Divya Bharti: A death untold

Divya Bharti: A death untold

Today we focus in on the theme whether Divya Bharti's passing was a mischance, suicide or a demonstration of homicide. 

Paranoid fears keep on floatting around her passing much following two decades. So was she truly pushed out of her gallery? 

As per the authority archives connected with the case, three individuals were with her at the time of the episode. They were her dress originator Neeta Lulla, her spouse Dr Shyam (a specialist) and her house keeper Amrita. 

Authority records additionally state that her cleaning specialist was extremely joined to her in light of the fact that she had been dealing with Divya since her introduction to the world. Amrita went into intense melancholy after the episode and quit communicating with individuals. Police records state that Amrita endured a huge heart strike not long after and succumbed to it. Amrita passed on inside 30 days of Divya Bharti's destruction. This is the motivation behind why Amrita couldn't be barbecued by the police. 

Other than them, there were three other people who were flame broiled by the police — her spouse Sajid Nadiadwala, her mother Bharti and her sibling Kunal. All the three were not with her at the time of the occurrence. 

The administration authorities who participated in the examinations included Inspector J G Jadhav of Versova Police station (the researching officer of the case) and the Chief Medical Officer of Cooper Hospital, Dr Tripathy (who marked the passing endorsement). Other than these individuals, no one precisely had any direct-learning of what may have happened to Divya Bharti that night. 

We did figure out how to get some direct-data about what happened on that game changing night yet individuals spoke to us on states of obscurity. In light of the discussions, we will attempt to reproduce the chain of episodes that at last grabbed Divya Bharti far from every one of us.

That dark night

Date: April 5, 1993, Time 9 pm, Place: 5th floor, Tulsi Apartments, Versova, Andheri West, Mumbai

Simply a couple of hours back, Divya had gone to Neptune Apartments in Bandra West with a merchant and finished a vast even that she needed to purchase. Acknowledging that it was so tricky to get a great even in Mumbai, Divya was extremely cheerful that day and was continually depicting her 'pleasant four-room condo' to her sibling Kunal, whom she adored sincerely. Kunal left for some work before long. 

She had quite recently come back from Chennai after a shoot and on that night, Divya should fly out to Hyderabad for an alternate shoot. She needed to put off her Hyderabad visit as she needed to settle the flat. That day, Divya was wandering around with a swathe on her exited foot and had educated her makers that she was harmed (and thus she won't have the capacity to report for the shoot). She advised everyone she will go to Hyderabad a day later. 

She soon got a telephone call, which educated her that she required to meet Neeta Lulla and her spouse who were descending to see her at the Versova level. It may be apropos to say here that this level didn't fit in with Divya and was enlisted in another person name. 

Divya was likewise expected to go on a long open air timetable to Mauritius to shoot for Sajid's film Andolan. Neeta should make the outfits for the film and after the timetable, Divya should move into her new flat. Along these lines, everything was going almost as arranged and characteristically, Divya was extremely energized that night. 

Neeta and Dr Shyam Lulla touched base around 10 pm and every one of them sat down in the parlor, talking. The TV was on and Divya had two liquor flasks on the core table — one was a Mauritian sugarcane wine and alternate was a flask of Black Label whisky. The whisky container had been opened, while the wine jug was in place. 

Her servant Amrita was in the family room and Divya was visiting with her. Amrita soon went into the kitchen to broil munchies to run with the liquor. She was conversing with Divya at the same time. Divya then floated towards the window while even now conversing with her cleaning specialist noisily who was in the kitchen now. 

Neeta and her spouse were viewing 'something intriguing' on the feature player (those days there used to be VHS tapes to play features) and thus, were not taking much part in the discussion that was happening between Divya and Amrita.

The final moments

There was no overhang in the family room and it had an open window. In spite of the fact that all different windows in the building had flame broils, that window was open. There is an auto stopping opening simply underneath the window yet that day there were no autos stopped beneath. 

At the point when no one was gazing Divya moved out of the window and arrived on the tight ledge beneath it. The ledge was short of what 12 inches wide and it was difficult to keep your offset unless you clutch the window outline. 

