Actress Divya Bharti dies at nineteen: 27 years later, her untimely death remains a mystery to many – Bollywood

The rise of Divya Bharti and her premature death on April 5, 1993 continue to intrigue fans, 27 years after her death. Was there an accident or was there something else?

According to police records, Divya’s death remains an accident. The young actor was intoxicated when she stepped on the balcony ledge of her 5th floor house in Mumbai, slipped and fell. She reportedly continued to breathe when she was rushed to hospital, but died when she arrived. She was declared dead when she arrived. Divya died of fatal head injuries.

However, his fans refuse to believe that such a promising star and such a young actor could have left. Conspiracy theories abound – a random search on the Internet will launch a number of websites, claiming a lot. Some said it was murder while others said it was suicide. An old 2011 Hindustan Times report explained how the rumors were behind the fact that it was the work of the underworld. Roshmila Bhattacharya wrote: “I remember the day … April 6, 1993. I had just entered the office when I was informed that Divya Bharti had been shot.” Who took the photos? Gautam Rajadhyaksha or Rakesh Shrestha? “I asked. My colleague responded by saying he was not talking about photographs.” She was shot, I am told that the underworld is involved, “he whispered. I dismissed it as mere rumor, but within minutes the news was confirmed that Divya was dead. ”

“At the hospital, we learned that Divya had apparently slipped from the ledge on which she had been perched. There were whispers of suicide and even murder, but ultimately his death was judged to be an accident and the file was closed. “

The article tells how the last moments before she breathes her last. “She was rushed to Cooper Hospital, still breathing, clutching the sleeve of the doctor’s shirt even as he assured her that she would be fine. Then, as they entered the hospital doors, she allegedly tugged on Dr. Lulla’s sleeve one last time, before her grip dropped. She was declared dead when she arrived, “he added.

In addition, his family firmly believed that it was an accident.

Speaking in India Today, Divya’s father, Om Prakash Bharti, said: “There was no question of suicide or murder. Yes, she drank a little but how much can you drink in half an hour? And she was not depressed. She was the type to make you depression! “

“It was an accident. She sat on the ledge, lost her balance and fell. Unfortunately, all the apartments had gates, except hers. The cars would still be parked underneath but that night there was not a single one. It fell directly to the ground. I was shocked and lost my senses. But ultimately you have to face the truth. “

The short but eventful life of Divya Bharti was a kind of legend, in some ways. Decades before nepotism became a word a stranger would cling to, she was a Bollywood alien who grew up not only in Bollywood, but also in Telugu movies. She has no film heritage – her father was an insurance agent and her mother a housewife. Yet what an amazing climb was hers.

Beginning when she was still a teenager, her first film itself, Bobbili Raju (1990), opposite Venkatesh (Rana Daggubati’s uncle) was a huge success. In fact, it is still remembered as one of the greatest Telugu hits of the 90s. The teen actor would then form a winning combination with the best actors Telugu Chiranjeevi, Mohan Babu and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Subsequently, she gave more successes like Rowdy Alludu and Assembly Rowdy.

Having established his footing in Telugu films, it was time to try his luck in Hindi films. In fact, before the release of her Telugu films, she had been considered for two major projects in Mumbai – Radha Ka Sangam (with Govinda, a role that was ultimately awarded to Juhi Chawla) and Gunahon Ka Devta (1988 with Mithun Chakraborty) – both were blocked. However, after her super stardom in the Telugu movies, there was no Divya stop. From her first film Vishwatma (1991) in Kshatriya (her last release in her life), she worked in one blockbuster film after another, the most remarkable being the star of David Dhawan Govinda Shola Aur Shabnum and Shah Rukh Khan and Rishi Kapoor starrer Deewana.

Looking at the films she had partially shot and which had then been completed by my other actors or who had signed to work, would give an idea of ​​the excitement of the industry with the perspective of this new and young star – Anil Kapoor and Raveena Tandon’s Laadla (her role would later have been taken over by Sridevi), she was replaced in Mohra by Akshay Kumar, Vijaypath by Ajay Devgn and Dilwale (all the films became successes). She has projects aligned with actors Akshay Kumar (Parinaam), Salman Khan (Do Kadam), Rishi Kapoor (Kanyadaan), Sunny Deol (Bajrang) and Jackie Shroff (Chal Pe Chal). Does it get bigger in Bollywood in the 90s?

Divya is best known for its dynamic personality, beauty, versatility and liveliness. Tune into all of today’s retro music channels and you will likely hear Vishwatma’s “Saat Samundar” playing.
