear in several other reality shows, including MTV Splitsvilla, Ace of Space, and Khatron Ke Khiladi. He later made his acting debut with Ragini MMS: Returns and is also known for his roles in Karmma Calling and Call Me Bae.
