Divya Bharti, natural beauty, bollywood bombshell, she had short span of
5 super successful years with blockbuster movies like Vishwatma, Shola
aur Shabnam, Deewana, Balwaan and Geet. One beauty queen with her
mystery of her death is still a mystery. Let’s check the facts, what was
the actual scenario?
As per Wikipedia facts, around midnight of 5 April 1993, Bharti fell to her death from a five-storey Tulsi apartment building in Versova Mumbai. There was much speculation by the media regarding Bharti’s sudden demise, including the possibility of suicide, accidental death, conspiracy or even murder. Mumbai Police failed to find any evidence and closed the investigation in 1998. Some conspiracy theories involved her husband Sajid Nadiadwala, while other theories suggested Mafia complicity. But the circumstances of her death still remain a mystery. Bharti’s body was released to her family, who arranged for a cremation ceremony. On 7 April 1993, Bharti was cremated in a Hindu ritual. Divya Bharati is immortalised in Iran as beauty queen as her portraits can be found along with Sridevi and Amitabh Bachchan in art shops across Iran.
Earlier to this, she got married with Sajid Nadiadwala (Owner of a production house named Nadiadwala & Grandson) in 1992. Sajid is one of the successful film producer in the Bollywood, you may know his films, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Hera-Pheri, Housefull, Housefull 2 and many more. They had only one year of relationship and then she found dead on the floor of the Tulsi Appartment. As per Mumbai Police files, before the death, Neeta Lulla (a famous fashion designer) was with her. Many few people knows that, she was cast against Anil Kapur in Ladla, she completed 80% of shoot and then she died. Earlier to this, she was already first choice and cast in Mohra, Vijaypath and Andolan, later on these films were successful at box office.
There are too many websites talking about her untimely death and speculating whether it was a suicide or murder. She achieved dizzying heights of success before her life was brutally cut short by a bizarre incident. When she was just 19, she died after falling off from the balcony of her fifth floor apartment in Versova, Andheri. Till now, many in Bollywood speculate that she was thrown off her balcony. Let us examine the myths or say conspiracies of her death.

