Asked how she personally interprets the fine line between control and leadership, Divya told IANS: “That's not a fine line at all. It is a huge difference that makes sort of control and leadership because I think a leader mostly makes a team, a good leader, takes the team with you and yeah, dictatorship is something different, of course. “But yes, I think that that line is a very ‘tha’ dialogue, if I may say so in a Punjabi way,” said that actress.
