Earlier her brother Yuvraj Raghuvanshi told TOI about her condition. He told them, “We have shifted Divya to another hospital. She was hospitalised on November 26 and tested positive for COVID-19 on November 28. She was already suffering from pneumonia, which has worsened owing to coronavirus. Initially, she was on non-invasive ventilation to support her breathing but is on the ventilator now because of all the exertion of shifting hospitals. We want her to recover from pneumonia, which has spread.”

Divya tied the knot to Gagan, an artiste manager after five years of courtship. But in a recent interview, her mother claimed that he was a fraud and left her. Her co-actors Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Shilpa Shirodkar also took to their social media accounts to share their condolences.
