I have not watched any Bollywood movies lately, so that’s why I chose this time to write about something else than a movie (review). Divya Bharti, a legend to me, but most of us just forgot her as if she was a one day fly. Let’s not forget, that if she was alive today, she might would’ve been more famous than Aishwarya Rai. Atleast that is certainly what I believe.
For the past few weeks, after that my brother introduced me to some new Bollywood remixes of songs from the 90’s, I got addicted to the song ‘Saath Samundar’ from the movie Vishwatma. Now the remix, I liked, but not that much, as I did remember the original song and it wasn’t quiet as good as that one. So, I had the urge to download the old ‘Saath Samundar’ and listen to the beat and hear the lyrics again. Which I did. And for sure old is gold. It is one of the wickedest songs from the 90’s.
But, the song wasn’t enough for me, so I went to www.youtube.com and downloaded the clip from the movie Vishwatma. And yes, indeed, the clip was much more entertaining than the song itself. Especially seeing Divya dance in the clip, as if there is no tomorrow. The way she slightly moves her arms and pretends that it’s a peace of cake, makes you just realize how good she actually was. Not only in acting, but also in dancing and especially in expressing the song in verbal language. Just the way she starts of the song, trying to convince us that she knows it all and she will show us how to cross the 7 seven oceans. Lovely! Her eyes glance the words of the song and her smile just makes you feel like as if you are already crossing the 7 oceans.
Too bad this young actress passed away at an early age of 19 years. And that, being a dramatically and mysterious death. Until this day her death remains as mystery. They said she fell off a 5-storey apartment building. Though some people claim something else. Did someone push her of the building? Did she commit suicide? Or did her husband Sajid Nadiadwala kill her? Yes, Sajid, the Indian film producer who recently produced the movie Jaan-e-Mann. Let’s not forget that Sajid did, or does, have connection with
Bombay mafia.
A girl, who left her education just because she was so much in love with acting. Started performing in movies at an age of 16. Made 18 movies in a short career and released 13 of them in 1 year, 1992. An actress who has beared resemblance to top Bollywood legend Sridevi and was known for her ambitious capacity. And a woman who just had the chance to be known as a Bollywood actress for only 3 years. 3 wonderful years with a tragic ending.
We don’t know, and I don’t think we will ever know, how Divya left us. All I know, and I think that we all, the Bollywood lovers and even the non-Bollywood lovers, should keep in mind that Divya was not just an actress. She was a role model and an excellent performer on each possible field of acting.
On 5th April 2007, it will be exact 14 years since Divya has passed away. Lets us all keep her in our minds and hearts and remember her as the perfect woman, who didn’t get the chance to show her full identity. Why not the perfect actress? Because you have to be a perfect woman, to be a perfect actress. And only Divya was the one who held on to this rule. She didn’t act because she was an actress; she acted, because she was a woman who knew how to express her feelings, emotions and actions in verbal and non verbal language.
The perfect woman, who stole our hearts with her heavenly smile.

the word ‘perfect’ is a bit over rated, naah?? I liked her too nevertheless :>
At the time of her death, she was signed for three movies (among many others), all of which went on to be big hits. Two of them went to Madhuri Dixit, and the third one went to Sridevi (Ladla), reviving her career for a few more years.
She surely would have turned the number one with those three movies.
agreed, she woudl’ve
too bad she never got the chance
yes perfect is a bit over.. but compared to what we had back then, and what we have right now, as actresses, she is the perfect one from all of them
atleast for me
i still after 14 years .love her .i wish if she can come back
Divya Bharti was definetely a great actress.She was a child woman and looked really beautiful in all movies.Wish she had not married but concentrated on her movies like her colleaques did.
If someone was really serious(including her parents) there was no way that the mystery of Divya Bharti’s death could not be solved.Her death was a great loss to bollywood who had to succumb to wooden actresses like Aishwarya rai,Bipasha Basu etc..May her oul rest in peace.
yes! divya was an ideal actress who had the perfect combination of beauty with talent.
i luv her ,and a great admirer of her.
RUBY>>>
YOU ARE RIGHT .
I ALSO WISH IF SHE HAD NOT MARRIED Spesialy(sajid)coz every one know he is the
reason of her death{WEDDED TO DEATH} STUPIED , AWFUL MAN
I HATE HIM
Divya bharti’s beauty and screen presence was superb as the quality of movies at her time was not as good as now,she still stole th ethunder with her good looks.Let’s remember the title Aishwarya rai won (Miss world)went to others as well (like priyanka chopra) but the tiltle film industry gave Divya(BABY DOLL) could not be taken away from her,not even after her death.Many actresses mersemerised the silver screen but could not not revive the magic she created.
