When Sridevi, joined the cast, strange things started happening on the sets. There was a scene that was already shot with Divya Bharti, Raveena Tandon and Shakti Kapoor. Divya used to fumble during a dialogue and the scene took a lot of retakes. When Sridevi started shooting for the scene again, she started fumbling at the exact same place and couldn’t deliver after a lot of retakes leaving Raveena and Shakti stunned.
Later, Shakti Kapoor suggested that the team should chant Gayatri Mantra. Raveena Tandon held Sridevi‘s hand and both abided and the scene could be shot smoothly thereafter. Unfortunately, many years later, just like Divya Bharti, even Sridevi died a mysterious death by drowning in a bathtub.
Another film of Divya Bharti which was released after her death was Rang. Her co-star from the film Ayesha Jhulka in an interview stated, “Strange things happened during and after the film. We were all at the screening and when Divya’s entry scene started, entire screen fell apart leaving everyone panicked and shocked.”
