5 Divyanka Tripathi
Divyanka comes from a city called Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. You may be pleasantly surprised to know that she learnt mountaineering from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering and also enrolled herself into a rifle-shooting course. The multitalented woman possesses a gold medal in riflery.
Divyanka climbed the ladder of fame, success, and wealth rather quickly. Clearly established as one of the most popular actresses on television, she rose to fame by playing a dual role in Banoo Main Teri Dulhann for which she also won the Indian Television Academy award for Best Actress in the drama category.
She has acted in roughly 14 serials but the one that catapulted her into spotlight was Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, for her portrayal of Dr. Ishita.
Her successful career was shadowed with a modest beginning. She started her career as an anchor on Akash Vani in Bhopal. She participated in Pantene Zee Teen Queen in 2003 and won the title of Miss Beautiful Skin. She was also crowned Miss Bhopal in 2005.
Divyanka has also won many laurels such as the Best Actress award at the Indian Television Academy Awards and shares the Most Popular On-Screen Couple title with her on-screen husband. Currently, she earns anywhere between Rs. 80,000 to 1 lakh for one episode.
At present, she is happily married to her long-time boyfriend and co-star Vivek Dahiya.