The one who write this article …You are absolutly right. The style of Divya was unique. The passion of Divya was Excellent en powerfull.
I’ll think she will come back. The dream that was stealing from her.. will be come true. one day. I hope that GOD will do something for her.
We don’t know the miracle of GOD. Only GOD knows.
It sounds crazy…But I believe in Reincarnation.
i did’nt watch any of her movies bt i lykf da song saat sumunder paar. for the first tyme when i saw divya bharti inn that. i fort shez reli preety. if she waz around 2dy she wud’v bin rocking. she waz the 1 of the talented actress bak in the 90’s.
god bless her.
Every time when I listen d song”Saat Samundar” I feel that she is alive nd her next movie is waiting to be released.But unfrtunately she is nt with us nd I really miss her for seeing her performance.Whatsoever or whoever had killed her GOD will not let him go so easily.
Lets hope that there will be some miracle and DIVYA will be with us.
i wish sajid would be arrested for her murder soon. there is no other actresses in bollywood like divya bharati. she was the best.
i didn’t know daviya when she was alive,because i was a kid. but after her dead i recocnised her and sence that time i loved her and still i do. i have a caset of her clips and her funeral at the end i have this caset sence 1995. it has been too long that i didn’t watch it but before i watched it every day at least one a day.i was liked her that much that i wanted to be like her, i had every thing like her, clothes hear….. she realy was the best of best. i wish if some body could find her murderer. the bollywood forgot about her but the people never can forgot her.
I was newly married and remember watching Divya Bharti movies on video like, Deewaana, Dil Ashna Hai and Vishwatama and I remember that Divya stood out in them, (so did Shah Rukh Khan). Even today I keep searching for the name of Shah Rukh Khan in the list of the names of the film industry people who attended Divya’s funeral but I do not find it anywhere. It makes me feel sad. Anyway. If even after so many years of her death if we still remember her, then it means that she surely made a very strong impression and she is not dead but really alive in the hearts of all her Fans. Long Live Divya!
I have to add here that when people die at the height of their youth or popularity, they always remain alive forever in the minds of the people. Such examples in the past are Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Mahatma Gandhi and now Divya Bharti. This is the type of power, death brings to them. Strange but true.
R.I.P Divya bharti she was a wonderful actress we all miss her gone bt neva forgotten..I hpe they find her murderer,the case should be reopened..
Oh I was searching for ivya bharti songs in you tube the other day and i realised what a lovely girl she was simply charming.
hi
i love deva bharathi unfortunutly she died i love him so much
my request is this plz share deva bharath song on the site
What i writing about Divya Bharti she is the most papular heroine and like my sister. i like her very much and i love her each every film. i saw her film daily one time. i know she is not available in this world. nobody replaced her work. she is the best… even she is available now i sure she is coming no.1 heroine. now a days bolywood is not remember her this is the very bad matter. paper writing it is not sucide? it is morder? ya it is murder but police has not inquriy who is the morder her. but god is almightily god is know everything. who is response her morder god is stand him/her bad situation. i am also prey for the god. but i think she is until available in our heart. she is rest in peace. god is keep her secretly. we miss her very much.
Divya looked so innocent in her movies.Common on man police can definitely find out what happened that fateful night that turned a lively girl into a mere picture ,hanging on the wall.Why is police so indifferent to her murder?Why there are no efforts to reopen the case?
May allah bless her.When i die and go to heaven i will wish to bring my family and Divya bharti(sana) to live with me there.
may allah bless you.I was so happy when i heard that She was said to have converted to Islam changing her name to Sana.
I love you

Hey everyone,
I am glad you guys agree with me, i still am in love with the song saat samundar, it has been months, but this article I really wrote from the bottom of my heart.
RIP Divya. =)
Aroosa
divya ,
we really miss you and your movies
Well done Aroosa.Hope to see more articles on Divya Bharti soon.Bye take care
Divya was no ordinary actress she was a idol.. I remember at that time how fascinated we were watching every movie until the sudden death. It was a shock ever since i tried collecting her movies/pics/songs and back then there was no internet it wasn’t easy but i love her so much and tried to get whatever i found of her memory.. People of the film industry might have forgotten her but she’s still in the heart of her fans and no matter how many actresses enter this field she will never be replaced.. I pray that i have a baby girl that looks like divya this is my wish and never forget her in our prayers may her soul rest in peace..
