Divya Spandana was spotted with a foreigner at the IPL cricket match recently, setting the tongues in the tinsel town wagging. There is also a talk going on that Divya is likely to marry this foreigner and their wedding will take place later this year.
Sources close to Divya say that the foreigner is Robert Ruperrcht, who is into export business in Switzerland. The actress has neither confirmed nor denied her relationship with Robert till now.
Divya, a Kannada actress, has also acted in several Tamil films including Vaaranam Aayiram, Kuthu and Singam Puli.
Divya Spandana became a member of the Youth Congress recently. The actress’s move surprised many but insiders say that with her family being in politics this is not something unanticipated. Divya, on the other hand, says that there is no point talking about corruption when we are not able to do anything about it.
The actress pointed out that she would join Anna Hazare’s movement to fight corruption. On joining the Congress party, Divya said that it does not mean she would enter politics full time. It is expected that she would meet Rahul Gandhi on April 21st when he is scheduled to visit Bengaluru.
Actress Divya Spandana, who recently announced that she was quitting Kannada films for good, has now gone for a change of heart. The actress had been in the middle of a running battle with Kannada producer Ganesh, who incidentally produced her latest film ‘Dandam Dashagunam’.
Trouble started when Divya skipped the audio launch of ‘DD’ and was reprimanded for the same and consequently ‘banned’ by the Karnataka State Film Chamber of Commerce. This made Divya fume and cry foul. She said that Ganesh owed her some amount which he hadn’t returned within the stipulated time.
“Instead of helping me recover the money from the producer, KFCC had erred in banning me. I’m quitting Kannada films for good,” Divya had said a few days back.
However the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) lifted its one-year ban on Divya on Thursday after the producer Ganesh cleared dues of the actress. In a meeting at the residence of veteran actor Ambareesh, Ganesh cleared dues of Divya and both shook hands. Now, Ramya can act in Kannada movies, and there is no ban on any artiste to act in films produced by Ganesh.Following this, in a social networking site, the actress has recorded yesterday that she was withdrawing her decision to ‘quit’ as she had got her money back and also due to the fact that her fans had urged her in through ‘Twitter’ to continue to act in Kannada films.
She has a couple of her films releasing in a month’s time from now. Divya, grand-daughter of Union Foreign Affairs minister S.M. Krishna, aspires to become a film producer very soon and assures that she would obviously be playing the lead role in the film produced under her home banner.
