SRK also further added that Divya was stunning as an actor. According to him, he was a serious kind of guy and she was this completely whacky, fun-loving girl. The superstar also recalled feeling very humbled when Divya called him an ‘institution’.
Divya made her film debut in 1990 with the Tamil feature ‘Nila Pennae’. She acted in several south films before breaking through with Vishwatma and the song Saat Samundar in 1992. The actress had a promising career ahead of her which was cut short by her death.
