• Divya and Bhushan tied the knot in 2005 and together they have a son.
• After the arrest of actor Pearl V Puri in a rape and molestation case in June, earlier this year,  Divya Khosla Kumar posted a long post on social media in support of the actor.

• About her journey from being a model to a producer, she said in one of her interviews, " When I moved here I had not planned on becoming an actress, a director or a producer. I think it all happened spontaneously. I am extremely hard working so my only intention was to learn and grow in my career. I am very happy and proud of my journey so far but I still have so much more to learn."
• On taking up direction she said, "Creatively it is more satisfying for me now because as an actor everything is in the hands of the director and you do not have much say in it."
