Earlier, Divya alleged that she had to endure sexist behaviour from spectators at the competition and added that they "focused on irrelevant things like her hair, clothes and accent" during the tournament. In her latest Instagram story, Divya wrote - "I would like to add one last clarification because what i have said is being spun to huge levels, I would not like to be associated with promoting the word "sexism" in my case, I do not wish to be the face of it but to be an ambassador for women's chess and especially young girls and juniors who, like me are aspiring to be top chess players. The only motive has been to ensure a better environment for women chess players and to bring awareness."