Conspiracy theories continue to float around her death even after two decades. So was she really pushed from her balcony?
According to the official documents associated with the case, three people were with her when the death occurred. They were her dress designer Neeta Lulla, her husband Dr Shyam (a psychiatrist) and her maid Amrita.
Official records also state that her maid was very attached to her because she had been taking care of Divya since her birth. Amrita went into acute depression after the incident and stopped talking interacting with people. Police records state that Amrita suffered a massive heart attack soon after and succumbed to it. Amrita died within 30 days of Divya Bharti’s demise. This is the reason why Amrita could not be grilled by the police.
Other than them, there were three others who were grilled by the police – her husband Sajid Nadiadwala, her mother Bharti and her brother Kunal. All the three were not with her at the time of the incident.
The government officials who took part in the investigations included Inspector JG Jadhav of Versova Police station (the investigating officer of the case) and the chief medical officer of Cooper Hospital Dr Tripathy (who signed the death certificate). Other than these people, nobody exactly had any first-hand knowledge of what might have happened to Divya Bharti that night.
We did manage to get some first-hand information about the case, but people spoke to us on conditions of anonymity. Based on the conversations, we will try to recreate that fateful night that snatched away Divya Bharti from her all her fans.
The dark night
Date: April 5, 1993, Time 11.00 pm, Place: 5th floor, Tulsi Apartments, Versova, Andheri West, Mumbai
Just a few hours back, Divya had gone to Neptune Apartments in Bandra West with a broker and had finalised a large flat for outright purchase. Considering how hard it was to get a good flat in Mumbai, Divya was very happy that day and was constantly describing her ‘nice four-bedroom apartment’ to her brother Kunal, whom she loved dearly. Kunal left the apartment soon after.
She had just returned from Chennai after a shoot and on the same night, Divya was supposed to fly out to Hyderabad for another shoot. She wanted to postpone her Hyderabad visit as she had to finalise the apartment. That day, Divya was roaming around with a bandage on her left foot and had informed her producers that she was injured (and hence she won’t be able to report for the shoot). She told everybody she will fly off a day later.
She soon got a phone call, which informed her that she needed to meet Neeta Lulla and her husband who were were coming to see her at the Versova flat. This Versova flat didn’t belong to Divya and was registered in somebody else’s name.
Divya was supposed to go on a long outdoor schedule to Mauritius to shoot for Sajid’s film Andolan. Neeta was supposed to make the costumes for the film and after the schedule, Vidya was supposed to move into her new apartment.
So, everything was going just as planned and naturally, Divya was very excited that day.
Neeta and Sunil arrived around 10 pm and all of them sat down in the living room, chatting. The TV was on and Divya had two alcohol bottles on the centre table — one was a Mauritian sugarcane wine and the other was a bottle of Black Label whisky. The whisky bottle had been opened, while the rum bottle was intact.
Her maid Amrita was in the living room and Divya was chatting with her. Amrita soon went into the kitchen to fry a few munchies to go with the alcohol. She was talking to Divya all the while. She then gravitated towards the window while still talking to her maid loudly who was in the kitchen now.
Neeta and her husband were watching ‘something interesting’ on the video player (those days there used to be VHS cassettes to play videos) and hence, were not taking much part in the conversation that was going on between Divya and Amrita.
The final moments
When nobody was looking Divya climbed out of the window and landed on the narrow ledge below the open window. The ledge was less than 12 inches wide and it was impossible to keep your balance unless you hold on to the window frame.
She landed on the ledge with her back towards the living room. She then tried to turn around to hold the window frame properly. It was while she tried turning around on the ledge (while she extended her hand to hold the window frame) that she slipped.
Divya fell with a thud on the concrete below the window. Because she was facing her room (because she was trying climb back up), she landed on her back.
Everybody heard the thud and came running downstairs to find her in a pool of blood. She was alive on her way to the hospital, but her pulse rate started falling rapidly soon afterwards.
She died at the emergency department of Mumbai’s Cooper hospital.
The whole accident occurred in a matter of a few minutes before anybody could react.
Now, the unanswered question in front of the police was: How come she was allowed to get down on the ledge below the window? Interestingly, many of her close friends were not surprised on learning that she had climbed out of the window.
Many of her close friends later had told the police that Divya Bharti loved doing these stunts. While shooting for her films, she would try to do things that were dangerous. There were numerous instances where she had flirted with death. She somehow loved the idea.
She was a 19-year-old girl and was going the same problems that a girl of her age would perhaps go through, but this description is the closest one can recount of the hours closer to her death.

You can draw your own conclusions now.
So yes, I am debunking all the conspiracy theories and saying that it was just an unfortunate accident.

[Deadbody of Divya Bharti]
Today we zero in on the topic whether Divya Bharti’s death was an accident, suicide or an act of murder.
Conspiracy theories continue to float around her death even after two decades. So was she really pushed from her balcony?
According to the official documents associated with the case, three people were with her when the death occurred. They were her dress designer Neeta Lulla, her husband Dr Shyam (a psychiatrist) and her maid Amrita.

The final moments
[The window from where Divya Bharti fell down]
There was no balcony in the living room and it had an open window.
Though all other windows in the building had grills, that window was
open. There is a car parking slot just below the window but that day there were no cars parked below her window.
When nobody was looking Divya climbed out of the window and landed on the narrow ledge below the open window. The ledge was less than 12 inches wide and it was impossible to keep your balance unless you hold on to the window frame.
She landed on the ledge with her back towards the living room. She then tried to turn around to hold the window frame properly. It was while she tried turning around on the ledge (while she extended her hand to hold the window frame) that she slipped.

So yes, I am debunking all the conspiracy theories and saying that it was just an unfortunate accident.
At the end the mystery clear shows that why Sajid have proper agenda to kill her. Still Neeta Lulla’s authentic statements to Mumbai Police never been declared in public but sources said that, Neeta was there when she committed suicide or whether killed by someone. I am her fan, she had perfect beauty with perfect body. She will be alive in the hearts of her fan. And as a fan I reviewed some things that I presented in the form of conspiracy and mystery.
