Divya Bharti[a] (Hindi pronunciation: [dɪʋjaː bʱaːrtiː]; 25 February 1974 – 5 April 1993) was an Indian actress known for her work in Hindi and Telugu cinema. She was among the highest-paid Indian actresses of her time and received a Filmfare Award and a Nandi Award for her performances.[1][2]
Bharti began her career as a teenager while working as a pin-up model. She made her acting debut with the Telugu film Bobbili Raja (1990), which became a blockbuster at the box office. She subsequently starred in successful Telugu films such as Assembly Rowdy (1991) and Rowdy Alludu (1991), establishing herself as a leading actress in the industry. She received the Nandi Special Jury Award for her performance in Chittemma Mogudu (1992). In 1992, she transitioned to Hindi cinema, making her debut in the action thriller Vishwatma (1992). She gained wider recognition with the success of Shola Aur Shabnam (1992) and further solidified her position with Deewana (1992), for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
On 5 April 1993, Bharti died at the age of 19 after falling from the balcony of her fifth-floor apartment in Mumbai. The circumstances of her death led to various conspiracy theories, but it was officially ruled as an accidental fall.
