Bollywood actress and filmmaker Divya Khosla Kumar has taken a bold step in addressing the ongoing Savi–Jigra controversy by sharing a phone conversation with veteran filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt. The move comes after recent statements by Bhatt suggesting that the actress orchestrated the dispute as a publicity stunt.
The Controversy
The controversy began when Mukesh Bhatt, who produced Divya Khosla Kumar’s film Savi, claimed in an interview that the actress had deliberately created tension between Savi and Jigra for promotional purposes. These statements triggered widespread criticism against Divya, prompting her to respond publicly.
Divya’s Response
In a surprising revelation, Divya shared the recording of her phone call with Mukesh Bhatt on Instagram. In the recording, she directly questions Bhatt regarding the allegations, seeking clarification about whether he had spoken against her or attempted to create controversy for publicity.

What the Recording Reveals
Mukesh Bhatt firmly denies the accusations in the conversation. “No one asked me, nor did I tell anyone. This has been created by those who are interested in this,” he stated in the recording. Bhatt further reassured Divya, explaining that the negative reports appeared coincidentally on her birthday and that they were likely intended to cause her distress. He urged her not to let the controversy affect her, adding, “You know me by now. The coming year will be good. Rise above this.”
Divya Calls Out Industry Sabotage
Along with sharing the recording, Divya Khosla Kumar expressed her disappointment with the treatment of genuine talent in Bollywood. She wrote, “I am deeply shocked by this revelation. What I have recently discovered is disturbing and heartbreaking. I feel it is important to share this truth with the public, especially for all artists and fans who have suffered under hierarchy, lobbying, and gatekeeping in our film industry.”
She added, “Unfortunately, I am left with no choice but to put out the telephonic conversation between Mr. Mukesh Bhatt and me so people can hear for themselves how certain groups attempt to sabotage careers and push genuine talent out. This behaviour is unacceptable and cannot be normalised. It is time we speak up. It is time we call out the industry mafia. I will raise my voice and I will fight this out.”
The Bigger Picture
Divya Khosla Kumar’s move highlights ongoing concerns in Bollywood regarding favoritism, nepotism, and industry gatekeeping. By releasing this conversation, the actress aims to shed light on the challenges faced by independent talent while advocating for fairness and transparency in the industry.
Fans and followers have supported Divya’s stand, appreciating her courage to confront controversy openly and exposing attempts to tarnish her reputation. The Savi–Jigra incident continues to spark discussion about ethics, publicity, and genuine artistry in Bollywood.
