Divya Bharti was born on 25 Feb 1974, she was a volatile young
girl who was set to topple the top heroines of Bollywood but fate
played a cruel hand in taking her life away aged
just 19. She had fallen from the window of her fifth floor
at Tulsi apartments in Versova on 6 April around midnight.
There were many rumours surrounding
her accidental death, which will remain a mystery forever.
She was cremated on 7 April dressed in bridal finery.
Divya had achieved so much in her short lifetime and carved
a niche for herself in the Indian cinema. She was equally
popular in the south as well and had given outstanding
performances in movies that became superhits.
She had 14 films in hand without any release, Divya made her
debut in Rajiv Rai's movie, Vishwatma. Although the movie was
not a major hit, her dance number 'saat samundar paar' brought
her into the limelight. She had worked with some of the top
directors and banners, which brought about major blockbusters that made people
appreciate her. Divya won the Filmfare award for the outstanding popular face
in 1992. She was considered to be a hard working actress who also loved to play pranks.
She had converted to Islam and taken on the name 'Sana' to secretly marry Sajid Nadidawala in May 1992.
Divya was replaced in top class banner movies such as Laadla, Vijaypath, Andolan & Mohra that were left
incomplete due to her untimely death. All these movies became superhits, which proves that she would have
been the number uno by now but I am sure she will always shine like a star wherever she may be.