She arrived on the ledge with her back towards the family room. She then attempted to turn around to hold the window outline. It was while she had a go at turning around on the ledge (and stretched out her hand to hold the window outline) that she slipped. 

Divya fell with a boisterous crash on the solid underneath the window. Since she was confronting her room (as she was attempting move go down), she arrived on her back. The mishap happened in a matter of three minutes. 

Everyone heard the crash and came running first floor to discover her in a pool of blood. She was alive on her path to the doctor's facility, yet her beat rate began falling quickly soon a while later. 

She passed on at the crisis bureau of Cooper Hospital. The quick reason for death was overwhelming interior draining because of the damage at the once again of her head. Her skull had a few breaks. 

Presently, the unanswered address before the police was: How come she was permitted to get down on the ledge underneath the window? Interestingly, a large portion of her nearby companions were not amazed on discovering that she had moved out of the window. 

Her nearby companions later had told the police that Divya Bharti adored doing these tricks. The thought of deceiving demise provided for her an interesting kick. There were various stories of her attempting risky tricks at outside shooting timetables. She some way or another adored the thought of playing with death. 

She was a 19-year-old young lady and was going the same issues that a young lady of her age might maybe experience. That included sweetheart issues and the common defiant demeanor against her guardians. Be that as it may this is beyond any doubt that she was not experiencing any enthusiastic stretch that provoked her to end her life. 

You can reach your own particular determinations now. 

So yes, I am exposing all the paranoid fears and platitude that it was simply an appalling mischance. 

When an alternate meeting of her guardians years after her passing where they spoke about her with incredible trouble. Discovered the meeting touching.

 DIVYA BHARTI What TELLS ABOUT HERSELF

I don’t know where to begin or what to write about myself. There is so little and yet so much. I may be eighteen years of age but the amount of experience, I have belies my age. From what I’ve understood and seen, I can confidently say that nobody is perfect in the world. We all have our imitations just as we have our plus points. And we all try to come as near to our conception of the perfection. 

That’s human nature and that’s life. Some people make themselves out to be good Samaritans by projecting only a good side which may not necessarily be true. But in my case just the opposite has happened without the slightest effort on my part. I’ve the worst possible of things attributed to me. Now if there is any controversy then I have to be involved. 

Thanks to all the rumour mongers I am the most controversial newcomer. Of course, I still think that I am a newcomer in spite of having four releases to my credit. Now I am aware that there are people who believe the worst of me. However, people who know me know the real me and that is totally different from the notorious image, I have. Try as much, I cannot stop getting hurt over all that is said and especially written about me. I am human after all and I do have the emotions that make me vulnerable.

I cannot remain immune to criticism. I know that I am misunderstood. I am supposed to be snooty. But I am not like that. I am very friendly and very very down to earth. My major weakness is that I get too friendly to everyone I start trusting them. I am gullible to all their lies and stories. I’ve been taken for a royal ride innumerable time. Yet I don’t seem to learn a lesson. In spite of all this, I’ve not become bitter or cynical and this shows the positive attitude that I’ve towards life. I cannot be a pessimist. Neither can I be a hypocrite. I am very frank and have the guts to call a spade. A spade it’s either black or white it cannot be grey for me.

I’ve noticed that many people get unnerved with the way I speak. But my intention is definitely not to hurt the sentiments of the others. I’ve the conviction to stand by what I say. I will definitely not lie to safeguard my interests and I just cannot be diplomatic. I speak my mind without weighing the pros and cons of what I’m standing. And perhaps this is where my problem lies. However, I cannot change myself to suit other people’s attitudes. I’ve always been a vivacious girl, somebody who has been full of life. I cannot sit quietly in a corner brooding or sulking. C’mon you live once so make the most of it. I agree I am childish and my immature at times but then that’s the way I am. I have no split personalities like the most people here. I have been like this right from the time I can remember. Even as a kid I was always up to mischief. The best part was that I would play these pranks and never get caught. I still remember once in school I was eating during class hours, I was pulled up by my teacher for this. I told her that I was hungry hence I was eating. She got angry and since I was sitting on the last bench, she made me get up from there and made me sit on the first bench right under her nose. I was very upset. So, when she passed by me during the course of her lecture I jerked my fountain pen. Phew! And all the ink from the pen flew on to her saree. However, she didn’t realize that, not satisfied with that, I had a pair of scissors with me which I had carried for. So I took it out and very quietly snipped off the border of her Pallau next. Even then she didn’t know what had happened. It was only the next day I heard her complaining to one of my classmates about what had happened. Happy with my deed I just smiled very evilly to myself.

