As Sajid Nadiadwala celebrated his 46th birthday the other day, one can't help but remember Divya Bharti, his first wife and actress who died in 1993 at only age 19. Sajid was 27 then, they had married one year back. Divya would have been 38 now had she lived.



Divya Bharti was at home on the 5th story of an apartment building with her designer friend Neeta Lulla, Neeta's husband Shyam and Divya's maid Amrita.

Apparently Divya had drank some whiskey (how much no one has said, even after post-mortem reports) and had climbed over her balcony window and sat on the tiny ledge below the window. How she managed to do that is peculiar. Whether she fell by accident, suicide or some other reason is unknown. A lot of things have been assumed- some say she was in depression and was suicidal and loved high adrenaline. Others say she must have slipped by accident. Others say that the underworld and Sajid's connections there had something to do with it.

Roshmilla Bhattacharya from Hindustan Times recollection:

"I remember the day…April 6, 1993. I'd just stepped into the office when I was informed that Divya Bharti had been shot. "Who took the pictures? Gautam Rajadhyaksha or Rakesh Shrestha?" I enquired. My colleague responded by saying he wasn't talking photographs. "She's been gunned down, I'm told the underworld is involved," he whispered. I dismissed it as just a rumour, but within minutes, the news was confirmed that Divya was dead."

I think the weirdest part about her death is how she managed to sit or why she wanted to sit on that ledge.

There are thousands of Divya's fans who are trying to gather support online to have her case reopened. It has been futile so far. May she RIP.

My mom was crazy about Shahrukh Khan and Divya Bharti when the movie came out! When she got pregnant with me, it seems she used to go like "God, if it's a girl, I want her to look like Divya Bharti and if it's a boy, then I want him to look like Shahrukh"

But yeah, I remember someone posting Vidya's funeral video in some thread and I got so depressed watching it. I have no clue what happened with her.

I was born in 88. Then maybe my mom used to say that when she was pregnant with my brother? He was born in 95. Lemme ask her when she gets home .

I have always had a suspicion that something foul had taken place to cause the poor young actress's death.

I feel it had something to do with the underworld.

The case sould be re-opened.

I've always read that there was suspicion surrounding how she died, so sad that she died so young she had a promising career ahead of her.
