Salman Khan's ‘sister', worked with Shah Rukh Khan, her career was ruined after doing B-grade films, got married at 20, was divorced twice, she is now…
In the world of glitz and glamour, it is extremely hard for someone to make a name for themselves. There are many times when an actor or actress starts with a bang and their debut is a hit. However, then these actors suddenly disappear from the industry. Today, we are discussing someone who shared screen space with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and more.
This actress rose to fame with movies like Koyla, Badshah, Dillagi and Partner. She has worked in TV and movies. While her professional life was in the news, her personal life also gathered attention. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this actress is none other than Deepshikha Nagpal.
In 1993, Deepshikha Nagpal entered the TV industry. With her grit and determination, the actress made a name for herself in TV and Bollywood. Deepshikha was also seen in Shah Rukh Khan's films Baadshah and Karan Arjun.
However, Deepshikha's major breakthrough was when she featured in Koyla. The role brought her more name and fame. She managed to win the hearts of millions of people.
Salman Khan's Sister Whose Career Was Ruined After B-Grade Movies (Note: This line seems unrelated—consider removing or clarifying if needed.)
Recently, in a conversation, Deepshikha revealed how B-grade movies ruined her career. She said, 'At that time, if there was a new production, it was a B-grade film, like Yash Raj and Subhash Ghai films were like A-list films. So it was difficult to understand how to choose. There was no godfather, and now I think a godfather is very important to guide you.'
She added, 'I chose a lot of wrong films at that time. My grandfather used to say that no work is small or big, work is work. I think I took it too seriously, and whatever work came to me, I did it. I did a lot of stupid films that never released.'
On her decision to move to TV, the actress said, 'A few releases affected my career very badly. I had signed many big films, but after my poster in the trade guide, people judged that she is doing a B-grade film, and they did not cast me. Then I realised the damage was done. I said, 'Can we forget this?' They said, 'No, it will affect our film.' Then I started doing TV shows. I was doing the wrong films, people were not trusting me and telling me that I cannot be an A-lister. So then I got disheartened. Everything was new then — Doordarshan, Zee TV — and roles were coming easily to me. Even after doing films, I was one of the few who chose TV, and it helped me establish myself again.'
Deepshikha married at the age of 20 and had two kids with him. However, years later, the two got divorced. In 2012, she re-married — this time to Indore-based Keshav Arora, who had been her co-actor in her directorial debut Yeh Dooriyan. After four years, the couple parted ways.

Deepshikha Nagpal recalls simplicity of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan on sets: ‘Everybody wants vanity vans today'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal recently opened up about the stark contrast between Bollywood stars of the 90s and the current generation of actors. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she reflected on the simplicity and humility she witnessed on sets back in the day — particularly recalling her time shooting Koyla (1997) with Shah Rukh Khan . Deepshikha pointed out how acting wasn't considered a 'respected' profession earlier, and the focus was purely on the craft. 'Acting was not a profession before; it was not a respected job. Now, everybody wants to become an actor; they want vanity vans and staff. I have seen Shah Rukh Khan working in Koyla. There were no vanity vans back then. He would just sleep there in the midst of coal mine machinery and flashing lights. The focus was on work. That we need to finish this scene by this date,' she said. 04:11 SRK-Salman's 'Kat' fight! Salman Khan too had no entourage in the early days Deepshikha also recalled the simplicity of Salman Khan during his earlier years in the industry. She said that both Shah Rukh and Salman were grounded and approachable on set. 'I've even seen how Salman once shot for films. Big stars would get a big makeup room. He would walk alone from the set to his makeup room without a bodyguard or security.

Deepshikha Nagpal remembers how humble Shah Rukh Khan was during Koyla shoot: ‘He'd sleep amid machinery, lights'
Actor Deepshikha Nagpal recollected in a recent interview how stars like Shah Rukh Khan were humble at the beginning of their careers, as compared to the actors today. Talking to Bollywood Bubble, she recalled shooting for Koyla (1997) with Shah Rukh and how he would adjust on set in an age of no vanity van. (Also Read: Deepshikha Nagpal says doing B-grade films damaged her career, people in Bollywood judged her: 'The damage is done') Deepshikha was asked if she had seen a change in the way stars behave now versus how they behaved in the 90s, and she brought up Shah Rukh as an example. She said, 'Acting was not a profession before now; it was not a respected job. Now, everybody wants to become an actor; they want vanity vans and staff. I have seen Shah Rukh Khan working in Koyla. There were no vanity vans back then. He would just sleep there in the midst of coal mine machinery and flashing lights. The focus was on work. That we need to finish this scene by this date.' She also recalled a time when Salman did not have a large entourage, stating that he or Shah Rukh can make demands for one today due to their stature. 'I've even seen how Salman once shot for films. Big stars would get a big makeup room. He would walk alone from the set to his makeup room without a bodyguard or security. They were so humble, we used to have lunch together. After working for 30 years, they demand today because they have such a fan following,' said Deepshikha. Deepshikha was known for playing key roles in films like Koyla, Baadshah, Dillagi, Rishtey and Partner. She also acted in TV shows like Shaktimaan, Ramayan, Son Pari, and Kittie Party. Deepshikha was also a contestant on Bigg Boss season 8. She was last seen in the 2019 film One Day: Justice Delivered. She most recently played key roles in TV shows like Megha Barsange and Ishq Jabariya. Shah Rukh will soon star in Siddharth Anand's King with Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. Salman is yet to announce his upcoming project after Sikandar, which was released this year.

Honey Singh jabs Badshah after rapper justifies his viral Dua Lipa remark: ‘Genius'
Singer and rapper Badshah created a storm on the internet after writing 'I'd rather make babies with Dua Lipa'. Since then he faced backlash on the internet. While he reacted to the criticism, Badshah also justified his words, leaving many, including Honey Singh stunned. After facing mixed reactions to his 'I'd rather make babies with her' comment about Dua Lipa, Badshah later called it a compliment. He wrote, 'I think one of the most beautiful compliments you can give a woman you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi, tumhari soch saamne aayi hai (Not my thoughts, but your thinking came forward).' His clarification further left netizens fuming. Some even called it a 'bad coverup.' Reacting to the news by a media outlet, Honey Singh, Badshah's rival, made fun of his justification. Honey Singh wrote in the comment section of the news article, 'Genius' with some laughing and clapping hands emojis. Reacting to Singh's comment, a user wrote, 'Paaji using sarcasm.' 'Paaji tussi great ho,' added another user. Honey Singh and Badshah were once part of a popular rap collective Mafia Mundeer. Besides them, it also included Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar. However, following a public fallout that led to the group's split, the two have frequently been seen taking indirect and direct jabs at each other via interviews, social media posts and more. However, last year Badsha had shared that he wished to end their fallout. During his Dehradun concert, he said, as per Hindustan Times, "There was a phase in my life when I held a grudge against one person, and now I want to call it quits and leave that behind – and that's Honey Singh. I was unhappy because of some misunderstanding, but I realised that when we were together, there were far fewer people trying to bring us together than those trying to break us apart. Today, I just want to let everyone know I've moved on, and I wish him all the best.' Now, it is clear that Honey Singh might not be on the same page as Badshah. In fact, previously he once more took a dig at Badshah during his concert of the Millionaire tour.