Thank you Aroosa for giving us the chance to show what divya meant to us god bless you..
p.s. anyone who has any concerts/pics/movies of divya bharati plz share.. it is so hard to find on the internet .. i would really appreciate it
Divya Bharti was and still is the true Bollywood Queen for me. I fell in love with her innocence and her graceful beauty after watching DEEWANA. Even after 14 years of her death I still love watching her movies, in particularly RANG, DIL AASHNA HAI & SHOLA AUR SHABNAM. Her chemistry with Shahrukh Khan in Deewana was truly amazing and if she was alive, then I would have loved to see more of her on screen chemistry with Shahrukh Khan in films like KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI & DDLJ.

“OM SHANTI OM. anyone or is it just me??

After watching OM SHANTI OM recently, I thought I was the only one who thought that the film may have been a tribute to Divya Bharti’s tragic death. HATS OFF TO FARAH KHAN AND SHAHRUKH KHAN! The film shows how some corrupted producers take advantage of young innocent actresses for their own needs and then when things go downhill they are mudered.
Shahrukh Khan began his career with Divya Bharti and he is a good friend of Farah Khan too, so it is possible that the concept of the entire movie could be the real story of the LOST ANGEL DIVYA BHARTI (OM SHANTI OM)
I am a true fan of Divya Bharti and even today I regularly check up on the internet to see if I can find the real story behind her mysterious death and what really happened to her. I cried alot when I found out that she died and it makes me feel even more sad to know that the Bollywood Film Industry are doing nothing to investigate further for a young actress who contributed to the indian cinema and reached success in a short period of time.
It would be great if GOD sent her back to us in the same way how SHANTI from OM SHANTI OM returns back as SANDY.
WE MISS YOU DIVYA - PLEASE COME BACK ANGEL XX
can somebody please also tell me where I can find concert clips and funeral clips of Divya Bharti……I remember a show called FACE TO FACE which was similar to LEHREN, I remember renting the 1993 episode from a local video shop, which is closed now!
But in this show they showed footage of her career, funeral and her parents! I wish I could see this again…..
anybody please if you have any video footage of Divya then please let me know….
Thank you…
OH! I myself thought that this movie(Om Shanti Om) was based on divya bharti and that the producer shown in the movie was influenced by her real life husband who was also a struggling producer when she died.I also remember that show FACE TO FACE and how it covered her death.Her parents were also interviwed at that time.Our cable people showed that but afterwards I could not see it again.I regularly see movies of divya bharti such as rang,geet,dil ashna hai.She acts marveously well and her dances are superb.No actress except sridevi and madhuri and then divya had this ultimate combination of looks,acting and dancing.Miss her!
I THINK DIVYA WAS A VERY WELL TALENTED WOMAN, I HAVE SEEN NEARLY ALL HER RELEASED MOVIES AND IF SHE WAS ALIVE TODAY SHE WOULD HAVE
HIT THE TOP WITH HER TALENTS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ALL THE TOP DIRECTORS,
DIVYA YOU LIVE IN OUR HEARTS YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW.
MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE.
can somebody please tell me where I can video footage of her funeral and also the CHAMAKTE SITAARE LIVE CONCERT that she performed at with actors like SALMAN KHAN, RAVEENA TANDON, JUHI CHAWLA ETC ETC.
Please help me out here if you love her as much as I do…..THANK YOU!
R.I.P. DIVYA BHARTI - OUR ANGEL…
Divya was a sucessfull actress . I like very much because she’s smile was very pitty I wonder that she was not die than she will famous star of the world. I pray that she will happy.
Hi everybody,
I totally agree with you my friends Divya Bharati deserves to be remembered and cherished.. reading all these comments makes me feel so happy that there are loyal fans that still remember the angle that once touched our lives and made us smile…
i would love to see her full of live smile again..
but plz guys anyone who could share any video of her please upload it it would mean so much to me and i’m sure many others of her big fans ..
I’ve been trying to get old magazines and interviews too but with my luck i only got a hold of one 1992 stardust copy..
Rickstar my friend i feel the same way about our lovely divya and i almost check youtube daily for new additions of her videos just last night a new song was uploaded from her last movie (Shatranj) i just cant believe that just days after filming that movie she left our world … may her soul rest in peace
So guys please lets try to get whatever videos we can of her interviews, concerts, pictures, posters or behind the scenes videos anything you could plz share it with us..
I dont know whether you have noticed that Divya Bharati’s full name was Divya Om Prakash Bharati— Shahrukh Khan’s name was Om Prakash Makhija in Om Shanti Om… Is it just a coincidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????
