Very much like Hollywood superstar Marilyn Monroe, rising star Divya Bharti's death had all the ingredients of a dark crime thriller. Substance abuse or suicidal depression? Murder or just an alcohol-triggered accident? Extremely tragic as both deaths were, they invited wild speculations, only to grow hazy with time. And while Marilyn was 36 at the time of her death, Divya was just 19. At 15, Divya had given up school books to listen to narrations. At 16, the super-hit Bobbili Raja made her a superstar of Telugu cinema.
