Dubai Bling’s Diva Dee on backlash, grace and staying classy

In this no-holds-barred episode of Glam in the Gulf, Dubai Bling star Danya, famously known as Diva Dee, joins us for an unfiltered conversation like no other.

Diva Dee opened up about what it means to carry Emirati values into the global spotlight, and how, despite the drama, glam, and public scrutiny, her marriage not only survived, but it also got stronger.

She addresses her most talked-about relationships on the show, including her conflict with Safa, her business dynamic with Ebraheem, and the rapid-fire realities of navigating friendship, loyalty, and pressure under the camera’s lens.

But perhaps the boldest revelation?
“No one was real.”
Danya clarifies that while Dubai Bling wasn’t scripted, cast members were placed in situations where they had to respond on the spot, leading to reactions, judgments, and conflicts that weren’t always pretty, but undeniably made the show famous.

She also reveals:

• Her current relationship status with Safa (they’re fine now, but what aired can’t be erased)
• That she can rely on Lojain Omran and calls her a real-life diva
• That Farhana is her “ride or die”, always showing up, even when there’s “no glam”
• Her confirmation that Season 4 is happening, though whether she’s in it is “to be seen”

To top it off, Danya gave us a personal styling session, with two full-glam looks curated by her stylist that screamed bling, boldness, and Diva energy.

This isn’t the edited version. This is the real Danya.
Glamorous, grounded, and saying the things no one else would.
