Divya Agarwal gets angry and walks out of Shardul Pandit's podcast, latter says, "ye bigg boss nahi hai"

In a recent viral incident, actress and reality TV star Divya Agarwal made headlines when she stormed out of Shardul Pandit’s podcast after a heated exchange. The episode took an unexpected turn when Shardul, known for his straightforward questioning, asked Divya about her struggles with success. The exchange quickly escalated, leaving fans wondering whether it was scripted or a genuine outburst from the actress.

During the conversation, Shardul questioned Divya about the challenges she faced in her career, subtly implying her journey hadn’t always been successful. Divya, visibly upset by the remark, asked him why he would bring it up. For Divya, this question seemed to strike a nerve, as she considered Shardul almost like family, someone who would understand her journey better than most. Shardul, perhaps not expecting such a reaction, responded by explaining that it was intended to be light-hearted. However, his follow-up comment, “Ye Bigg Boss nai hai,” sparked a further reaction.

The reference to “Bigg Boss,” a reality show Divya is famously associated with, appeared to be a sore spot. Shardul’s comment implied that this podcast was not a reality show and that Divya’s intense reaction was unwarranted. This only added fuel to the fire, as Divya felt the comment downplayed her concerns and experiences.

In response, Divya didn’t hold back. She sternly told Shardul, “I told you, you are not going to ask me that question.” Her tone made it clear that she had set boundaries regarding her personal life and career struggles, boundaries she felt Shardul had crossed. Despite his attempts to lighten the mood, Divya decided that she had had enough. In a move that left the podcast team and viewers in shock, she stood up and walked off the set mid-recording.

For fans of the star, this incident highlighted a side of Divya that they hadn’t seen before. Known for her composure on screen, especially during her time on reality TV, seeing her walk off mid-conversation was surprising. Many speculated that her reaction may have stemmed from the years of scrutiny she faced as a reality TV star, with her every action under a microscope.

As the video clip circulated online, social media was abuzz with reactions. Some fans supported Divya, understanding her need for privacy and her frustration with constant references to “Bigg Boss.” They argued that Shardul’s comment was insensitive, especially considering Divya’s attempts to carve a new identity outside the reality TV world.

Others, however, questioned whether the incident was scripted to create buzz around the podcast. Reality TV stars are often associated with high drama, and Divya’s association with “Bigg Boss” only added to the speculation. The way the clip was edited and shared added to the intrigue, making viewers wonder if it was a publicity stunt designed to grab attention.

Regardless of whether it was genuine or planned, the incident opened up conversations about the pressures reality TV stars face even after their time on the show ends. Divya, who has worked hard to establish herself beyond the “Bigg Boss” label, may have seen Shardul’s comment as undermining her efforts.

Divya’s Statement on Public Scrutiny

In previous interviews, Divya has spoken candidly about the challenges of being in the limelight. She has mentioned the toll that constant scrutiny takes, especially when it comes to her personal life and relationships. Recently, she addressed divorce rumors, asserting that she is happy in her marriage and doesn’t want to entertain baseless gossip.

Divya also shared her frustration with managing her public image. In an interview, she revealed that she had deleted around 2,500 posts from her Instagram profile to create a clean slate. “I was looking at my profile from a third person’s POV, and it never came across as I am an actor,” she explained. This meticulous control over her online presence shows how much she values her privacy and image.

Shardul’s Response: Trying to Maintain Composure

On his end, Shardul seemed taken aback by Divya’s strong reaction. He tried to downplay the incident during the recording, calling after her as she walked out, saying it “wasn’t done.” However, his initial comment about “Bigg Boss” suggests he may have underestimated the impact his words would have on Divya. After the incident, he refrained from making any additional public comments, leaving fans to interpret the exchange on their own.
