Many stars come to the world of Bollywood and win peoples hearts with their acting. But some stars shine on the cinematic scene for a very short time. Even after that their name is remembered for years. One such actress was Divya Bharti. People used to compare her looks with Sridevi. She became so famous at a young age that even actresses like Karisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon started fearing her stardom. In the 90s Divya won millions of hearts with her talent innocence and beauty. But at the age of 19 her lifes journey ended suddenly.
Superstar and award winner at a young age
Divya Bhartis film career was very short. But what she achieved is difficult even for many big stars. She debuted in Telugu films at the age of 16 and soon moved towards Hindi cinema. In a career of just 2-3 years she became the queen of superhit films. Her film Vishwatma was released in 1992. Its song Saat Samundar Paar is still on peoples lips. Apart from this films like Deewana Shola Aur Shabnam Dil Ka Kya Kasoor made her a star overnight. She also won the Filmfare Award for Best Debut at such a young age.
Tragic death and unfinished films
On the night of 5 April 1993 Divya Bhartis life took a turn that no one can forget. She fell from the balcony of her Mumbai flat and died before reaching the hospital. This incident shook the entire film industry. At that time she was only 19 years old and was working on 12 films which remained incomplete. One of these was Ladla movie. Which was later completed by Sridevi.
Similarly heroines like Juhi Chawla Karisma and Raveena were cast in her other films. There were many questions and discussions about her death but even today it remains a mystery. If Divyas career had continued she would probably have been one of the biggest superstars of Bollywood.
