"Ekta Kapoor ma'am has been a true cheerleader for me. She has believed in me and has always encouraged me to push the envelope. When she shared the first 'Cartel' Instagram story about me, I was overwhelmed and had tears of joy. She was proud of my work," shares Divya.

When asked about being a part of 'Cartel', she adds: "Honestly, this series will be a game-changer for me. I like to be recognised for the characters that I play in my life. I have taken a lot of time and effort along with such a humongous team who worked to bring this masterpiece to the audience. I would say that this will definitely position me as an actor in the industry as the makers of the show brought the best out of me."
