’s co-star Guddi had earlier revealed that the actor’s then-husband, Sajid Nadiadwala was shocked after she passed away in 1993. She was barely 19 when she fell from her apartment, and left everyone devastated. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Guddi shared “She was a nice girl but she was a little messed up. I don’t know her childhood but she stayed a little disturbed. She used to live life like today is the last day, bindas, she was a nice girl. At that time she was seeing Sajid Nadiadwala. This was the time we were shooting for Shola Aur Shabnam. She died on the night of April 5 and April 4 is my birthday. So, we all were partying together – Govinda, Divya, Sajid and others. She was okay at the party but I felt she was a little sad. She had to go for an outdoor shoot but she didn’t want to”.
She said that she got to know about Divya’s death on April 6 when she was on the flight. She even said that Divya’s behavior was odd. She added saying, “She used to stay on the fifth floor of a building in Juhu. One night I was going inside the ice-cream store near that building and heard a voice shouting my name. I looked up and it was Divya. She was sitting on the parapet of fifth floor with her legs dangling. I told her it’s not safe and that she should get inside. She told me, ‘Kuch nahi hota (Nothing will happen).” Everybody was giving condolences to Divya mom when a stray cat walked in with blood on its mouth. Everybody was shocked. It was very sad. Uske mummy ka haal bura tha (Her mother was devastated). Sajid was like… gone. He was in a bad shape. He wasn’t even home when the incident happened. Divya bent down from her window to see if Sajid’s car has come and that’s when she fell down”, she said.
Guddi even said that designer Neeta Lulla was there when the incident happened as she said, “Neeta Lulla was there. They were talking when Divya turned looking for the car and Neeta saw her falling down”. Divya was one of the most successful stars in the early 1990s and her death news left everyone shocked.
