The secret marriage and conversion

Confirmed1992

At eighteen, Divya secretly married producer Sajid Nadiadwala and reportedly converted to Islam, taking the name Sana — all kept out of public view even as her fame peaked.

In May 1992, at the height of her rise, the 18-year-old Divya Bharti married film producer Sajid Nadiadwala. The marriage was kept private at the time; she is reported to have converted to Islam and taken the name Sana.

Because so much of her personal life was concealed from the public and press, it became fertile ground for speculation after her death — one of several private threads that fed the endless theorising about her final months.
