In the 1993 film ‘Darr’, Divya was roped in opposite Sunny Deol to play Kiran's role. While there were reports that suggested that Divya was dropped from the film due to her differences with the director and producer Divya's mother later revealed it was Aamir Khan who replaced Divya with Juhi Chawla. Her mother had said that when Sunny Deol was signed, he wished to act alongside Divya. But Aamir allegedly wanted Juhi in the film.
