Despite being one of the highest-paid stars in the television industry, with an estimated per-episode earning of Rs 1 to Rs 1.5 Lakh, Divyanka found herself victimized. As of 2025, her estimated net worth stands at Rs 40 Crore, as reported by GQ India. During her busy schedule, she had placed her trust in her CA to manage her financial affairs effectively. However, this trust was shattered when the CA absconded with Rs 12 lakh, which represents approximately 5 to 10% of her annual income.

Divyanka on unravelling the scam

Divyanka recounted how the fraud unfolded, detailing her reliance on the CA, who had been managing her accounts for two years. She stated, “I was working 20–24 hours a day and barely had time to consult other CAs or verify his work.” The CA had convinced her to invest in Fixed Deposits, assuring her that he would handle the funds responsibly.

Believing in his guidance, Divyanka signed four cheques, expecting the CA to deposit the money. Instead, he vanished, taking her hard-earned Rs 12 lakh. In an attempt to recover her funds, she sent a friend to the CA’s city, but out of the four cheques, three bounced, leading to a loss of Rs 9 lakh.

Divyanka on legal challenge

Despite her efforts, legal recourse proved futile. Divyanka shared her disappointment, stating, “Even our lawyer turned out to be untrustworthy. He told me, ‘Ma’am, all your files are missing.’ Eventually, I gave up the fight.” This experience served as a painful lesson about trust and vigilance in financial matters.
