Divya Bharti is a name that fills us with a lot of sorrow and despair. A girl who at the peak of her stardom and showed promise to rule the industry for decades, a very young girl left the world so early. There was so much cinema left in her to be watched. So now all we have are memories. The present generation doesn't even have that because all they connect with Bharti is her death. But we have watched her movies when she was still alive and raring to deliver more hits. Which newcomer can boast of more than 10 releases in the debut year? Nobody, not then not now. Such was her charm and an innate ability to look good with any actor irrespective of the huge age gap.

opposite Anand.
