New Delhi: Actress Divya Agarwal surprised everyone when she announced her engagement with restaurateur Apurva Padgaonkar on her birthday, December 5. Divya was earlier in a relationship with Varun Sood and had parted ways from him in March this year.
Divya has now spoken about her engagement and Apurva in an interview with The Times of India. She revealed that she knows Apurva since 2015 and they were also in a relationship for a couple of years before drifting apart. She also said that she was 'going through a tough phase' after her break up with Varun and Apurva was there for her.
“Life has come full circle. I have known Apurva for a long time and we dated each other between 2015 and 2018, but then we drifted apart. However, we continued to keep in touch. He was always that friend who I could go to any time. After Varun and I broke up in March 2022, I was going through a tough phase. Apurva was there for me like a best friend, who stood by me like rock. So, though I was not expecting a proposal, in my mind I knew that he was the kind of guy I wanted to marry,” she told The Times of India.
Divya is planning to tie the knot next year. “We haven’t set a date yet, but marriage will happen next year. Everything in my life has happened unplanned. For now, I just want to enjoy my life with him,” she said.

“Sometimes it may take an entire lifetime to understand if a guy is right for you and at times, it takes just a few minutes to decide that he is the one,” Divya was quoted as saying.
Divya on Monday shared photos from her birthday celebration and Apurva’s proposal on Instagram. She wrote, “"Will I ever stop smiling? Probably not. Life just got more sparkly and I found the right person to share this journey with. His #BaiCo. A forever promise. From this important day, I will never walk alone.”
