Amidst the ongoing debate on nepotism, Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya spoke on a different perspective of the issue and how individual talent must be acknowledged instead of addressing them as someone's daughter/son/spouse/child. To condemn news portals for addressing Vivek Dahiya as her husband instead of giving him an identity of his own, Divyanka shared a series of tweets. Retweeting a now-deleted link, Divyanka tweeted, "Why don’t they refer to it as @VivekDahiya08 and wifey?It wasn’t even my post! I’m here since eons but does the industry give new talent much deserved respect? Let’s not cry fowl on name of nepotism. Vicious circle starts here! Not targeting one. Pointing at a common practice." (Also Read: Irrfan Khan's Wife, Sutapa Sikdar Pens A 'Miss You' Note On Late Hubby's 4 Month Death Anniversary)

Expressing that everyone deserves to be recognised by their own work, Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya continued, "Why are the attachments needed to address people-someone's daughter, son, spouse? Unless news and all in general start respecting sole identities, nepotism won't stop. Everyone wants to be known by their own work." Asking everyone to stop referring to people with their relatives or spouse's names, Divyanka ended with "If celebs adhere by the attachments given, you call them nepotist and if they don't they are referred to as 'insecure'! STOP THIS CYCLE OF USING NAMES OF SPOUSES AND RELATIVES! Allow individuality to prevail. #AcceptIndividualTalent #StopNepotism #EqualityForAll."

Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya and Vivek Dahiya are often surrounded with the speculations of having trouble in their paradise. Vivek’s fame is also compared to Divyanka’s fame and her celebrity status is often reported as the reason behind their differences. In a throwback interview with The Times Of India, Vivek had clarified, “Divyanka inspires me as an actor, as she has made it on her own. She hails from a small town and joined the industry over a decade before me. There is no competition or insecurity. These rumours are a work of fiction. We are so happy together that detractors want to pull us down. I find it stupid to even comment on my marriage or being compared to her. I am confident as an actor and am growing every day. Divyanka is supportive and both of us want to have our own journey as artistes. We don’t discuss work at home unless we feel the need to. What works for us is the fact that there is no communication gap. We don’t have any reservation about sharing our deepest thoughts with each other, we are transparent.” (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra Jonas Reveals Her Favourite Dish Prepared By Hubby, Nick Jonas, Calls It Amazing)
