Birthday Greetings to the critically acclaimed actress Deepti Naval, who turned 62 years today.

Deepti Naval, who featured in several successful flicks like ‘Chashme Baddoor’ (1981), ‘Mirch Masala’, ‘Saath Saath’, ‘Angoor’ and many more is regarded as one of the most talented actresses of all times. Deepti Naval has not just established herself as an actress but has also accomplished herself as a painter and photographer.

Her father wanted her to become a painter while she loved acting. But she continued to pursue both arts and has several noted paintings of nuns, Kumaon region, landscapes and much more. Her works have been displayed at several exhibitions. She finds herself best at making self portraits and paints the faces which are hard, lonely and morbid. Her ‘Pregnant Nun’ painting was the most talked about, which forced her to explain its significance.

Deepti Naval not just worked in front of the camera but was also fascinated by filmmaking. Her directorial debut — ‘Do Paise Ki Dhoop, Chaar Aane Ki Baarish’ starring Manisha Koirala is a critically acclaimed film.
