The sudden demise of Divya Bharti, the ‘Dream Girl’ of the 90s, remains one of Bollywood’s most haunting mysteries. In April 1993, at the peak of her stardom, the young actress fell to her death, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. Journalist Troy Ribeiro’s recent account sheds new light on the meticulous details of that fateful night.

According to Ribeiro, Divya was battling severe depression in her final days. On the night of the incident, guests including designer Neeta Lulla were present at her flat. While everyone was engrossed in conversation, Divya was reportedly spending time alone on the balcony with a glass in her hand. Suddenly, a loud thud echoed, and it was all over. Ribeiro points out a major lapse: why was the only eyewitness, Divya’s maid, never interrogated thoroughly by the police? Does this negligence fuel the murder conspiracy theory?

The scene at the hospital was equally dramatic. Her husband, producer Sajid Nadiadwala, suffered a heart attack upon hearing the news. Meanwhile, Divya’s father was seen screaming, “They killed my daughter!” Intriguingly, when Divya’s mother arrived, her father pointed fingers directly at his own wife. Why did he suspect her in that moment of grief? Three decades later, Divya Bharti’s death continues to swing between the theories of suicide, accident, and foul play.
