She had told that Divya was never good in academics, which was one of the prime reasons she had decided to enter the film industry. Meeta had also added that her daughter was 'zero in studies' and had explained:

"One day she asked me, 'Mom, if I sign films, what will happen to my studies'? I told her, 'You will need to stop studying if you decide to pursue films'. She was zero in studies. She would barely score anything. She said, 'I don't need to study anymore? Then please tell dad that I want to work in films."

After some discussion between Divya and her mother, Meeta, the two had agreed and what followed were a series of film offers. She had stated:

"She was getting offers. There was a producer in the building next to ours. His manager would come to our house every day and sit for hours. He pleaded with Divya to sign a film with them, and promised that all the work would be complete in three months."
