Mini bio

  • Divyaa Dwivedi is a Bollywood film actress born in Ranchi, Bihar. She initially wet her feet in the entertainment world by sneaking in to a local radio station and convincing the station manager that she had been billed to read her poetry live alongside some other local senior poets. The manager was so impressed by her zeal that he let her do it and, it was not long after this that she set aside her dream of being a doctor to pursue a career in Indian film and television.

    Divyaa has acted in films in several languages including Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telegu, Kanada, Gujarati, Marathi, and her native dialect Bhojpuri. She has also been a vocal critic of the Bhojpuri film industry in particular for the way in which it continues to portray Indian women. This has gained her somewhat of a reputation for being a figure who speaks clearly about the realities of being a women in a male dominated industry, and indeed a woman in India.

    Having a particular interest in comedy, in 2009, Divyaa took part in an experimental Internet television series called Jai Hindi, which adopted a format similar to several US late night talk shows. On Jai Hind, she played a satirical version of Savita Bhabi whose character was adapted from an animated pornographic series of the same name.

    Despite what appeared to some to be the overtly liberal and sexual nature of her segment the jokes employ double-speak as form of veiled criticism directed towards India's laughable lazy and corrupt political system as well as India's prevailing misogynistic culture. For this she again came under some criticism to which she has consistently answered by clarifying the difference between the two Savitas, and he own personal life.

    In 2013 Divyaa married a Canadian and continues to maintain a busy schedule of smaller film roles and appearances in noteworthy television serials in India. in March 2015 she will be moving to Canada to pursue family life and explore career opportunities in the Canadian Film and TV industries. As a passionate actor, comedian, and singer she has no intention of pumping the brakes on her career.
