Deepshikha Nagpal On Daughter Breaking Koyla CDs: ‘Affected Me Psychologically'
Last Updated: Despite trying to break free from the made-up persona, Deepshikha Nagpal revealed that she was repeatedly offered only negative roles after Baadshah. Deepshikha Nagpal is a familiar face in the 90s entertainment world. The actress is known for her powerful performances in hit films like Koyla, Baadshah, Dillagi, Rishtey and Partner. Even after starring with bigwigs like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, she shifted to the television industry, as she felt that some wrong choices in films made people judge her. Shedding light on it, Deepshikha opened up about the highs and lows of her acting career. In a candid interview with The Indian Express, the actress revealed how consistent typecasting for playing negative roles took a deep psychological toll on her, both within the industry and at home. Despite trying to break free from the made-up persona, Deepshikha revealed that she was repeatedly offered only negative roles after Baadshah. 'Back then, negative roles weren't respected. 'Yeh toh side actress hai, bure kaam karti hai' (She's a side actress, does bad things). You don't want to hear that when you are living in this society," she said, describing the societal judgement she encountered. This scrutiny wasn't limited to the film industry. Even on television, Deepshikha found audiences and industry peers unfairly labelling even her positive characters. But perhaps the most painful criticism came from within her own family. The actress shared that she found little support from her extended family when she lost both her parents. 'During the lockdown, I reflected on my career, I had done such big films, but when I came home from shoots, no one appreciated my work. Instead, I was told, 'What have you done? Tumne toh kapde utaare iss film mein… Tum toh aise ho, tumhare bacche tumko respect nahi karenge.' I felt ashamed," she added. Recalling a heart-wrenching moment of her daughter breaking CDs of Koyla, the actress expressed, 'All of it made me go silent—It affected me psychologically. I felt like a failure as an actor, in my marriage, everywhere. I was broken inside. I eventually learnt that there's no market for your sorrow, so I never carried that baggage to work. Acting became my escape. It helped me heal." Raised in a conservative household, Deepshikha said that she was the 'typical good girl' who followed all the rules. Butthe public and industry perception painted a very different picture, which left her feeling judged and anxious. First Published:

Deepshikha Nagpal breaks down, says was judged for negative roles in Shah Rukh Khan's films: ‘My daughter would break Koyla CDs, I was shattered'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal recently sat down for an emotional tell-all on SCREEN's Dear Me… Season 2. While the actress shared heartwarming memories of working with superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Koyla and Baadshah, she also opened up about the emotional toll of being typecast in negative roles. Deepshikha, who has portrayed various antagonistic characters on both television and in films, revealed she was psychologically impacted by harsh comments and judgment—especially from her own family. Talking about the downside of playing negative characters, Deepshikha said, 'After Baadshah, I was offered only negative roles. I didn't want to do those because people started judging me. Back then, negative roles weren't respected. 'Yeh toh side actress hai, bure kaam karti hai' (She's a side actress, does bad things). You don't want to hear that when you're living in this society.' Also Read: Deepshikha Nagpal was offered Karan Arjun, later worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Koyla: 'I would not talk to him, was very scared' Deepshikha also opened up about playing negative roles on TV. She said, 'On TV, I also played negative roles because of typecast. Koyla was negative, even though Bindya was not negative; she was in love with SRK and saved Madhuri, but because she worked with Amrish Puri, she was negative. In Baadshah, just because I was with the villain, I was negative. TV also started offering such roles then, to perform negative roles are brilliant, you have full freedom. But I used to hate it because people were judging me. I would only keep explaining my choices to people.' Deepshikha recalled how criticism for her negative roles deeply affected her personal life. 'My parents had passed away, so there was no one to guide me. My relatives judged me constantly. During the lockdown, I reflected on my career—I had done such big films, but when I came home from shoots, no one appreciated my work. Instead, I was told, 'What have you done? Tumne toh kapde utaare iss film mein… Tum toh aise ho, tumhare bacche tumko respect nahi karenge.' I felt ashamed. I started questioning why I ever did Koyla or Baadshah. I developed so many complexes that I stopped telling anyone what I was working on.' 'My daughter used to break Koyla CDs. All of it made me go silent—it affected me psychologically. I felt like a failure—as an actor, in my marriage, everywhere. I was broken inside. I eventually learned that there's no market for your sorrow, so I never carried that baggage to work. Acting became my escape. It helped me heal,' she added. Recalling a moment, she decided to break through her suppression. Deepshikha shared, 'My father was very strict, so I had no boyfriends, I was that typical good girl. But any wrong picture in a magazine, a sensational headline, or even if anyone came to drop me home, there was judgment, and I would only cry. Even if I went for a meeting and the door was shut, I would get very anxious, I would think what people would be thinking outside. But let me tell you, nobody in the industry ever made a bad comment on me. When I would come out, people would weirdly stare at me, thinking what I had done inside. It would just choke me.' 'One day I was shooting for Barsaat Ki Raat in Manali, and I learned that a big actor was talking shit about me. He said that we had met for dinner, and I got very angry. I went and yelled at him when I confronted him, and he got so scared. That day Deepshikha changed, since that day I started screaming. Thank god that happened, because if you get suppressed, people will keep pushing you down,' Deepshika added.

