Kumar started modelling at 18 and moved to Mumbai at 20 where she got her Bollywood break and where she also met Bhushan Kumar.

She made her Bollywood debut in the same year with the film ''Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo'' portraying Shweta opposite Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol. ''Rediff'' noted, "Divya Khosla doesn't have much to so and acts well in a few sequences."

She then took a long break from acting and focused on directing. After completing a course in cinematography and editing, Divya directed music videos for Agam Kumar Nigam, Jermaine Jackson, Tulsi Kumar, and a few ad films.