Believe me, when I say that I can do anything for the people I love and care for nobody who is close to me can ever say that I’ve fallen short of their expectations. I can give my life for them. But I hate being taken for granted I hate people trampling over my emotions. That’s the reason why I have very few friends. In fact just three of them and of course I’ve my family. My parents, my brother Kunal and I are very close to each other. My dad has always given me the best and he always stood by me. That’s why I am upset when people say nasty things about my parents. There is no truth in what they have to say. For I’m not the bread winner for my family, I have been brought up in luxury and I don’t have a pushy mother either. On the contrary my mother never accompanies me to my shootings. Even if she does come it is only sometime bas. Yeah she does come with me for my outdoor schedules. She is the most non-interfering person. But people are used to talking filth anyway. I just wish everyone would leave my family alone.

Frankly, I had never bargained for all this mud-slinging when I decided to enter the industry. My dad was totally against my decision to become an actress. Since I was adamant he gave in with a lot of reservations and only because he wanted me to be happy. I gave up my studies to join this profession. Not that I regret my decision for I hated studies anyway. Then of course I got ‘Radha Ka Sangam’ and I was ecstatic. But I was replaced later. All I can say now is that it was not Kirtiji’s fault nor was it mines. It was just that we were not destined to work together. In a way whatever happened, happened for the best. Looking for the positive side, if I had to wait for ‘Radha Ka Sangam’ to be my first release then I would still be waiting for its release whether I was lucky or unlucky in not doing the film, the fate of the film will decide. How can I say anything now? After the RKS episode I was determined to prove myself. I worked down South before Rajiv Rai signed me for ‘Vishwatma’. I am indebted to Rajiv Rai for giving me the right break. Today whatever I am, I owe it to him

It was a fantastic experience to get introduced by a prestigious banner. Before the release of the film I felt like I was on a bed of nails. I had an upset stomach for three days; nothing seemed to register with me. Though the film failed at the box-office, I was appreciated. And that was enough for I knew that I was not a write off. It was ‘Shola Aur Shabnam’ that consolidated my position at the box-office. Unfortunately I could not do Pahlajjis next ‘Aanken’. Not that I didn’t want to, I wanted to. But I was hard pressed for dates. I couldn’t give him the required number of days. I couldn’t cancel the dates of another producer to accommodate Pahlaji. It is unethical and no matter for who I cannot do that. In spite of four releases including a major hit, I am not considered one in the top slot. According to my so called well-wishers they feel that it is because I’ve signed the wrong films and that I’m doing films with only the small heroes. Tell me are Aamir and Salman the only two heroes in the top bracket? For besides these two I’m working with everybody else. Sunny, Sunju, Jackie etc. This thing about a big film with a top banner and a small film is nothing but humbug. For ultimately, it is the fate of the film at the box office that is important, a big banner film can flop miserably and spoil your career while a small film can be a hit. I have come here to work and I treat every producer director and hero equally. No preferential treatment to anyone.

I get amazed when people call me unprofessional. What’s so unprofessional about me? I reach the sets on time. I’ve no nakhras on the sets, I don’t require innumerable retakes to give a shot right. I am fairly competent actress and dancer. I do what I am told to do. I’ve the necessary enthusiasm. So why am I being labelled and branded? I fail to understand. What can I do to change this image and prove these rumours wrong. I usually keep quiet, and do not retaliate. But when people push me against a wall I retaliate. Like, there was this supposed interview by me in a crappy magazine where certain quotes against Karishma Kapoor were just made up on my behalf. I was indignant when I read it. I had never said that nor had I any reason to hit out against Karishma. If I had a problem I would’ve confronted her headlong.

