Deepshikha Nagpal Says B-Grade Films Hurt Her Bollywood Image: 'I Made Wrong Choices'
Last Updated: Deepshikha Nagpal, known for films like Koyla and Baadshah, moved to TV after poor film choices hurt her career. Deepshikha Nagpal, who has starred in popular Bollywood movies like Koyla, Baadshah, Dillagi and Partner, recently talked about her move from films to TV. In a new interview, she said that some wrong choices in films made people in the industry judge her and put her in a certain category. This made her decide to try her luck on television instead. Deepshikha also shared that she loves all the roles she has played and is very passionate about acting. She said acting wasn't her first plan, but once she started, she worked hard. Looking back, she admitted she made some mistakes in choosing films but never disliked any of her roles. The actress told Instant Bollywood, 'During that time, it used to be like if it's a new production, then it's 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 feel a godfather is very important to guide you. I made a lot of wrong film choices at that time. My grandfather used to say that no work is small or big, work is work. I think I took that too seriously, and I kept doing whatever work came my way. I did a lot of stupid films which never released." Talking about her transition to television, she said, 'Some of the releases had a very bad impact on my career. I had signed a lot of big films, but after my poster in the Trade Guide, people used to judge that it's a B-grade movie she is doing, and they didn't cast me. Then I got to know that the damage is done. I said, 'Can we just forget about it?' They said, 'No, it will impact our film. ' Then I started doing television shows. I was doing wrong films, people were not trusting me and categorising me that I cannot be an A-lister. So then I got frustrated. It was new then—Doordarshan, Zee TV—and roles were coming to me easily. Even after doing films, I was one of the few who took TV, and it helped me establish myself again." Deepshikha became well-known on TV for playing negative roles in shows like Son Pari, Ramayan, Karishma – The Miracles of Destiny, Baalveer, Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Santoshi Maa, and more. She also joined reality shows like Bigg Boss 8 and Nach Baliye. First Published: June 08, 2025, 08:46 IST

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.
