Divya Agarwal Embroiled in Real Estate Controversy
Real Estate News:Divya Agarwal, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT season 1, has been making headlines recently, but not for her acting skills or reality TV appearances. The actress and her businessman husband, Apurva Padgaonkar, are in the midst of a controversy surrounding a real estate deal.

Real estate broker Rafique Merchant has accused Divya and Apurva of not paying him his 1 percent brokerage fee after he assisted in selling their apartment. In a video that has gone viral, Rafique can be seen accusing Divya of not paying him his due amount despite attending all the meetings and procedures up until the flat was sold.

Rafique claims that Divya and Apurva stopped responding to his calls and blocked him on messages and direct messages after the sale was finalized. He questions their behavior, saying, 'Why are you behaving this way? You can go ahead and do as you please, but don't take away our livelihood. Please release my 1 percent brokerage.'

The broker also mentions that Divya and Apurva claimed they did not make any profit from the sale of the flat, which raises further questions about their intentions. Rafique asks, 'What can I do about this? We assisted you when you wanted to buy, and we helped you when you wanted to sell.'

Despite the serious allegations, the celebrity couple has yet to respond to these accusations. This controversy has further marred their reputation, which has already been under scrutiny due to their tumultuous past.

Divya and Apurva's love story began under controversial circumstances, with Divya admitting to having feelings for Apurva while she was still dating Varun Sood. The couple got engaged on Divya's 30th birthday and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony after dating for over a year.

With this real estate controversy, it remains to be seen how the couple will respond to these allegations and whether they will be able to salvage their reputation.