In loving memory of Divya Bharti, I’d just like to share some of these videos with all of you, that have been added on YouTube. She looks absolutely stunning and beautiful in the Shatranj song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_az8-5tes1w - SHATRANJ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX5htTwY16k - Dance Off - DIL AASHNA HAI
I agree with you Gaurav. I didn’t even notice that name and how it relates to Divya’s father, but yes that is another question that only Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan can answer.
Where is the media journalists and press when you really need them. It’s pathetic how Star News repeat the same old news and reports over and over again old day long, when there are such unleashed stories like Divya’s tragic death, which still continues to remain a mystery!!!!
She was the youngest actress of the 90s to hit it big time and to leave us so soon. Why is she not remembered on TV Shows unlike old actresses are after their demise??!!
Divya’s death is still a BIG issue for me considering it has never been revealed. When I am down and feeling blue, watching her films and songs make me feel sooo happy yet sad but make my problems look really small.
divya will surely come back…someday
I still miss Divya to this day. She was a blessing to the indian cinema. I own almost all movies of her. She was so beautiful n talented. Itz so sad that she left us at such a young age. If she was alive, she’d be the number 1 actress in bollywood. Rest in peace
i m also a huge fan of divya bharti infact arther watchinf of her death clip i thought one day she will come again…n i pray to God tht she will come again…bcoz i want to see her..but i knw its my childhood tought…
but after watching om shanti om…i also consider shahrukh name is om prakash…i thought tht this idea may be come from her life bcoz shahrukh one of lucky men who spent time wid her…may be he remembers us…i like shahrukh khan wid divya bharti sometime i think if she is alive thn their couple look awosom..but …..
can somebody please also tell me where I can find concert clips and funeral clips of Divya Bharti……
i really want to see this…i also want to share tht shola shabnam movie was coming on zee cinema on 7 may 2007 when i saw the song tujhe pechan liya ray…she said …ka laut ker na aog…wen i listen these wordings …i start doing crying…i also remember tht clip of her ……..its really pain fulll

Divya was an angel. Sajid will go to hell if he had a hand behind her death!!!

Hello all,
I completely agree with all you Divya fans, that she was one of the most talented, stunning and finest actor our industry ever had!! Just watch her in the song Saat Samundar; what moves, so confident. And this happens to be her debut film, isn’t it unbelievable!! Its rare to see such qualities in todays debutants. If you search in youtube, you will find a video of her funeral procession. But try not watching it, as will iust make you feel more sad and think how could such a beautiful life be cut short so cruelly!!!
Interesting observations about OSO’s storyline and Divya’s death. Sadly our bollywood has a very short-lived memory. No one remembers her anymore at any of these glittering film ceremonies, not even her co-actors like SRK or Sunny.
Like any other Divya Bharati fan , I too sincerely wish that may she rest in
peace and somewhere still faintly hope that may some miracle happen and her case gets re-opened for fresh investigations.
I completely agree with all of u,thank you all for remmembring divya even after such a long time..I ws as devastated like u guys when heard in the radio that she ws no more.After that i went into depression for 6 long years,ran away from home to avenge her death to bombay ,my parents brought me back,I failed in 7th standard.I was an emotional wreck,for a person whom I didn’t even know personally! meanwhile my parents treated me through a pchyciatrists(pls ignore spelling),it did help a bit,but god had some other plan,my mother past away in ‘99 & I had to help myself to recover & help dad & brother to come out of the black hole of depression that they were in..becos I have been there!..
Here are few things I’d like to share with you all! Even after 15 years, the veteran actress still remains in our hearts!
Let’s go back in time,the time of Divya’s death, it was said/believed that the cause of her death was excessive drinking..but the circumstances surrounding it all was very mysterious.I’m sure back then so many questions came to our minds and that too without any reasonable answers! This was annoying!
Here is what I think or ask myself, when someone is so badly drunk and is barely able to stand that he/she would fall to their death ..then how come that person is able to walk to , in divya’s case ,walk toward the balcony without stumbling or falling in between the distance of rooms to their balcony?
Which leads to the question whether she was accompanied by her hubby or some outsider, or was actually then pushed by that person taking advantage of her drunkenness?now, again if sajid was plotting all of this..i think why should he do it in their home ?shouldn’t he have chosen other place?that would put him away from the picture after all??
Also nobody has ever heard of Divya’s drinking episodes before which should rule out the fact that she had an accidental death??and as for suicidal death it is completely unjust to the actress herself because back then she was at the top of her boosting career.
Again, who would benefit from her murder if at all it was such a case?
They should reopen the case to go to its root and dig out the truth! Only then would her soul rest in peace.
