Sridevi’s sudden demise has not only engulfed the entire nation in grief but has left an irreplaceable void in Indian cinema. The actress, 54, breathed her last on Saturday night following a cardiac arrest and the news of her untimely and unfortunate death left everyone in shock. But her death perhaps reminded everyone of the mysterious death of another popular actress of 90s, Divya Bharti. 

It is not unknown that the two gorgeous beauties, Divya Bharti and Sridevi, were contemporaries and were often compared to each other. Sridevi and Divya Bharti not only had a striking resemblance with each other in their curly hair and mesmerising eyes but their sudden rise to fame in Bollywood cannot be missed. Interestingly, Divya was also tagged as younger sister of Sridevi. Now with Sridevi's untimely demise, the nation has felt the same shock as it was in the case of Divya, who met with a tragic incident and fell off her balcony in a drunk state. 

 

Moreover, in an uncanny resemblance, Divya’s birth anniversary falls on February 25, just a day after Sridevi’s unfortunate death. For the uninitiated, Divya was working on the film Laadla and due to her untimely demise, the shooting was halted and filmmakers later roped in Sridevi for the same role. Sridevi not only became the lead actress of Laadla, which also featured Anil Kapoor and Raveena Tandon, but Divya’s last project became Sridevi’s ladder to success as it went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year.

 

Well, destiny certainly connected Sridevi and Divya Bharti and we can never get over the two leading ladies who left us too soon.
