In 1990 she was signed by a South Indian film producer for Bobbili Raja . The film was released with Bharti as the lead actress and was one of the most successful films in the Tollywood film industry.

After several successful films in South India, Bharti returned to Mumbai , Bollywood in 1992 . She started her Bollywood career with the film Vishwatma .

Private life

After Bharti had been told of numerous affairs by the press, she decided to put an end to it by marrying the film producer Sajid Nadiadwala on May 10, 1992 , shortly after she was 18 years old. After the wedding, Bharti changed her name to Sanah Nadiadwala because Nadiadwala is Muslim and she could not marry him with a Hindu name. She continued to work under the name Divya Bharti. It is unclear whether Bharti converted to Islam, but it is believed that she maintained her Hindu belief as she was very religious and continued to visit Hindu temples in Mumbai.

death

At midnight on April 5, 1993, Bharti fell from the fifth floor of her apartment in Mumbai . A series of press speculations ensued, debating whether Bharti had died of an accident, suicide, or even murder. The police found no evidence of the murder and ended the investigation in 1998. Bharti's family and friends also believe that her death was an accident and rule out suicide. A few days after her death, Bharti was cremated in a Hindu ceremony.

Her last two films, Rang - The Colors of Love and Shatranj , were released months after her death and dedicated to her. At the time of her death, Bharti had started numerous film shoots that were not complete and therefore had to be re-shot by other actresses.
