3 min readNew DelhiFeb 9, 2026 06:44 PM IST Divya Bharti was just 16 when she entered the film industry and only 19 when her life came to a sudden, tragic end. In a career that lasted barely three years, she featured in 22 films and was already being compared to Sridevi—hailed by many as the next big thing of Indian cinema. But destiny had other plans. Her meteoric rise was cut short on April 5, 1993, when she fell from the balcony of her Mumbai apartment. Behind the dazzling success, however, lay a far more complicated emotional reality. ‘We went to discos and bars’ Child actor Master Raju, who shared a close bond with Divya, recently spoke to Siddharth Kannan about the actress, offering rare insights into her personal life. “Divya Bharti and Pooja Bhatt were the two heroines I was really close to,” he recalled. “They were kind, not filmy at all. I spent a lot of time with Divya—we went to discos and bars together many times. Like Salman Khan, Divya was …

Shah Rukh Khan was unhappy with Baazigar character, wanted Abbas-Mustan to make him ‘a maniac, without any revenge backstory’: Sriram Raghavan | Bollywood News

While filmmaker Sriram Raghavan has often been credited for shaping some of Hindi cinema’s most riveting thrillers, he recently revealed that he once unknowingly wrote his own version of Baazigar. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, he spoke about how his early story bore striking similarities to the 1993 revenge drama. He also discussed  how Shah Rukh Khan had strong views on how the protagonist should be portrayed in the film and somewhere wasn’t entirely convinced with the version of Abbas-Mustan. Sriram said that his version was closely inspired by the novel A Kiss Before Dying, which had earlier been adapted into a Hollywood film and then, loosely, into Baazigar. “I was more faithful to the book,” he explained. “And in the book, the guy is just a psychopath… uska kya hai… he wants to get married rich… usko ek ameer ghar mein shaadi karna hai…” (His motive is simple—he wants to marry into a rich family). “Aur usmein kya hai, the first girl he loves… she loves him too. But she gets pregnant, and her …
