Divya Agarwal Remembers Late YouTuber Danish Zehen, Says ‘Regret Not Being Able To See Him Outside'
Divya Agarwal recalls her bond with late YouTuber Danish Zehen from Ace of Space, saying she regrets not getting to meet him outside the reality show. Divya Agarwal is one of the most talked-about celebrities in the reality space. She gained recognition after appearing on Splitsvilla and rose to further fame with Ace of Space, a one-of-a-kind show where she was a co-contestant with the late YouTuber Danish Zehen. Now, in a recent interview, the actor-model opened up about what she will regret the most about the show. In conversation with Filmygyan, Divya shared, 'I will always have this regret that I couldn't see him outside that house, but we had some great times. It took me a while to realise what kind of a guy he was because we were in separate rooms. But jab dosti badhti gayi, I started liking him. He was really talented, and it was that time when YouTubers were doing meaningful things." Ace of Space contestant and popular face on YouTube, Danish Zehen, died in a tragic accident in 2018. Reportedly, the 21-year-old was returning from a wedding when the accident took place near Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Danish was quite popular on social media and had one million followers on Instagram. His sudden death left his fans and followers in deep shock. Meanwhile, Divya appears to be embracing a more balanced and reflective stage of life, as she is now married to businessman Apurva Padgaonkar. The couple tied the knot in February last year. Divya and Apurva had a traditional Marathi wedding ceremony in Mumbai. A few months ago, Divya and Apurva's divorce rumours surfaced on social media. However, reacting to these speculations, the actress clarified, 'I made no noise. I made no comments or stories. I deleted 2,500 posts. Yet the media chose to see and react only to my marriage. It's funny how people see and expect things out of me. I have always done something people never expected out of me. And what are they expecting now – the babies or divorce… none of it is happening (side-eyes emoji)." On the work front, the actress has acted in series like Cartel, Puncch Beat, Abhay, and Fuh Se Fantasy. She also started her own dance academy, Elevate Dance Institute.

Social media makes us more nosy. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's ‘scandal' is a symptom
Not gonna lie. The news of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot getting caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert was refreshingly amusing. Both Byron and Cabot — who frantically hid their faces once the camera turned its lens on them, cosying up — are married, just not to each other. We have always been told that actions have consequences, and it felt strangely satisfying to see it actually play out. As the day unravelled, social media expectedly blew up with memes, some outrageously hilarious. Sample this: 'Coldplay hasn't made a single in years. Last night, they made two.' Short, smart and great wordplay. Irony died a thousand deaths with this one: 'The face you make when 20,000 people witness your HR violation in 4K. Live by the policy, die by the Jumbotron.' And for once, the targets of all the trolling were actually in the wrong (Would that still be called trolling? And is it then justified?). With footage barely ten seconds long, Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's personal business — which until a day ago wasn't even in the knowledge of their respective spouses — had now become everybody's business. So much so that netizens have dug up the identity of the visibly embarrassed woman standing next to the pair — Alyssa Stoddard, the newly appointed Vice President at Astronomer — and deduced from her reaction that she was aware of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's 'affair'. It would, however, be unfair to solely put the blame on social media for our nosiness. Even before we had a screen in front of our eyes 24×7, reality shows like Big Brother, Bachelor, and closer home, Big Boss and Splitsvilla, which quite literally had a camera following the contestants inside a 'house', disrupted whatever little understanding we have of the idea of privacy. It no longer felt inappropriate to watch a stranger in their personal space. The viewers, almost unintentionally, transformed into Peeping Toms, and the behaviour was legitimised by TRP ratings. What social media did was invite participation. The ability to offer your two cents on absolutely anything from the other side of the screen, with no tangible consequences, emboldened our inherent voyeuristic tendencies. Now, people do not hesitate to contribute to and create discourse (or controversy) on any trending topic, irrespective of how qualified they may or may not be to do so. Climate change? Yes. Communal riots? Sure. An actress' body type? Of course. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's affair? Why not? According to the latest findings on what is now being called the 'Coldplay kiss cam scandal', Andy Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, dropped her last name from her Facebook profile after the jumbotron footage started doing the rounds online. Kristin Cabot, who had apparently known and worked with Alyssa Stoddard at several places, has deleted the latter's appointment announcement from her LinkedIn account. Byron has allegedly put out a 'heartfelt' apology letter to his wife and children online, which was later dismissed by an Astronomer spokesperson as 'fake'. Wait, there's more. As of this morning, there is already a report speculating that if Andy Byron and his wife were to divorce, it would cost him over $30 million. Cabot's relationship history has been made public — that she is married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum, and that she was married previously to Kenneth Thornby, with whom the divorce was finalised in 2022. There's also a new video of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot 'locking lips' before the concert began. Now imagine it is you getting 'caught', smoking or kissing your date or casually meeting a potential rival employer, in the background of one of the hundreds and thousands of influencer videos that go viral.
