Sonam Khan on friendship with Divya Bharti

Talking about her friendship with Divyya Bharti and the actress’ death, Sonam Khan said, “She was a very nice girl. Agar wo aaj zinda hoti toh top par hoti. It’s upsetting, accident jo unka hua, nahi hona chahiye tha, lekin ab kya kar sakte hain. (If she was alive today, she would be at the top. It’s an unfortunate accident that happened with her; it shouldn’t have happened, but what can we do now?)”

She continued, “Wo actually mere jinse maine shaadi ki thi, Rajeev Rai ji, unhone unko Mohra ke liye sign kiya tha. To shooting bhi ho chuki thi uss picture ki. Jab unka dehant hua, main apne bete ke saath kuch aath mahine pregnant thi. Unka shayad April mein dehant hua, if I’m not mistaken, aur May mein mera bachcha paida hua hai. Unke dehant se kuch din pehle hi maine unse baat ki thi. (She was actually signed for Mohra by Rajeev Rai, my ex-husband. The shooting for that film was already done. When she passed away, I was about eight months pregnant with my son. She likely passed away in April, if I’m not mistaken, and my baby was born in May. I had spoken to her just a few days before her death.)”

She added, “Toh mujhe kehti thi ki chaand ki taraf dekho, bahut khoobsurat bachcha paida hoga tumhari tarah. Wo ek actress thi jinke saath meri bahut bani hai aur wo jahan bhi ho, khush rahe. Aur kya keh sakti hoon main? (She used to tell me to look at the moon, saying that I would have a beautiful baby just like me. She was an actress with whom I had a great bond, and wherever she is, I hope she is happy).
