Biography
Divya was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), the capital of the state of Maharashtra, in February 1974. Her father, Oma Prakasha Bharti, brought a daughter from his first marriage to the family, and Divya's mother, Mita, bore him two more children.
The girl was educated at Cooper High School, but in the ninth grade (it was 1988) she was offered a job in cinema with the famous Mithun Chakraborty, and she dropped out. Unfortunately, filming failed - the character Divya was supposed to portray was excluded from the script. The next attempt was also unsuccessful - Bharti was offered another job, but at the last moment was replaced by another actress.
Career
Failures in Bollywood did not knock down the young dreamer. She was confident in her talent and knew that someday fate would definitely give her a chance. The girl was actively engaged in dancing and acting, waiting for her finest hour. She soon landed a role in Tollywood, a regional movie, where she made her acting debut in the 1990 blockbuster Bobbili Raja.
Divya soon became one of the busiest and highest paid actresses in Tollywood, constantly appearing in commercially successful films. The only failure is the Tamil-language action movie Nila Penne. Soon, the girl begins to be invited to the box office Bollywood films. In 1992, Bharti is considered the most successful Bollywood actress and was named Outstanding Personality of the Year. Despite a short career, Divya's creative life turned out to be fruitful and eventful. In total, the actress has 20 works in films and the prestigious Bollywood award.
Personal life and death
On the set of the Dew and Flame drama, Divya met her future husband, Bollywood producer Sajid Nadialwala, who is 8 years older than her. The actress was barely eighteen, but it was love at first sight. Without hesitation for a long time, the lovers got married. Divya converted to Islam from Hinduism for the sake of her husband and changed her name to Sana Nadiadwala, and after her death, he devoted his works only to her for many years.
In early April 1993, Divya died tragically. Moreover, it is still unclear whether this was an accident, or the young star committed suicide - the circumstances of her death seem too strange.
She was in an apartment in Tunisia that they rented with her husband. It was an apartment on the fifth floor. Divya was visited by her costume designer Nita Leela with her husband, in addition, there was a maid in the house who prepared snacks in the kitchen. On this day, Divya was supposed to fly out for the next shooting, but because of family matters, she postponed the trip for one day. The drunken actress, prone to risky actions, climbed onto the windowsill and accidentally slipped down. The ambulance that arrived could not help the unfortunate woman, who died on the way to the hospital.
