Back in 2018, Bhushan Kumar grabbed headlines when an anonymous internet user claimed to have faced sexual misconduct in the hands of Bhushan Kumar. The unidentified woman publicly levied accusations against the music giant in the wake of the ‘Me Too’ movement, and as a result, within no time, Bhushan faced a lot of backlash. However, it was his wife, Divya, who came out in support of him and dismissed all such rumours as baseless and malicious. Offering a public statement, Divya had stated:
“My husband has got TSeries where it is today purely on the basis of extreme hard work. People even stood up against Lord Krishna who’s praiseworthy. Though the #metoo movement is meant to clean up the society, it’s sad that some people have started misusing it. I have been with my husband hand in hand as he’s taken his father’s dream forward. He’s a man full of values and principles. It’s unfortunate that people put baseless allegations without having their facts and proofs in place.”

Previously, in one of her old interviews with News18, Divya Khossla opened up about her journey in the showbiz world as an actress. She beamed with pride as she claimed that it had all been her own hard work, and despite being the wife of such an eminent persona like Bhushan Kumar, she never sought his help to find work. In her words:
“I have never been dependent on my husband for work. When I made Yaariyan, he didn't even hear the script. When it became successful, he had the confidence that I could direct a film. He is very supportive of everything I do but we never interfere in each other's work, and I feel that partners should give that kind of space to each other.”
