Personal Life

Divyanka Tripathi, now 40, resides in Mumbai with her husband, actor Vivek Dahiya, whom she married on July 8, 2016, in Bhopal after meeting on the set of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. The couple got engaged on January 16, 2016, and their wedding followed Hindu rituals, with a grand reception in Mumbai.

They have no children, though a June 2025 X post falsely claimed Divyanka became a mother, referring instead to her on-screen sister-in-law’s pregnancy. Previously, she dated her Banoo Main Teri Dulhann co-star Sharad Malhotra for nine years, ending in 2015.

A dog lover and vegetarian, Divyanka learned to cook non-vegetarian food for Malhotra during their relationship. Her hobbies include shopping (especially at Lokhandwala, Mumbai), reading (she loves P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern), and enjoying street foods like pav bhaji and chole bhature.

She aspires to play a psychopath or police officer on screen. Divyanka’s adventurous side shone during her 2021 solo trip, which she described as a journey of self-discovery.

In 2017, she condemned a Chandigarh rape case on social media, addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to urge action, reflecting her social consciousness. With 12.3 million Instagram followers, she engages fans with personal and professional updates.
