Divya Khosla Kumar expressed surprise
Divya wrote in the caption of the audio click, “I am deeply shocked by this revelation. What I came to know recently is shocking and heartbreaking. With a heavy heart, I feel that the truth should be kept before the public. Especially for all those artists and fans who have faced hierarchy, lobbying and gatekeeping in the film industry. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to bring to the fore the telephone conversation between Mr. Mukesh Bhatt and me. So that people can hear how some groups are trying to spoil the career and this cannot be normalized. It is time that we bring forward our voice and fight against it.”
Was there any conversation in Divya Khosla’s audio?
In the audio clip, Divya is saying, “Sir, but what is this on the net? You have said something against me that I have done something petty. The Jigra controversy of Alia (Bhatt) is a publicity stunt I have done.” In response, Mukesh Bhatt is saying, “Neither has anyone asked me, nor have I told anyone. This has been created by the people.” Then Divya says, “…and sir this came out on my birthday. I am shocked because people are messaging me.” Bhatt replies, “Son, this is all planned. The thing is that this has come on your birthday. It means that someone wants to hurt you and has deliberately planned this. First of all, I did not know that today is your birthday and I do not do such things. Now you know me, son.” After this Divya calms down and says that she respects Bhatt a lot. At last Bhatt wishes him a happy birthday.
What is the whole matter of Divya Khosla-Mukesh Bhatt?
On November 20, when Divya Khosla Kumar was celebrating her 38th birthday, a news quoting Mukesh Bhatt went viral in the media. It was claimed that Mukesh Bhatt had termed the controversy during the release of films ‘Saavi’ and ‘Jigra’ as a publicity stunt by Divya. According to reports, Mukesh Bhatt had said that Alia Bhatt is a big star and she does not need to do such small things for publicity. It is noteworthy that in 2024, Divya Khosla Kumar had claimed that the story of Alia Bhatt’s film ‘Jigra’ is a copy of her film ‘Savi’. Divya had just claimed that the makers of ‘Jigra’ had manipulated the numbers at the box office by sharing the picture of an empty theatre. After his statement, there was an uproar between the teams of both the films.
