Meet actor, who once challenged Shah Rukh Khan, gave blockbuster with Aamir Khan, is now unrecognisable after 34 years, his name is..., was married to...
Deepak Tijori is one of the most talented actors that Hindi film industry has ever produced. Before starting his career in films, he used to work as a front officer manager in Hotel Searock, Mumbai. He use to sit outside the offices of famous production companies, and gave multiple auditions. Deepak even auditioned for Maine Pyar Kiya, but got rejected. The role then eventually went to Salman Khan, who became a breakthrough star after his successful debut in the 1989 musical romantic drama.
Deepak eventually marked his Bollywood debut in a supporting role in the superhit romantic drama Aashiqui (1990), which also marked the debut of its leading pair Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal. Following that, he portrayed many notable yet supporting characters, in films like Sadak, Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander, Vaastav, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Baadshah, and among others.
His first film as a lead hero was Phele Nasha (1993), which was a major box office flop. Later, he ventured into direction with the erotic comedy Oops! in 2003. Deepak then helmed few other unmemorable projects such as Fareb, Khamoshh… Khauff Ki Raat, Tom, Dick, and Harry, Fox, and Do Lafzon Ki Kahani. His last release Tipppsy (2024) was helmed and headlined by him. In 2006, he participated in reality TV show Bigg Boss, which saw Rahul Roy, his Aashiqui co-star as a winner.
On the personal front, Deepak Tijori grabbed headlines after the infamous dispute with his wife, Shivani in 2017. Reports claim that he was discovered that their marriage wasn't legally valid, as Shivani had never divorced her first husband. Also he was thrown out of their home, prompting him to seek legal advice.
Amid the ongoing dispute over their marriage, Shivani reportedly demanded financial assistance from Deepak, putting the actor in a tough spot. While he was not legally allowed to provide financial help due to their illegal marriage, he reportedly felt pressure to do so. Deepak's dispute with his wife also took a toll on his relationship with their daughter Samara. He grew distanced from him surrounding the legal complications.
As their marriage controversy grew, Deepak expressed shock over her the situation, while Shivani revealed that he was fully aware that his first marriage wasn't legally dissolved. She also legally accused him of trying to damage her reputation, pretending to be unaware about the whole scenario.

Nagarjuna doesn't believe in narrative of south films doing better than Hindi: ‘It can't be fantastic all the time'
Actor Nagarjuna is not one of those who believe that the southern film industries are somehow faring better than Bollywood. In an interview with Galatta Plus, he spoke about why he sees a bright future for the Hindi film industry while Tollywood might see a down period. (Also Read: Fans realise Akhil Akkineni-Zainab Ravdjee mirrored his parents Nagarjuna-Amala in this wedding pic) Nagarjuna was asked if he believes that the Hindi film industry has 'lost it' while the southern film industries have it all figured out, and he said, 'These narratives keep changing. It's like an actor or director had four or five years of bad times. Everything cumulative probably happened there, and films didn't work. And then they say the whole film industry is gone. In my time, in the Telugu film industry, it has happened four times. And I believe the fourth time will come now, very soon. I'm very sure, it's my hunch.' He was then asked if, like producer Naga Vamsi, he believes it'll be a bloodbath in Tollywood, and he disagreed. 'It's not going to be a bloodbath, but you'll see films like Tourist Family in Tamil or Court in Telugu working so well, or Anaganaga on OTT. All these thrillers, action, and gore. People's tastes are changing, and we need to keep that in mind. They have to change fast. If we don't look at the future, things could be pretty bad. I feel that's what happened in Hindi. Now they'll change. It can't be fantastic all the time,' said Nagarjuna. Last seen in the 2024 film Naa Saami Ranga, Nagarjuna has two films lined up for release. Sekhar Kammula's Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh-starrer Kuberaa will be released in theatres on 20 June. Lokesh Kanagaraj's Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, which also stars Nagarjuna, will be released in theatres on 14 August. Nagarjuna will announce his upcoming film in the coming months.
