Blast from the past: Divya Bharti’s unseen performance in one of her last films ‘Laadla’

Late actress Divya Bharti, one of the most exceptional rising stars of India; a life that was brutally cut short, at the age of 19. It is her 24th death anniversary today. The actress would have been 43-year-old, had she not fallen to her death. The actress made her debut in movies with a Telugu film titled ‘Bobbili Raja’, at the age of 16 years. Within three years, the late actress had made a mark for herself in Bollywood as well with a string of successful films like ‘Vishwatma’, ‘Shola Aur Shabnam’, ‘Deewana’ etc. Considered to be far ahead of all her contemporaries, Divya was surely one of the top actresses in the early and mid-period of 90s. Sadly, her untimely death took her away early.

After Divya’s demise, some of her then announced film projects were either shelved or were released posthumously. However, what many may not know is that one of her films was completely refilmed with another top performer of that time. And it was none other than actress Sridevi who stepped in to fill the role that would otherwise have been played by Divya. We are talking about the 1994 release ‘Laadla’. (Also Check: Unseen images of gorgeous actress Divya Bharti, who is no more)

This Raj Kanwar directorial co-starred actors Anil Kapoor and Raveena Tandon in it. Divya had shot most of the film, but after her demise the makers completely re-shot the film with Sridevi playing the part.

As we remember Divya Bharti on her death anniversary today, here’s something that gives a perfect homage to this late talented performer. A rare video which has the unseen footage of Divya’s last performance in ‘Laadla’. This video sees both Divya and then Sridevi performing the same scene which definitely makes you go nostalgic remembering the late former actress.

Surely, a must watch for everyone.
