Divyanka Tripathi has spoken out strongly after husband
Vivek Dahiya’s name was excluded from the cast credits of his upcoming film Akshardham. Featuring Akshaye Khanna and Gautam Rode, the film is set for a theatrical release, but the omission has left the couple—and their fans—upset.
In a new vlog shared by Vivek, the actor discussed his role in the film, expressing passion for the project despite his limited screen time. “Bhale mera chhota sa role tha, lekin joh film thi, uske liye main bohot passionate tha,” he said. Shockingly, he revealed, “Unhone cast mein mera naam hi nahi dala tha… I have kept my expectations and hopes low in the industry.”

Reacting to this, Divyanka expressed her frustration, highlighting how common such treatment is for outsiders. “Kayi log nepotism aur har tarah ki baatein karte hai, but jab khud ke saath hota hai, tab gussa aata hai. Itni mehnat kiya hai bande ne,” she said. Calling acting “a very patience wala kaam,” she further added, “Logon ka naam dalna basic hota hai. Jo log film background se aate hain, unko sab kuch tashtari mein milta hai.”
The couple thanked their fans for noticing the missing credit and offering support. “It means a lot when people speak up and stand by you,” Divyanka shared.
Vivek’s film Akshardham (earlier titled State of Siege: Temple Attack) is now gearing up for release. But this episode has reignited conversations around nepotism, fairness, and the everyday struggles faced by hardworking actors who often go unrecognized. For Divyanka, the issue is simple: hard work deserves basic respect—and credit.
