New Delhi: In an old interview, the late actor Divya Bharti talked about the first autograph she had signed for a fan. In 1992, Divya said in an interview on the 'Geet' set that she wanted to know the name of a fan who was "a school-going kid," but the fan walked away. The actor stated that she found it embarrassing.
Divya had addressed the question about signing her first autograph in an old video that was shared by a fan page on Instagram.
"Hann buri tarah se yaad hai (Yes, I remember it very well). I signed the autograph and my mom said, 'Aare pehla autograph sign kiya hai, ladki ka naam toh puch (This is the first autograph that you are signing, ask the girl's name)'," the actor said.
"She is a school-going kid, mere se bhi choti thi (She was younger than me). If I was 14, she was probably 10. So I said, 'Idhaar aao, idhaar aao, tumhara naam kya hai (Come here, what is your name)?' She just looked at me (rolls eyes) and she walked away. Kachra hogaya mera khare khare (I was embarrassed then and there)," she added.
