Divan studied at Bharda New High School in Mumbai and completed his graduation from a medical college in India in 1962. In a post on Facebook, a fellow India-origin US resident, Uma Maheshwari Krishnan, called Dr Divan a "super-charged hero", a physician, philanthropist and community leader.
His wife, Asha Divan, was also a kind-hearted person, the US resident stated. According to the post, the two had at least two sons.
According to Divan's online activity, the doctor was active in the management of local Hindu temples. Moreover, he was also linked with the Hindu Cultural Society of Western New York.
Maheshwari, in another post, also wrote, "From my experience being in the committee and at temple services, there is not a single person who can come closer to his dedication & involvement.”
More details about his wife and the other couple have not been made available yet.
