The diva's appearance in the well-liked daily soap opera Banoo Main Teri Dulhann on Zee TV helped her achieve enormous stardom. Afterward, she became extremely famous after starring in the Star Plus show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein as ‘Ishita Raman Bhalla.’ However, Divyanka's path to success hasn't been without its challenges. The actress had to overcome numerous obstacles to succeed.
From a humble childhood, Divyanka Tripathi and her two sisters were constantly encouraged to concentrate on their studies. Her mother, Neelam Tripathi, stays at home while her father, Narendra Tripathi, works as a pharmacist. Divyanka is a native of Bhopal and attended the Carmel Convent School in her hometown. She subsequently obtained her diploma from the Government Girls PG College in Sarojini Naidu.
Divyanka had no plans to join the entertainment industry; in fact, she wanted to be a mountaineer. To achieve her goal, the diva even took a mountaineering course from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering in Uttarkashi. However, as life happened, Divyanka decided to start her career as an anchor on All India Radio. She later participated in various pageants and caught the attention of casting directors.
Only a few know that Divyanka Tripathi started her acting career via a telefilm in Doordarshan. Later, she even hosted Doordarshan's popular show, Akash Vani. After this Divyanka did small roles in serials such as Yeh Dil Chahe More and Viraasat. After a year, Divyanka got her big break in 2006 when she bagged Zee TV's drama fiction, Banoo Main Teri Dulhann. The show's TRP spiked in no time, and Divyanka became a household name. After this, Divyanka acted in many soap operas and reality shows like Jjhoom India, Mrs. & Mr. Sharma Allahabadwale, Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout, Chintu Chinki Aur Ek Badi Si Love Story and more.
Divyanka stated, "After you finish a show, you start your struggle again for the next job. There are times when you have no money, you have to pay your bills, EMIs and then there were bigger responsibilities. I would collect even the boxes of toothpaste, that iska bhi ek ek rupya aayega. I would keep it safe somewhere and then would sell that scrap and get money. You have to make your brain work. You have to find your ways to earn money."
Divyanka Tripathi added, "I swear that saved my life. That saved me, my house, my EMIs. But there was a time when everything was exhausted."
Divyanka Tripathi's life took a turn for the better when she was cast as the lead protagonist, 'Dr. Ishita Iyer Bhalla', in Ektaa Kapoor's iconic serial, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. Her portrayal of the character, alongside Karan Patel and Ruhanika Dhawan, catapulted the show to new heights, breaking all previous records and earning an all-time high TRP. This success not only made the show a household name but also elevated Divyanka's status in the industry.
Divyanka Tripathi rose to prominence as India's highest-paid actress following this show. Divyanka charged between Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 1.5 lakh per episode while the show was running. Divyanka's life was transformed by the show, and her net worth shot to Rs. 40 crore. Divyanka is currently regarded as one of the wealthiest and most accomplished television actresses.
Divyanka's personal life has had its share of highs and lows. She dated Sharad Malhotra, her co-star in Banoo Main Teri Dulhann, in 2006. They parted ways bitterly, though, and their love story did not have a happily ever after. A few years later, on January 16, 2016, Divyanka finally revealed her engagement to Vivek Dahiya, her co-actor in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. On July 8, 2016, the couple celebrated their marriage after their on-set romance turned into a stunning match.
