In a candid conversation on a podcast with actor Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol, Divya Agarwal shared her thoughts about her past relationship with Varun Sood. After her father’s demise, Divya felt unsupported and began questioning her relationship. She realized that something was amiss, prompting her to reconsider the situation.
At a friend’s wedding, Divya had the opportunity to meet Apurva Padgaonkar, someone she had known for seven years and had a previous romantic relationship with. Their encounter brought her a sense of happiness and fulfillment that she was missing in her previous relationship.
Divya and Apurva’s initial connection occurred when Divya won Miss Navi Mumbai, and the pageant organizers introduced her to Apurva. They instantly formed a bond, and in their second meeting, Divya even proposed marriage to him. However, Apurva wasn’t ready for marriage at that time and preferred not to date someone with marriage as a primary focus. Consequently, they decided to put their relationship on pause.
Years later, Divya and Apurva met again at a common friend’s wedding on February 14. During their conversation, they realized the mistake they had made by not pursuing their relationship earlier. Divya admitted that after spending time with Apurva, she felt uncertain about her current relationship with Varun. She sensed a lack of personal space and felt guilty for having these thoughts while still being in a committed relationship.

With complex emotions and conflicting feelings, Divya made the difficult decision to end her relationship with Varun. She realized that being with him made her feel scattered and unsure, while being with Apurva brought her a sense of calmness and maturity. Divya also decided to introduce Varun to Apurva, expressing her concerns and admitting that the problems stemmed from her own confusion. She expressed her own problems and confusion, taking responsibility for the abrupt breakup. Divya wanted to put a stop to the turmoil and make a decision that would bring her happiness and clarity.
To inform her followers and well-wishers about the breakup, Divya took to Instagram to share her thoughts. She emphasized that she didn’t blame anyone for the situation and acknowledged feeling overwhelmed. Divya declared her desire to prioritize self-love and live life on her own terms. She thanked Varun for everything and expressed her intention to remain good friends.
In December 2022, Divya announced her engagement to Apurva through social media posts. Apurva had proposed to her on her birthday in the presence of family and close friends. Divya expressed her love for Apurva, appreciating his raw and genuine nature. They rekindled their connection and embraced the love they had once shared.
