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.

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 says there is no shame in getting married thrice after two failed marriages: 'I don't make the same wrong choices again'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal , known for her roles in films like 'Baadshah' and 'Sirf Tum', recently opened up about her two failed marriages and how she still feels confident about entering another relationship if things fall into place. The actress admitted that there is nothing to blame on her ex-partners, but she attributes the failures to the wrong timing in her life. Deepshikha about her divorce 'Tevar' makers upset over Arjun, Sonakshi link-ups In an interview with Instant Bollywood, Deepshikha was asked whether she would consider getting married once again. She completely embraced the idea and admitted that there is nothing wrong with marrying more than once, as she has already gone through two divorces. 'I can get married three times, four times — I have no shame in this. At least I am living my life. When I see two people who don't get along...' she added. She also acknowledged that perhaps she wasn't the right person for her ex-partners, and vice versa. 'I always got married for the wrong reasons. You should always get married for the right reasons, so I can't blame the guy for everything. I think I'm a die-hard romantic. I believe in love, I believe in romance, I believe in marriage.

You should live your life,' she said. Parents' fighting each other The 'Baadshah' actress shared how her parents used to fight and then reconcile the next morning, as they had a love-hate relationship. They never got divorced because of the love they still carried for each other, even during their arguments. Her parents used to write letters to each other saying they were divorcing, and one day Deepshikha asked them to marry someone else and move on. 'I believe everyone has the right to live their life. You don't have to be punished for one mistake for the rest of your life. Don't suffer. I know people talk badly about you. Nothing is easy. Being in the wrong relationship or a bad relationship is also a challenge for you,' she stated. Moving on from failed marriaged She shared that even after moving on from her first marriage and remarrying, things still didn't work out. The actress revealed that her psychiatrist told her that her relationship pattern is different — she doesn't enter relationships easily, and it takes her a long time to get in and out of them. 'It takes me five to six years. I went on a guilt trip, but then I realised that I had to break the pattern. So I took help from the Buddhist art of living modality. ' She began to understand why these things were happening to her, after exploring new approaches. She did a course on Access Consciousness and discovered that many of her choices were influenced by a low life condition. 'I've raised my standards and energy so I don't make the same wrong choices again. I've worked on myself. So now, even if I've been single for seven years, I don't feel like, 'Oh my God, there's nobody.' It's okay. The right person will come. Now, I know what I want,' she revealed. She was married to Jeet Upendra , and they separated in 2007. She then married Kaishav Arora in 2012 and got divorced in 2016.
