Divya Bharti had become a star from her very first film and perhaps she was ony
actress of her times among the young lot who had 14 films in hand without any
release. Born on 25th February, 1974 to Meeta and Om Prakash Bharti, Divya was
in the ninth standard when producers started approaching her to work in films.
She was discovered by direcctor Kirti Kumar around 1988 in a Mumbai Video
Library. She was to play the lead role oppositeGovinda 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 Flims. 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 ".
Divya Bharti debut in Hindi film was Rajiv Rai's Vishwatma opposite to the
Indian Arnold Sunny Deol. Although the film sank, Divya was noticed. People
still remember her beautiful dance number saat samunder paar mein terre......
Her Deewana with Shah Rukn Khan, Shola Aur Shabnam with Govinda hit the bull's
eye. With in the industry though Divya was known as a hard working actress when
was infamous for her erratic mood swings. She had allegedly slashed her wrists
when she was thrown out of Radha Ka Sangam uinceremoniously. She married Sajid
Nadiadwala in May 1992 but the marraige was kept a secret for a long time to
safeguard her sharply ascending career. But she need't really have been bothered
because in 1992 she was adjudged the best for the most Outstanding Popular Face
Award for the year.
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 money-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 becomming a big star but fate decides over and above what the
humans plan. Divya was destined otherwise.
She died from falling off a sixth-floor building while she was drunk. However,
the papers say it was a murder. Was married to Sajid Nadiadwala in a secret, due
to family problems. Following her death, she left incomplete movies - Geet, Rang
and Shatranj. She was also meant to do movies like Mohra, Laadla and Vijaypath.
