Bigg Boss OTT winner Divya Agarwal recently tied the knot with Apurva Padgaonkar on February 20 this year. Months after the wedding, the couple has been accused of non-payment of brokerage for their flat. Popular real estate consultant Rafique Merchant took to his social media account to share that the couple has been delaying the payment of his brokerage of 1%. He urged the couple to complete his payment and not ignore his calls and messages. Soon after the video went viral, several social media users expressed their angst on the actress for not making full payment. 

Social media users express disappointment in Divya Agarwal 

On July 9, Rafique Merchant took to his social media account to accuse Divya Agarwal and her entrepreneur husband of not completing his brokerage on the Lodha Bel Air flat sold to them by him. He argued that the couple had blocked his number making it difficult for him to make any contact with them. He also added that the duo is refusing to pay his brokerage because they have sold the flat in a deal that rendered losses for them. 

In the video, the real-estate agent says, “Divya Agarwal, please meri brokerage release kar do. Mera 1%, mera haq mujhe adda kar do. Meine aapko Lodha Bel Air mein flat bechke de diya. Aap raazi-khushi se meeting mein aaye, registration mein aaye. Uske baad aapne phone uthana band kar diya aur block kar diya. Messages, DMs, sab block kar diya. Please aise kyun kar rahe ho? (Divya Agarwal, please release my brokerage fee. My 1%, my right, please give it to me. I sold you a flat in Lodha Bel Air. You came to the meeting and registered happily. After that, you stopped answering my calls and blocked me. Messages, DMs, everything is blocked. Why are you doing this?”\

He also mentioned Divya’s husband and urged him to complete the payment as he promised him the same earlier. Saying, “Apurva Padgaonkar, you are a well-known celebrity and a famous businessman. Aap bhi aise kyu kar rahe ho. (you are also doing this),” Rafique urged him to release his pending payment. He concluded the video by saying, "Mein request karta hu Divya aur Apurva ke friends ko ki unke samajiye, ki humne aapne kaam kar diya hai. Lekin unhone brokerage release nahin ki hai. Humari koi galti nahin hai. Please release my brokerage (I request Divya and Apurva's friends to make them understand that we did our job. But they haven't released the brokerage fee. It's not our fault. Please release my brokerage).” Divya and Apurva are yet to respond to the accusations made by the broker.
