GUYS, I feel so DUMB for not knowing this! If anyone here knows who she is. Well she is the Actress from "DEEWANAA"-with Rishi Kapoor and SRK. I just found this out last week while reading a thread at TB...I can't believe she died! I use to admire her alot so it was a shock to me! No wonder I was thinking how come she has no more releases but I just thought maybe she got married and quit! Then when I found out I was so so so SAD! She was so GEORGOUS and she died at age 19 at the peak of her rising career. Some believe she could of done better than MADHURI! SO sad man!
Heres more on it!
Divya Bharti made her acting debut at the age of 16 in a Telugu film called Bobbili Raja (1990) which starred Venkatesh. This movie was dubbed in Hindi as Rampur Ka Raja. Then she starred in three more Telegu films Dharma Kshetram, Tholi Mudhu and Rowdy Alludu which featured Telegu superstars Prashanth and Chiranjeevi respectively.
She made her Hindi film debut in the 1992 film Vishwatma. The film did not do well at the box office but got her noticed for the song used in the film Saat Samundar which was popular at the time. 1992 saw more of her Hindi films being released including Deewana, Dil Aashna Hai, Shola Aur Shabnam etc. Some of these films were hits and some flopped but her fanbase grew and she was the leading actress of 1992 having received the Filmfare Lux New Face Award that same year.
She secretly married Bollywood film producer Sajid Nadiadwala in May 1992 but kept the marriage a secret due to family problems and also to safeguard her movie career. After marriage she converted into Islam with her new name being Sana Nadiadwala.
[edit] Death
On April 5, 1993, she 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 and some say she was drunk and this caused her to fall.
About 500 people attended the funeral of the then youngest heroine of the silver screen, including Anil Kapoor, Amrish Puri, 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.[1]
A large number of film personalities, including Hema Malini, Karisma Kapoor, Sangeeta Bijlani, Sridevi, Manisha Koirala and Asha Parekh, offered condolences to the bereaved family members at their residence.
Her two final films Rang and Shatranj were released after her death and dedicated to her memory. Her husband Sajid Nadiadwala continues to dedicate all his produced films in her memory to this day.
In her short career which lasted nearly two years in the Hindi Film Industry, she acted in a staggering 13 films.
She was meant to do movies including Mohra, Laadla and Vijaypath before her untimely death.
She 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 turned down. She later went on to star with Govinda in the hit film Shola Aur Shabnam in 1992 and the less successful Jaan Se Pyara the same year.[2]
She is said to have beared some resemblance to top Bollywood legend Sridevi Kapoor as well as South Indian actress Rambha.