In fact I like Karishma she’s a very sweet girl and she’s been nice to me whenever we met. Thankfully Karishma is a mature girl and ignored that concocted interview. Now there’s again this hoo-haa about me replacing Karishma in ‘Rang’. What’s so great? I believe Karishma had a problem with the producer over some dresses, so she’s not doing it. When they came to me, I heard the script and loved it, so I agreed to do it. Why point fingers at me? When Juhi replaced me in ‘Radha ka Sangam’ and ‘Lootere’ nobody pointed a finger. Why even Karishma has replaced me in one Mukesh Dugal’s films These things happen in this profession. There are no hard feelings between us. Though of course I don’t forgive people who harm me intentionally, I don’t want to brag but people who hurt me have got paid in the same coin sooner or later, without my doing anything. Everybody has to pay for their deeds in this life time. Take for example Prithvi, all through the making of ‘Dil Ka kya Kasoor’ he kept hitting out at me. But what happened after the release of the film, he is nowhere. But now I have decided that I will not take things lying down I am going to give back.

After all I am quite fed up of all this trash that certain magazines kept writing about me. I am supposed to be some kind of a man eater according to them. I just have to look at a man and the next thing I know is that I am linked to him. First it was Govinda I have gone blue in the face denying the rumours. Govinda is somebody I get along well with. We share nothing more than a professional relationship. Of course, I have never been able to fathom the reason as to why he had never denied these rumours. For me he is nothing more than a co-artiste and friend. Then a guy called Hemal Thakkar sprung up from somewhere. I don’t deny knowing the guy. He was a real pile on, he kept chasing me all over. He would stand below my balcony till the wee hours of the morning. He kept sending me flowers, once he even sent me a ring which I promptly sent back. I was not interested in him. I do remember seeing him at the ‘Vishwatma’ premier but he was definitely not my guest. If Hemal thinks money can buy everything then I wish he would buy his mother some happiness. She needs it. After this there were rumours of me and Jackie, me and Mohan Babu. I wish instead of sitting in air conditioned cabins some of these journalists would go out and check their facts before writing. But I guess they are too busy filing their nails.

How could I have gone to meet Jackie in a black car when I don’t posses such a car. I had met his son Tiger once or twice and his wife Ayesha practically a year ago. There’s hardly any interaction between Jackie and me and Mohan Babu running after me with an acid bottle? Really, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at all this. In fact in another fifteen days time I will be going down South to shoot another film with him. Mohan Babu is one man who always calls me up to congratulate me on the success of my films. Even this supposed romance with Armaan Kohli is absurd. If I was even half as notorious as people made me out to be, then would such a caring man like Sajid still be with me?

We have been going around for nearly one and a half year now. And things have been just terrific between us. The advantage is that Sajid is very mature and a very experienced man. He has been through a lot in life. Whenever I behave childishly or sulk then Sajid explains things to me. He tells me what is right and what is wrong? I trust his judgement he is never wrong. Honestly, Sajid has been very patient with me. Like I cannot be domesticated, I cannot cook to the extent that I can’t make a cup of tea. It was Sajid who taught me how to make tea. Even his sister has been a big help. For one whole week she cooked one particular vegetable so that it would be easier for me to learn how to cook it. The sad part was on the eighth day I had forgotten everything. Once I cooked dal and Sajid practically spat it out. Not only was it without salt but it was bitter too. I guess I am a bad student. Right now I am going through one of the best phases of my life. Professionally I am doing well. Personally I have Sajid and both our respective families have accepted each other. I don’t want to plan out my future, I live day to day. I have become ambitious now. I want to reach the top. I want to be known as an actress of repute. I hope after reading all this you guys will have a better opinion about me. And I thank ‘Stardust’ for giving me the opportunity to dust away all the cobwebs, and put things in the right perspective…
