The sudden demise of the super star left hundreds of hearts grief stricken. While many people were in a shock of disbelief, many others came out with different conspiracy theories behind the death of their beloved actress. One such theory that evolved after the actress’s death accused Sajid Nadiadwala, her husband to be the main culprit involved in plotting her murder. While according to another theory, it was the involvement of Sajid with the underworld and Divya’s turmoil relationship with her mother that completely devastated the actress, which led her to commit suicide. But the main cause of her death till date remains a mystery. On the day of her death, Divya had finalized a new apartment deal for herself. Considering the fact that it was pretty hard to own a good flat in a place like Mumbai, the actress was exceptionally happy and kept describing her newly purchased 4 BHK apartment to Kunal, her brother. However, he soon left the apartment.

Divya had returned from Chennai after finishing with her movie shoot and was supposed to fly off to Hyderabad that very day for another project. But as she had to finalize her new apartment deal and she postponed her Hyderabad visit by one day. Divya was roaming with a bandaged foot that day and also informed her producers about her injury.

Soon Divya was supposed to meet her friend and dress designer Neeta Lulla and her husband at her Versova flat. The Versova flat where Divya was staying was somehow not registered on her name.

Neeta along with her husband arrived around 10pm at Divya’s place. All three of them sat in the living room, chatting and consuming alcohol. Her maid was also present in the same room with them. She was actually having a continuous conversation with Diyva all that while. It was when Amrita went back to the kitchen that Divya moved towards the window while still talking to her maid, loudly.

Neeta along with her husband was engrossed in watching a video on television and as such was not participating in the conversation. Divya’s living room did not have any balcony but had an open window. Unlike other windows in the building, this was the only window that was deprived of grills. There was a parking lot beneath the window, but that unfortunate day there was not even a single car parked there.

Divya climbed over the window and rested on a narrow ledge that was located below the open window. She had her back facing the living room. It was in an attempt when Divya tried to turn around to get on a proper hold of the window frame that she slipped off the ledge and fell straight onto the concrete below. Right after the fall, Divya was found drowned in a pool of her own blood. Though she was still alive on her way to the hospital, her pulse rate had dropped rapidly. Divya finally took her last breath in the emergency department of Cooper Hospital in Mumbai.

Though the superstar is no more with us today, but we still memorize and commemorate her for her short but remarkable career!
