She was indeed a brilliant and beautiful actress I was quite upset to hear about her death in the early 90's she had such a bright future ahead of her, it was not fair that her life was cut so short. It was never proved that it was hubby who killed her and I guess we'll never know, even though I think he did push her off that building. God Bless her soul.

Ramba looks a lot like her I remember when Ramba came to bollywood everyone was going nuts at her resemblence to Divya

Yeah, I believe so... The death was presented as suicide... Appeartly she was drunk and leaning over the window and fell... A lot said that she didn't come from good home either... Her parents saw her as money-machine... I'm not sure if they agreed to the marriage or not.... But the marriage did happen - very secretly... No one knew till after her death..

For her funeral some big names in the industry (at that time) showed up.

Lovely pics. Yeah, I liked Divya Bharati too. She was definitely one of the few good actresses of her time. She was way better than the bimbettes of today like Kareena and Mallika Sherwat. 😊

i had read an article in stardust when she had died. they had interviewed the maid who was present at the time that she died. and apparently she was drunk and either fell off or committed suicide.

there was no mention of sajid even being present there. who knows what happened. i don't think its fair to point fingers when we ourselves don't know what happened.

I thought she resembled Sridevi and Rambha. In fact after her death some of the Hindi movies went to Sridevi and Telugu movies were done by Rambha.

She was very pretty. Killed by her husband Sajid Nadiadwala (Producer of Heyy Baby) at age 19 because she knew his underworld connections with Dawood.

Killed 😳

Can someone tell me the whole story because I am only fourteen and I don't really know much about Divya but loved her in all her movies😭

[edit] Personal life
Divya Bharti was born to parents Meeta and Om Prakash. She left studies to start acting at the age of 16. She secretly married Bollywood film producer Sajid Nadiadwala in May of 1992, but kept the marriage a secret due to family, problems and also to safeguard her movie career. She was said to have converted to Islam changing her name to Sana.


[edit] Film career
Divya was first discovered by Kirti Kumar, brother of actor Govinda in 1988 and was considered for a role in the film Radha Ka Sangam opposite Govinda but was eventually turned down.

Divya Bharti made her acting debut at the age of 16 in a 1990 Tamil film titled Nila Pennae and her first hit was the Telugu film titled Bobbili Raja (1990) in which she starred opposite Venkatesh. The film was also dubbed in Hindi as Rampur Ka Raja. She went on to star in four more hit Telugu films; Dharma Kshetram, Tholi Mudhu, Rowdy Alludu and Assembly Rowdy in which she co-starred with Telegu superstars Balakrishna, Prashanth, Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu respectively.

She then switched over to the Bollywood industry and made her Hindi film debut in the 1992 film Vishwatma. The film was an average hit at the box office[1] but got her noticed for the song picturized on her in the film Saat Samundar which was popular at the time. Many of her other films released that same year which was a record for any newcomer actress in Bollywood at the time. Some of her most notable films in 1992 included Deewana, Dil Aashna Hai and Shola Aur Shabnam putting her at the top of the leading upcoming actresses in Bollywood that year.[1]and gaining her the Filmfare Lux New Face Award. She worked with most of the top actors in Bollywood at the time such as Sunny Deol, Rishi Kapoor, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt as well as Shahrukh Khan and Sunil Shetty who made their debut in films with her as their first heroine.


[edit] Death
On April 5, 1993 at the age of only 19, Divya fell to her death off a 5-storey apartment building in Mumbai tragically ending a potentially successful career. The circumstances behind her death were considered suspicious by the media; however, despite an investigation, police found no evidence that her death was murder. To this day her death remains a mystery. Some sources believe she accidentally fell off, was murdered or committed suicide. One source however believes her husband Sajid Nadiadwala's links with the Mumbai mafia and involvement in the 1993 Bombay bombings on March 12, 1993 resulted in her death but this has never been proven to be true.[2]

Divya's funeral took place on April 7.[3]About 500 people attended the funeral of the then youngest heroine of the silver screen, including Anil Kapoor, Kamal Sadanah, Raj Babbar, Yash Chopra, Jimmy Nirula, Sudhakar Bokade, Mukesh Duggal, Raza Murad, Vikas Anand, Venkatesh, Ram Mohan, Javed Khan, Raj Kanwar, Nitin Manmohan and Pehlaj Nehlani, maker of her first hit, Shola aur Shabnam. A large number of film personalities, including Hema Malini, Urmila Matondkar, Shilpa Shirodkar, Sonu Walia , Somy Ali, Karisma Kapoor, Sangeeta Bijlani, Tabu, Manisha Koirala and Asha Parekh, offered condolences to the bereaved family members at their residence.[4]

Divya's two final completed films Rang and Shatranj were released months after her death. These, in addition to several films produced by her husband Sajid Nadiadwala, were dedicated to her memory. She was also meant to do movies including Mohra, Laadla , Kartavya (1995), and Vijaypath before her death.
