Divya Khossla reveals she lived in slum for her role in ‘Ek Chatur Naar’

Actress Divya Khossla revealed that she lived in a slum in Lucknow to get a better understanding of her role in her upcoming drama “Ek Chatur Naar,” opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh. Calling it a one-of-a-kind experience, Divya got to witness the life of slum dwellers during her stay. She also posted a couple of images from the film, posing in simple salwar kameez without any makeup. She was seen wearing a black threat around her neck, with her hair braided. Divya will appear in a never-before-seen avatar in her next, exuding confidence and wit, with a hint of mystery.

Sharing a glimpse of her latest journey, Divya penned on her IG: “Lived in a slum in Lucknow to understand the life of slum dwellers for my role in #EkChaturNaar. It’s been a one-of-kind experience to witness the other side of living, and bring it to life with this transformation. Can’t wait to take you all on this rollercoaster of a quirky comedy! 12 Sitambar ko hosiyari suru #chaturgiri #divyakhossla.”

The makers dropped the first look poster for both Divy and Neil from the movie. While Divya embraced a rural avatar, Neil looked dapper in a shap suit with a gun in his hand. Made under the direction of Umesh Shukla, “Ek Chatur Naar” enjoys an extensive cast with Chhaya Kadam, Rajniesh Duggall, Sushant Singh, Yashpal Sharma, Zakir Hussain, Heli Daruwala, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Rose Sardana, and Kumar Saurabh in crucial roles, along with others. Backed by Umesh Shukla, Ashish Wagh, and Zeeshan Ahmed under the T-Series banner, “Ek Chatur Naar” is set to reach the cinema halls on Sept.12.

Divya was last seen in action thriller film directed by Abhinay Deo. The film stars Anil Kapoor in an extended cameo appearance, Divya and Harshvardhan Rane. Inspired by the tale of Savitri and Satyavan, it tells the story of a simple housewife who attempts to jailbreak her husband from a high-security prison in England. It is a remake of 2008 French film “Anything for Her.” The plot follows a wife who takes extreme measures to break her husband out of prison after he is wrongfully convicted for the murder of his boss.

Meanwhile, marking Sridevi’s 62nd birth anniversary on Aug.13, Divya decided to pay tribute to the legendary actress with a heartfelt performance on her iconic song “Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai” from her 1989 outing “ChaalBaaz”. Khossla dropped a fun video on her official Instagram account, where she was seen dressed as a maid with a simple salwar kammez, sans makeup. Previously, producer Boney Kapoor also remembered Sridevi by sharing a cherished memory from 1990, when his better half mistook his compliment for teasing.

Posting a throwback picture from Sridevi’s 27th birthday back in 1990 on social media, Boney revealed that at her birthday party in Chennai, he wished her a “happy 26th birthday” on purpose, which the late star misunderstood and thought he was teasing her.
