Actress Divyaa Dwivedi, who's starred opposite Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kissen and Manoj Tiwari in several hit films, played the sensuous character Savita Bhabhi on Jai Hind, India's first internet-based comedy show.
Now, after a string of shows on Doordarshan and a brief stint as a radio host, the actress has crossed a milestone -- she is now 50 films old in the industry.
Born as Rekha Kumari Dwivedi in Patna, Divyaa started out with a childrens' show on radio and got her first acting job as the lead in Doordarshan's show Rajeshwari.
The actress has also appeared in several music videos and learned dance from the likes of Saroj Khan.
Her first Bollywood acting job was in Tusshar Kapoor-starrer Yeh Dil and Arbaaz Khan's Alibaba Aur Chhalis Chor.
Divyaa has starred in over 20 Bhojpuri films along with Ravi Kissen, Manoj Tiwari among others.
Her first film was Ganga Jaisan Paawan opposite Ravi Kissen and was directed by Nadiya Ke Paar director Govind Moonis.
The starlet is Divyaa now working on a pilot of a comedy show called Saath Saaliyan to Doordarshan.
She believes that DD doesn't have many comedy shows and it gives her new project tremendous scope to do well.
Fifty odd Bhojpuri films later, the actress confesses that she thought she wouldn't do well in Bhojpuri films since she wasn't very well endowed.
Here's to seeing more of her in showbiz.
