Fortunately, I have seen only successful and motivating relationships around me that inspired me to get married.
— Divyanka Tripathi
I feel blessed to keep my adventurous passion at peak while doing a daily soap.
Happiness is being content with what you have, living in freedom and liberty, having a good family life and good friends.
I have been trying to perform well and give my best, but unless I have a good story line in my hand or a supportive team, I am nothing.
Irrespective of my looks and age, they'll like me if I portray my character well.
I barely get any time for myself.
These haters are too less in number when compared to the millions who support me. I look at all those beautiful people who always stand by me. I respect them, and they equally respect me.
Being a TV actor is quite different from being a movie star, and I always try and highlight my character. It is the reason why I am more inclined to taking frequent sabbaticals: so that when I return, people can identify with the character I play.
Comedy is far more difficult, as it involves improvisation and impromptu acting, and as an actor, that came as a welcome break for me.
I am a huge fan of Madhuri Dixit.
It feels good when you learn to move on in life.
My parents have been my biggest support. Had it not been for them, I would have not been able to be the confident and fearless person that I am today.
Ever since I got married, I have been in a blissful state.
I believe that children should not be made to work.
Never fight with or disrespect your partner in front of other people.
Earlier, I thought it would be better for an actress to marry a businessman or a person from other profession, as it offers more stability. But then I realised that if I marry someone who doesn't belong to the same industry , he wouldn't understand my erratic schedules and also the norms of the glamour industry.
Small things make me happy, and I laugh out loud on the silliest of jokes!
It is beautiful to see two people in a lasting relationship.
Not many know that I'm a mountaineer, and my love for adventure will never die.
I am lucky that people recognise me wherever I go, but that makes it tough for me to shop.
Vivek is a very supportive man. If I am in the kitchen doing something, he comes and helps. I don't think marriage will change anything for us. Our careers will not be affected after marriage. He believes in gender equality and is a man of today's time.
There is a vast difference in the pay package of every actor. Actors are also exploited at various levels, but when we are established, we get paid fairly well. But at times, if an actor asks for a hike, he/she may even get boycotted.
I am a workaholic, and I sometimes wish that there were 48 hours in a day. But I know how to manipulate my time beneficially.
I don't wish to curse anyone. I just feel bad when women, especially, try to sabotage the image of another woman.
I've always wanted to explore different types of roles and prove to others that Divyanka is not all about being a timid dulhan.
I somehow can't remember numbers, names, and faces. I forget very easily.
Fans really give us a lot of love.
We women are fools to do so much for the man we love. And we forget to stand for ourselves.
I have learnt sketching, drawing, singing, dancing, rifle shooting, paragliding.
I recommend marriage to everyone.
'YHM' has broken many stereotypes on Indian television with its take on remarriage, infertility, and idea of marrying for the love for a child.
Respect your partner. Be happy in your partner's happiness.
I can never lie to my partner. Even if the truth is harsh, I'll break it to my partner but won't lie.
In India, public display of affection is frowned upon.
Nothing scares me about marriage.
The show is very special to me, as I found my life partner Vivek Dahiya while working on 'YHM.' The entire cast and set has become like a second home to me.
As long as there is a new twist in the storyline, there cannot be any space for monotony.
As far as aging on screen is concerned, I am sure the TV audience don't go by stereotypes - they have evolved and become smarter over the years.
Playing mother to grown-up kids does not allure me much. I will not feel comfortable. Also, my fans will not like me with grey hair.
People still create limitations and laws for women. But every woman deserves to choose her own path.
There are groups of haters who always try to malign my image. They question my character and make all kinds of false announcements. It hurts because they assume things and without any proof in hand.
No actor can refuse a combination of a good story, a Balaji production, and the show being aired on Star Plus.
I have a memory problem. My family and friends call me Lady Ghajini.
As far as dating is concerned, I'm not a casual dating person.
My best memories in life are with my elder sister Priyanka Tiwari and my brother Aishwarya Tripathi.
I think the universe was preparing me to be an actor. I never pursued one thing for long, but I was jack of all trades. I was learning everything possible because I knew my father would never shell out money for dresses or parties, but he would always give me money for new courses and books.
Kids in the entertainment industry are at a risk of developing depression, as they see glamour at an early age.
I am a practical girl.
You tend to relate to the other person better if you understand their professional needs.
I won't sleep until I have resolved an issue with my husband.
