The lockdown may have brought life as we know it to a standstill, but for Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, this forced break has come with an opportunit­y for her to sort things out.

“When I was working, I was doing it whole heartedly and didn’t complain that it was too hectic. Now, when I am not working and we are forced to stay at home, I am doing those things which I was unable to do otherwise. I have now got an opportunit­y to reorganise my life,” the actor shares.

Despite being a very busy profession­al, staying at home has not been much of a challenge for Divyanka. She does not really miss work as she is keeping herself busy. “I am binge watching a lot. Every phase is enjoyable. I don’t regret any phase of my life; I’m happy with this phase as well. Main chah ke bhi apne aap ko ghar pe nahi rakh sakti. I am making the most of this opportunit­y,” she says.

And the one thing she is enjoying the most is spending time with her husband, actor Vivek

Dahiya, something that she didn’t get a chance to do a lot since their marriage in 2016.

“We were not much of cooks, now we are both experiment­ing with recipes. We surprise each other and we are having a lot of fun. Since he exercises a lot, I am his DOP for his social media posts,” she laughs.

But Divyanka, 35, believes in not overdoing it on social media and knows how much is too much. “I don’t take social media platforms as entertainm­ent for others; I post what comes from my heart. I am not forceful with my online activities. You must keep it natural and comfortabl­e, because that is what appeals to people. If your posts are deliberate, it will create saturation,” she asserts.
