Divya Agarwal was eliminated from The 50 prior to its eagerly awaited grand finale. While competing, the actress was called a ‘gold digger’ by fellow participant Bhavya Singh, who also asserted that Divya is estranged from her spouse Apurva Padgaonkar.

After her eviction, Divya responded to the allegations and disclosed the true reason for her split from Apurva Padgaonkar.

In an interview with FilmiGyan, Divya Agarwal responded to Bhavya Singh’s allegations and stated, "Indeed, I am living apart from my husband, Apurva Padgaonkar. I live near my job, and he lives nearer to his job. We continue to see each other like a couple."

Divya Agarwal is a diamond digger

Responding to accusations of being a gold digger, the Splitsvilla 10 finalist stated in an interview with Telly Talk India, “Our love and marriage are still thriving. Individuals possess only partial information. I’m not interested in gold, but I would gladly refer to myself as a diamond digger. My spouse is a diamond."

Divya additionally revealed her husband's response upon seeing her eliminated from The 50. “He even enquired, ‘Why was I unable to win this competition?’” I mentioned to him that winning the 50 was never my goal. "Winning every show isn't essential," she remarked.

Divya also mentioned that her husband was with her following her departure from the show. "When I came out, Apurva offered me many tasty dishes. I believe only food can make me better. He is extremely distant from my world. He simply desires for me to remain joyful and well," she clarified.

Divya Agarwal and Apurva Padgaonkar's wedding

At that time, Divya posted on social media refuting any such allegations.

She stated, “I didn’t create any sound. I refrained from making any remarks or sharing anecdotes. I removed 2500 posts. However, the media opted to notice and respond solely to my marriage. It's amusing how individuals perceive and anticipate certain things from me. I have consistently taken actions that others have never anticipated from me. And what they anticipate now – the babies or the divorce ... Neither is occurring."