Does anybody remember their own drinking story? I remember mine as simple as passing out on the couch or in my own room.
just look at the actresses today ,inspite of the heavy makeups and barely visible outfits they stand nowhere..take for example bipasha, mallika, celina etc etc I don’t even remember their names..do they have a class??
shahrukh started his bollywood carrer with divya bharti ..shouldn’t he have at the least attended her funeral to bid her farewell ..when bigger actor’s at the time as late amrish puri was their..and many others karishma, sangeeta bijlani,aruna irani,manisha koirala, tabu,hema malini were there and govinda too i guess.
Many Hppry Returns Of The Day My Dearest Loving Divya Bharati.
it is very difficult in the world today to be just like her
i love u divya bharti forever
divya bharti was a superstar, n yet she is sparkling in ou hearts,her beauty is god gifted,i always loved her n always will.her husband shud have been arrested stupid ,idiot man.i hope he gets cursed badly n die soon.
divya bharti was a superstar, n yet she is sparkling in our hearts,her beauty was god gifted,i always loved her n always will.her husband shud have been arrested stupid ,idiot man.i hope he gets cursed badly n die soon.
The great angel left the world with an tragic death
The perfect woman, who stole our hearts with her heavenly smile
divya plz come to the earth the world is waiting 4 u
divya will always remember for his great job.when she were died i was child
You know what, I dont think her husband was involved.. he fainted at her funeral and he also fainted when hearing the news of her death… sounds to me like he must have loved her a lot.
Just watch her in movies like-Dil ka kya kasoor,Rang etc.These were not very high budget movies.Still she rocked.She was beautiful and I like her dressing style as well.She looked very charming.Her dances added grace to the songs.I really wish she was alive and we would have seen her in songs like-Tu cheez badi hai mast mast and Ruk ruk.I am sure these songs would have been even bigger hits had she been in them.
today is 5th april, the day when divya was murdered by her husband. may her soul rest in peace.
i think that divya bharthi was 1 of the best actresses goin in da earlY 90’s and if she does come back it would create a hungama wat wil sajid do????? marry her again or kill her again lol and if she does come back then all of da actrsses lyk aishwarya rai n dem wil be history
i hope she does come back lyk shanti in om shanti om and then just lyk srk in om shanti om we can punish whoeva is responsible for her death R.I.P
I LOVE DIVYA BHARTHI SHE WAS DA BEST AND SHE WAS FIT
hey i think that just like every other actress like kareena kapoor and aishwarya rai divya bharthi was also very pretty and had a very good talent in acting it is just a shame that god decided to end her life at such an early age but many people die it alwayz happens. i just hope that divya could have made more films because i enjoy waching her movies R.I.P divya god rest your soul xxxxxxxx
Divya was definitely the best. Sajid will be punised for what he did to her, fainting at her pyre was just a big show…he killed her and was fainting with guilt probably.
She would have hit off Sridevi and others if she was alive today. I hope someday she will come back to us but for now I’ll keep listening to Saat Samandar and her hot dance number from Rang and Deewana and remember her forever.
I think there is a clip of her funeral on youtube….check it out if you’re interested.
Peace.
hi every one i believe everyting what u have wrote in this article,i really miss her i believe that some one has killed her she is some one who doesn’t give up that easily to kill her self or lose her self by drinking i dnt understand why cnt indian police do someting about it
i really really miss divya bharti, the person who couldn’t take her success, took her life, i hate that sajid nadiawala he’ll never be happy.
I’m leaving another comment because i didn’t have the chance to write much. I was only 4 years old when Divya Bharti passed away and when i watched her first film i really thought she’s a wicked actress and i wish that, that night had never come that took her away from us. People are right not even one person remembers her in the film industry, i don’t like any actress today because i want divya back, i just wish she didn’t have such a short life. I haven’t seen many of her films but im trying my best to get my hands on some of her films, im mad about the song saat samundar and aisi deewangi. Divya will be remembered forever and no one can ever take her place even if you try finding someone like her you will never beable to. I also pray if God would just once send her back, i will always love you Divya may your soul rest in peace
divya was a pretty young girl also i was her fan
hi divya bharti
you liv in my heart you are the best woman and the best human you are gretest for me
2008-05-13

AFTER 15 YEAR I NOTICED ABOUT HER WORK AND BEAUTY, THAT IS FABULOUS.
I ACTUALLY LOVE HER, I WISH SHE COME BACK AND I MEET HER.
I found some old hindi song videos. I saw a pretty actress great @ dancing.
I thought that why she is not seen after early 90s.
I searched………
Love you DIVYA… may ur soul rest in peace…you will be always alive in our heart
