Remembering Divya Bharti means revisiting 90s magic – the laughter, dances, and drama that defined her films. Marking her February 25 birthday, we uncover a delightful interview clip where the young star tackled comparisons to Sridevi, Bollywood’s first female superstar.
Divya’s journey from South Indian screens to Hindi hits like ‘Vishwatma’, ‘Deewana’, and ‘Shola Aur Shabnam’ was nothing short of phenomenal. At 19, her mysterious death in 1993 left an irreplaceable void, but her charisma endures.
The Sridevi parallel was constant, fueled by their expressive eyes and charm. In the chat, Divya gushed initially: ‘It thrilled me! Looking like Sridevi? What an honor – she’s beauty personified.’ But she pivoted with wit: ‘Do I agree? Absolutely not. She’s taller, fairer, impeccable. My skin? Pimply – makeup’s my best friend for concealment.’
This blend of excitement and realism showcased Divya’s relatable side, setting her apart in a glamorous world. Her rapid ascent and poignant exit underscore a talent lost too soon, yet preserved in reels and recollections. As fans rewatch her work, tales like these affirm why Divya Bharti’s legacy defies time.
