Before she turned 20, actor Divya Bharti had already acted in 20-odd films as the lead, winning a Filmfare award for Best Debut, and a Special Jury award at the Nandi Awards. One of the most promising talents of her time, Divya passed away at the age of 19 on April 5, 1993. Talking about her untimely death, Shah Rukh Khan<\/strong><\/a>, who made his onscreen debut in the 1992 film Deewana, opposite Divya, said once, \u201cShe was stunning as an actor. She was most unlike an actor, like I thought of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an old interview with NDTV<\/em>, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about his late co-star with much fondness. \u201cI was a serious kind of guy and she was this completely whacky, fun-loving girl,\u201d said the superstar, who worked with her in the superhit film Dil Aashna Hai (1992) too. \u201cI remember walking out of Mumbai<\/a>\u2019s Sea Rock, and I met her. She looked at me and said, \u2018You\u2019re not just an actor, you\u2019re an institution.\u2019 I was very touched by that\u2026 I realised that it meant a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reminiscing on learning the news of her death, Shah Rukh Khan revealed that he was in Delhi<\/a>, and it came as quite the shocker. \u201cI pray for her soul. I was sleeping in Delhi and they were playing my song, \u2018Aisi Deewangi\u2019 (from Deewana). I thought I\u2019ve become a big star\u2026 I woke up in the morning and I saw that she had died. She had fallen off from a window. It was one of the biggest shocks, because I think I was supposed to do another film with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
