A young girl who was dressed up in bridal finery and surrounded by hundreds of people in a Mumbai suburb, instead of being sent to her “sasural”, was being taken to the crematorium that was the tragic end of the 19-year old Divya bharthi.

Divya Bharthi was born on 25th February, 1974 in Mumbai (Bombay) to Om Prakash and Meeta. She left college her mid-way and started acting in films.

Divya Bharthi had become a star from her very first film and perhaps she was only actress of her times among the young lot who had 14 films in hand without any release, Divya was in the ninth standard when producers started approaching her to work in films.  She was discovered by director Kirti Kumar around 1988 in a Mumbai Video Library.

She was to play the lead role opposite Govinda in Radha Ka Sangam, but was later dropped.

Divya’s big break came with Super Producer in Telugu Film Industry Mr. D. Rama Naidu, for the Superb Hit of BOBBILI RAJA in this picture the hero was son of the producer and the one of the famous Telugu Film Star Victory Venkatesh.  And it will also created a lot of new records in the Andhra Pradesh.  People are seen Divya was the little mask of Indian Bollywood No.1 Sreedevi.  After this hit she got very good opportunities in Telugu Films.  Assembly Rowdy the mega hit of that year (hero Mohan Babbu now he was MP) and Dharma Kshetram with the son of the Telugu Anna (NTR) Balakrishna is also a box-office hit.  And she got a good opportunity to play a lead role with Andhra Pradesh Mega Star Chiranjeevi in the film Rowdy Alludu and it was also a super duper hit in Telugu and Tamil.  And Divya popularity was spread all over the India. Then some of the Hindi producers are come back to give lead roles to Divya.  Then she got first opportunity in Hindi and she shifted to Telugu Film Industry to “Bollywood “.

When she was offered Rang opposite Mamal Sadannah rejected by Karishma she asked the dress designer to alter the dresses made for the other actress to suit her instead of wasting money on new cloths. She was not in favour of wastage and neither was she not  oney-minded. When Rajiv Rai offered her Mohra opposite Sunil Shetty, she did not take a penny from him because he had introduced her in Vishwatma. Films like Mohra,  Vijaypath and Laadla were left incomplete because of her sudden death.  When DD showed clippings of Laadla with Divya in the main role followed by those done by Sridevi (who had replaced her in the film), viewers felt that Divya was better in some scenes that Sridevi!.  She did have the makings of becoming a big star but fate decides over and above what the humans plan.  Divya was destined otherwise.

Divya Bharti fell in love with film producer Saajid Nadiadwala and married him secretly. But her life tragically came to an end when she fell from fifth floor of her flat in Yari Road, Versoa, at midnight on 5th April, 1993 The circumstances behind her death were considered suspicious by the media however police could not find any evidence to prove that it was murder. Two of Divya Bharti’s films “Rang” and “Satranj” were released after her death.

Whether the promising actress (who had risen within a short period and was expected to reach the top in the coming years of Indian Bollywood) committed suicide or met an accidental death remains a mystery.
