If I'm excited by the story, I go for it, says Divya Khosla Kumar

She started her career as an actress, but soon after her marriage with T-series head, Bhushan Kumar, she took a different route altogether and decided to call the shots. The result was a breezy college romance drama, Yaariyan. Yes, we are talking about none other than Divya Khosla Kumar, whose short film Bulbul, where she plays the lead, hit YouTube on 8th December.

The actress-filmmaker will soon move on to begin preparations for her next directorial after Sanam Re. Both of her directorial ventures, Yaariyan and Sanam Re, have been in the romantic genre. When asked if she chooses romantic films deliberately, She says that it is the story of the film that excites her more than the genre.


"I don't really go and say, 'I want this genre'. The story itself has to just excite me. If I am excited by the story, I go with it. It's all (by the) heart when you are making films or when you are even selecting scripts or acting.
