The father of the late Bollywood diva Divya Bharti passed away on October 30. This news was shared by Sajid Nadiadwala‘s wife, Warda Khan Nadiadwala on her social media account along with their pictures with the late Om Prakash Bharti. Several celebrities expressed their grief upon learning about the demise.
Here’s the post:
Warda captioned the post saying, “Will Miss u Dad! 🙏🏻😢
#rip#omprakashbharti@kunalbhartiofficial stay strong.” As per a Bollywood Hungama report, Sajid has been taking care of Divya’s parents ever since the actress passed away and he was present for Mr Bharti’s funeral as well.
A source told the website:
Sajid was by Divya’s father side when he passed away. He was at the cremation the next day. For Sajid, Om Prakash Bharti was like his own father. He calls Divya’s parents mom and dad. Now that the patriarch is gone, Sajid will look after Divya’s mom just like any son.
To the unversed, Sajid Nadiadwala was previously married to Divya. They tied the knot at a very young age and the then 18 year-old Divya’s father apparently did not know about the marriage for several months. She later passed away in a tragic accident in the year 1993.
We give our condolences to the Bharti and Nadiadwala families. May his soul rest in peace!
