Bhushan Kumar breaks silence on Divya Khosla divorce rumours after she drops his surname on Instagram

Bhushan Kumar and Divya Khosla are not heading for divorce; here’s why she dropped the surname ‘Kumar’ from her name on Instagram.

Divya Khosla (now Divya Khossla) and Bhushan Kumar’s divorce rumors have been doing the rounds, ever since she removed ‘Kumar’ from her Instagram name and unfollowed his company T-Series. Now, in an interview with Zoom, a T-Series spokesperson has clarified that the couple, married for around 19 years, is not heading for divorce.

Why Divya ‘dropped her married surname’

Bhushan Kumar’s team dismissed the divorce rumors and said there is ‘no truth’ to them. The spokesperson said that the name change on Instagram is due to astrological reasons, adding Divya also added an extra ‘s’ to her maiden surname, Khosla. A T-Series spokesperson said, “Divya Khossla’s choice to drop her married surname, driven by astrological beliefs, is a personal decision and should be respected. The addition of an ‘s’ to her maiden surname, symbolizing her astrological belief, is for the same thought.”

Son of Gulshan Kumar, and the chairman and managing director of T-Series, Bhushan Kumar reportedly first met Divya around 2004 on the sets of her debut film Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo. Directed by Anil Sharma, the film featured Akshay Kumar.
