Divya is the daughter of actor Sathyaraj and Maheshwari. Divya's brother is the actor Sibi.[2][3] Unlike her father and her brother, Divya abstained from acting, instead pursuing a career in nutrition.[4] Originally a vegetarian, she became a vegan in 2016.[5]
Divya started a movement in 2020, Mahilmadhi Iyakkam. About the movement she says, "The purpose of the movement is to identify areas in the city where access to nutritious food and awareness about its benefits are lacking. Once the areas are identified and the community members are assessed, those in the neighbourhood who are in need, will be provided hygienic and healthy food, free of cost, based on the deficiencies."[14] In 2019, Divya announced she would get into politics in 2021.[9][15]
Awards
In 2019, Divya received the Women Achiever Award for excellence in community service from Raindrops, a youth-based social organisation spreading social awareness through media and entertainment.[6][15] In 2020, she was awarded an honorary doctorate by the International Tamil University, USA, in recognition for her contributions in the field of Nutritional therapy.[16]
