When Divyanka was asked by ETimes, “How have the men around you in the industry been with you?” without mincing words, she replied, "Well, they have been okay. It's not that all have gone rotten. But there definitely are some men who just can't take 'No' for an answer. They make indecent proposals and make inappropriate remarks. And would you believe that they still want to be respected? If you retaliate or don't respect them, they make sure that they spoil your name. They take it to their ego. Character assassination karne ki koshish karte hain. I have faced it.”
