 Divya Bharti (25 February 1974 – 05 April 1993) was an Indian actress who worked predominantly in Hindi and Telugu films. Known for her acting versatility and beauty, she was one of the highest paid Indian actresses of her time, and starred in over 20 consecutive films throughout her short-lived career, an unbroken record to date.

 Divya Bharti started her film career as a teenager, while she was doing pin-up modeling assignments. She made her debut with a lead role opposite Venkatesh in the Telugu-language romantic action Bobbili Raja (1990), and subsequently appeared in the financially unsuccessful Tamil-language films Nila Pennae (1990). In films like Naa Ille Naa Swargam (1991) and Assembly Rowdy (1991) she had minor roles. Bharti had her first commercial success with the romantic comedy Rowdy Alludu (1991).

After featuring in Telugu films, she progressed to Hindi cinema in 1992 and made her acting debut with the Hindi action thriller Vishwatma (1992). The 1992 action-comedy Shola Aur Shabnam, a box office hit, marked a turning point in her career. She achieved further success with starring roles in the romance Deewana (1992), which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.

Bharti died in April 1993, aged 19, after falling from the balcony of her apartment in Mumbai. The mysterious circumstances of her death have spawned a number of conspiracy theories.

 Divya Bharti was born in Mumbai (known at the time as Bombay) on 25 February 1974 to Om Prakash Bharti and Meeta Bharti. She had a younger brother named Kunal and a half-sister Poonam, who was the child of Om Prakash Bharti's first marriage. Actress Kainaat Arora is her cousin.

Bharti spoke Hindi, English and Marathi fluently. In her early years, she was known for her bubbly personality and doll-like looks. She studied at Maneckji Cooper High School in Juhu, Mumbai. Bharti was a restless student at school and completed the 9th standard before pursuing an acting career.

In 1988,  Divya Bharti, then a ninth-grader, was signed by filmmaker Nandu Tolani for one of his films. She was originally scheduled to make her screen debut in Gunahon Ka Devta in 1988, but her role was cancelled and she was replaced by Sangeeta Bijlani. Kirti Kumar (Govinda's brother) noticed Bharti at a video library, and was eager to sign her for his project Radha Ka Sangam opposite Govinda. Kumar met with director Dilip Shankar and managed to release Bharti from her contract. After taking dancing and acting lessons for months to prepare for her role, Bharti was dropped and replaced by Juhi Chawla. It was speculated that Kumar's possessiveness over Bharti and her childish nature were the cause of her replacement.

Bharti met director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala through actor Govinda while working on the set of Shola Aur Shabnam, and they married on 10 May 1992  at a private ceremony in the presence of her hairdresser and friend Sandhya, Sandhya's husband, and a qazi at Nadiadwala's Tulsi Buildings residence in Mumbai. She converted to Islam after her marriage, changing her name to Sana Nadiadwala. The marriage was kept secret so as to not affect her prosperous film career.

In the late evening hours of 05 April 1993, Bharti fell from the balcony window of her fifth-floor apartment in Tulsi Buildings, Versova, Andheri West in Mumbai.When her guests Neeta Lulla, Neeta's husband Shyam Lulla, Bharti's maid Amrita Kumari, and neighbours realised what had happened, she was rushed in an ambulance to the emergency department at Cooper Hospital, where she died. She was 19 years old. The official cause of her death was due to severe head injuries and internal bleeding. She was cremated on 07 April 1993 at the Vile Parle crematorium in Mumbai.

The reason of her fatal fall was never established and several theories circulated in the media. Theories has been said Divya was murdered by her husband Sajid Nadiadwala and Neeta Lulla and her husband. Other theorie is she commited suicide or her death was accidental fall. Some sources believe it was a planned murder, others say she accidentally fell, while some say she fell because she was drunk at the time which caused her to fall. The investigation was closed in 1998 by the Mumbai Police who concluded that it was an accidental death.
