Veteran actress Sonam Khan recently shared her heartfelt memories of the late actress Divya Bharti, a dear friend and colleague. Divya Bharti's untimely death in 1993 shocked the entire film industry and left an indelible mark on those who knew her. Divya, who was just 19 at the time, tragically passed away after falling from a balcony, an incident that has since been surrounded by much speculation and sorrow.
Sonam Khan, who worked alongside Divya Bharti in the 1992 hit film Vishwatma, spoke candidly about their strong bond and the profound impact Divya had on her life.
Recalling their last conversation, Sonam revealed a poignant memory, stating, "She used to tell me to look at the moon, saying that I would have a beautiful baby just like me. She was an actress with whom I had a great bond, and wherever she is, I hope she is happy. What more can I say?"

Divya Bharti's death has long been described as one of Bollywood's most tragic losses. Sonam Khan reflected on this, describing the incident as "heartbreaking." She expressed her deep sorrow, saying, "She was a very nice girl. Had she been alive today, she would have been at the top. It's heartbreaking, the accident that happened to her; it shouldn't have happened, but what can we do now?"
The emotional weight of Divya's passing is further compounded by the fact that she was one of the most talented actresses of her time.
Kamal Sadanah, who shared the screen with Divya in the 1993 film Rang, echoed these sentiments. In an interview, he described Divya as "one of the most talented actresses" in the industry. Kamal recalled the energy and vibrancy that Divya brought to her work, making her not just a colleague but also a joy to be around. "She [Divya Bharti] was one of the most talented actresses and great fun to work with," he said.
However, the circumstances surrounding Divya Bharti's death have always been a source of speculation. Despite the numerous theories and rumors, Kamal Sadanah was firm in his belief that her death was an unfortunate accident. He shared his thoughts on the matter, saying, "My belief was she had a couple of drinks at that time and she was just farting around. I think she was in that energy and she slipped. I truly believe it was just an accident. I mean I was just shooting with her you know till a few days before and she was fine."
Divya Bharti's career, though short, was nothing short of spectacular. Between 1990 and 1993, she worked in numerous successful films, including Ek Aur Faulad, Dil Ka Kya Kasoor, Shola Aur Shabnam, Deewana, and Dil Hi To Hai.
Each of these films showcased her immense talent and potential, making her one of Bollywood's brightest stars. Tragically, her last film, Shatranj, was released posthumously, adding another layer of poignancy to her legacy.
Reflecting on Divya's brief but impactful career, it's clear that she was destined for greatness. Her vibrant presence, both on and off-screen, made her a beloved figure in the industry, and her untimely death left a void that has never been filled. Sonam Khan's memories of Divya serve as a reminder of the warmth and kindness that defined her, not just as an actress but as a person.
In the years since her passing, Divya Bharti has continued to be remembered fondly by her fans and colleagues alike. The pain of her loss is still felt deeply by those who were close to her, as evidenced by the heartfelt tributes from Sonam Khan and Kamal Sadanah. Their reflections on Divya's life and career serve as a testament to the lasting impact she had on the people around her and on the Indian film industry as a whole.
Divya Bharti's story is one of immense talent, boundless energy, and unfulfilled potential. Her life, though tragically cut short, was filled with achievements that many could only dream of. As Sonam Khan poignantly put it, wherever Divya is now, one can only hope that she is at peace, looking down on the world she left behind, and knowing that she is still cherished by those who loved her.
