Karan Johar in Fresh Nepotism Row
Deepika, according to sources, will be seen in a Hindi film tentatively titled Gaalib. The film is based on the life of Galib Guru, who is the son of Afzal Guru. Afzal was executed on 9 February 2013, after being convicted for his involvement in the 13 December Indian Parliament attack. Deepika will play Galib’s mother in the film.
After Ramayan, Deepika Chikhalia was seen in popular television shows like Vikram Aur Betaal, and The Sword of Tipu Sultan. She played supporting roles in some Hindi films like Bhagwaan Dada (1986), Ghar Sansar (1986), Ghar Ka Chiraag (1989) and others. Deepika failed to break into the league of top Bollywood actresses as she was typecast in playing mythological characters on television. She also appeared in the Bengali film Asha O Bhalobasa (1989) opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee which was a box office hit.
