The recording, shared on Instagram, has sent shockwaves across the industry — especially because Mukesh Bhatt appears to completely backtrack on his earlier statement.
Divya Confronts Mukesh Bhatt — He Denies Everything
In the leaked audio, Divya can be heard calmly but firmly asking Mukesh whether he had spoken against her in the media, accusing her of cooking up the controversy.
Mukesh Bhatt immediately denies it, saying:
“Na mereko kisi ne pucha, na maine kisi ko bola. This is again created by people who’ve got vested interests.”
He goes on to reassure Divya, calling the reports “planned” and “intentional,” adding:
“Beta, the fact that this happened on your birthday means somebody wants to hurt you… I didn’t know it was your birthday. Aur main aise harkat nahi karta; you know me.”
He even suggests that the negativity may be coming from the “other camp”, and advises Divya to “rise above it”.
Divya Says She’s ‘Shocked’, Calls Out “Industry Mafia”
Sharing the explosive clip, Divya wrote a long note expressing heartbreak and betrayal:
“I am deeply shocked by this revelation… This is disturbing and heartbreaking.”
She claimed that this incident is just one example of hierarchy, lobbying, and gatekeeping in Bollywood, and said she felt compelled to release the recording “so people can hear for themselves.”
Her statement gets even more fiery:
“It is time we call out the industry mafia. I will raise my voice, and I will fight this out.”
What Sparked the Fire? The Savi vs Jigra Clash
The feud began back in 2024 when Divya accused the makers of Jigra (starring Alia Bhatt) of lifting the jailbreak plot of her film Savi.
Recently, Mukesh Bhatt brushed off the allegations in an interview, saying Divya created the controversy “for publicity”:
“Everyone needs publicity, and for publicity, you need some controversy.”
He also defended Alia Bhatt, calling her a grounded superstar who would never resort to copying:
“Usko yeh chichori harkat karne ki zarurat nahi hai.”
Divya later fired back, even accusing Jigra of inflating box-office numbers by bulk-buying tickets. She posted images of near-empty theatres to support her claim.
Industry Drama at Its Peak — And It’s Not Ending Anytime Soon
With Mukesh Bhatt publicly saying one thing and privately denying it on the call, Bollywood fans are calling this the biggest expose since the nepotism wars.
Divya’s bold move to release the audio has sparked fresh debates about:
power imbalance
lobbying
manufactured narratives
and alleged gatekeeping inside the industry
The battle lines seem drawn — and Bollywood watchers are bracing for more revelations.
This controversy is far from over… and the masala is only getting hotter.
