Many stars in Bollywood have captured the admiration of fans in a brief period. One among them was a renowned face from the industry. She was regarded as a symbol and was the top-earning actress of her era. Her aura was so powerful that individuals would lose their minds over her. Her delightful grin and twinkling eyes drove her admirers crazy.

Bollywood’s Finest Actress…

Here we are talking about actress Divya Bharti, best known for hits like Vishwatma, Shola Aur Shabnam, Deewana, and Balwan. By early 1993, Divya’s success was at its zenith and she was reportedly charging over Rs 50 lakh per film. Govinda, who was paired opposite the actress in their blockbuster film, Shola Aur Shabnam, was truly fond of her beauty. Once shared an interesting anecdote related to the actress.

In an old conversation with Stardust, Govinda talked about his affection for the beautiful Divya Bharti while he was married to Sunita. The actor then revealed that he was attracted to Divya. He said, “Well, I am a firm believer in destiny. What is meant to happen will happen. Yes, I like Juhi a lot. Divya Bharti too. Divya is extremely attractive and any man can get attracted to her. I know Sunita will be very upset with all this, but she should know that I am still protecting myself from Divya’s charm.” 

During that period, Govinda was the star actor of the 90s. His name was linked with many actresses then, including Divya Bharti, Madhuri Dixit, Karishma Kapoor, Rambha, Neelam Kothari and many others. In the same conversation, he talked about the possibility of his second marriage amid reports of him and Divya dating. He had said, “Tomorrow, who knows, I may get married again. Sunita should be ready for it. Only then will I feel free. And second marriage is in my Kundali.”

Govinda, Divya and…

Very few people know that it was Govinda who introduced Divya Bharti to renowned producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Divya and Sajid first met each other when Divya was working with Govinda in the film Shola Aur Shabnam. Sajid, who was working with Govinda in the film Zulm Ki Hukumat, went to meet Govinda. He then introduced Sajid to Divya and both fell in love at first sight as he was impressed by Divya’s beauty. Both became friends, later they realized that they had feelings for each other. Soon they got married in a private ceremony on May 10, 1992.