Deepshikha Nagpal reveals Aishwarya Rai was originally cast for 'Rishtey', not Karisma Kapoor: 'I was pregnant with my daughter at the time'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal revealed that Aishwarya Rai was initially considered for the lead role in 'Rishtey' before Karisma Kapoor. She was first approached while pregnant and later accepted the role after hearing the strong story. On set, she shared memorable moments with Anil Kapoor and balanced motherhood with her career. Actress Deepshikha Nagpal is best known for her roles in movies such as 'Koyla', 'Baadshah', 'Dillagi', and 'Partner'. In a recent interview, she disclosed that Aishwarya Rai was initially considered for the lead role in 'Rishtey' before Karisma Kapoor took it. Initial Approach and Pregnancy In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Deepshikha recalled how she was first approached for the film 'Rishtey' by Indra Kumar. At that time, she was pregnant and had to decline the offer. She explained, 'Rishtey, now, every film has a story. So Rishtey came to me when Indra ji called me. I said, 'I can't do it—I'm pregnant.' I was pregnant with my daughter at the time. So I told him, 'I can't do it.'' However, six months later, Indra ji reached out again. Deepshikha noted that back then, filmmakers were patient with actors' schedules. She said, 'He called and asked, 'Deepshikha, are you free?' I said, 'Your film must be completed by now. You must've even started another one.' He said, 'No, the casting has changed.'' Casting Changes and Role Hesitation The actress further added, 'At that time, Aishwarya Rai was supposed to be the heroine, and later Karisma Kapoor was signed. So I said, 'Okay, I'll come and hear the role.' I went to Indra ji's office, and he explained the character. I said, 'No, I don't want to do this. Every time I'm offered a role, I'm either breaking up someone's home or playing someone's second girlfriend, or the man is having an affair with me while being married. ' I told him, 'Listen, I'm done with such roles.' He said, 'Just hear the climax once.' And when he narrated the climax, I said to myself, 'What a strong story! I love it.' I said, 'I'm doing the film.'' On-Set Experiences She revealed that her daughter was just about four months old when she worked on the movie. She was a big fan of Anil Kapoor and felt shy during a confrontation scene with him. Anil joked that getting married would make such scenes easier to perform. She also described a club scene where her character tells Karisma's character that despite her attire, she had slept with her husband. Balancing Motherhood and Career Deepshikha added that the scene was very intense. Karisma often remarked on how thin she looked despite being a mother, to which she would jokingly respond that people should wait until she got married to see what happens. She noted that such comments were common at the time, but nowadays, many people successfully balance work and personal life.

Deepshikha Nagpal on being judged for bold Koyla scene with Amrish Puri: ‘People said I removed my clothes—but nowadays, every actress is doing lovemaking scenes'
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal , who is known for her roles in films like Koyla, Baadshah, Dillagi and Partner, recently revisited the controversy surrounding her bold scene with Amrish Puri in the 1997 film Koyla. In a recent interview, she recalled how audiences misjudged the character of Bindya Rani, and clarified that her role was far from the sleazy interpretation people often assumed. 'This was the Bindya Rani scene with Amrish Puri,' she told Bollywood Bubble while looking at an old still from the film. 'That character itself was like that—she had to work with Amrish Puri. Nowadays, people often make such scenes sleazy... asking actresses to remove their clothes and all. But this character wasn't like that. She had no choice, and that's why she ended up loving Shah Rukh's character.' She also praised the aesthetic sensibility of the scene. 'What lighting! Sameer Arya had done fantastic lighting,' Deepshikha added. 'My mom was on set, we all decided together' The actress shared how director Rakesh Roshan handled the sensitive scene with utmost respect and dignity. 'Rakesh ji asked me, 'Deepshikha, this is the kind of scene we need to do. How should we go about it?'' she recalled, emphasizing how even as a newcomer, she was included in the creative process. With her mother present on set, Deepshikha said they planned every shot carefully. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'I told him, 'No problem, Rakesh ji. How do you want to shoot it?' He said, 'We'll shoot from the front.' I was wearing a tube top, and I said, 'I'll keep my hand like this...'' She clarified that the final shot merely suggested nudity while ensuring she remained covered. 'From the back, I was wearing a swimming costume, and I had my hand placed just so. It was shot in a way that suggested frontal nudity without showing anything,' she explained. Deepshikha Nagpal talks about domestic violence On public judgment and owning her choices Despite the scene being filmed tastefully, the actress revealed she faced harsh judgment after the film's release. 'My mom was watching it all—yes, we did it, but on screen, the impact was Oh my God! And then people judged me: 'Oh my God, she removed her clothes!'' Deepshikha spoke candidly about the double standards actresses face in the industry. 'People won't respect you anymore... But look at today—even heroine, every second actress, are doing lovemaking scenes,' she pointed out. 'So what did I even do back then? I was glamorous—I had good legs, a little cleavage was showing—so what was wrong with that?' The Bigg Boss 8 contestant concluded on a confident note, saying she stands by her choices. 'I had to do that back then, but I'm not ashamed. I'm very proud of my work.'
