Actress Deepshikha Nagpal Directs her first film “Ye Dooriyan”

It seems Deepshikha Nagpal after her successful stint in films like (Koyla, Baadshah, Life Partner, Dhoom Dhadaka, etc.) is towards fulfilling her dream of direction. But this actress has gone a step ahead and has also decided to write love story titled, “Yeh Dooriyan” which also stars Chitrashi Rawat (Chak De girl), K K Menon and a new comer.

“It was not tough juggling some many roles, as things fell into place. When I first suggested my friends about a script, they said write it yourself. I then decided to produce and direct the film on my own, for I did not want to explain anything to anybody, it’s my baby,” says Deepshika.

On the reasons for casting herself as a lead, she says, “The story demanded my inclusion, its not that I wanted to launch myself, she said defensively.” Deepshikha further refused to talk much about her character or the film saying, “Its better you wait for August when it will release. All I will say is that it’s a pretty today’s kind of woman’s oriented metropolitan story. At the same time it is also a classy masala entertainer with good songs. We have already recorded two chirpy numbers with Meet Brothers. The shooting will begin in Feb 2010 with the first schedule in Goa”, she added.
 
Deepshikha admitted that it’s not going to be easy handling all departments in Yeh Dooriyan, “But I am a go getter and always believe in trying my luck. I have even attempted to be different in my films where I have played a negative, item girl, etc.”

She also accepted the fact that, “I always wanted to be behind the camera and acting happened by chance, when Dev Anand offered me Gangster. I was also young and did not have proper guidance. But I am happy with my over all journey for you can only put in your best. Success and failure are not in our hands. All said and done, I am quite popular compared to many others, who remain oblivious to the world”.

Few know that Deepshikha comes from a filmy family, “My nana Vithaldas Panchotia (Better known as Master Vithal) hailed from the silent era and had given a break to Dada Muni, Ashok Kumar. My mother was a Guajarati film producer and an actress, my father was also a film maker, so I have eaten, drank and slept cinema. In this view, my turning to film making is but a natural conclusion”.
 
Deepshikha further revealed that she has got a very hot look in the film. “My appearance has always been appreciated. I believe that real beauty goes beyond just looks and hinges a lot on having a positive outlook to life.” Deepshikha says “Well times have changed and today audiences don’t only want 17/18 year heroines”.
 
Besides films, Deepshika has also done television. “I really liked my character Kuki in Kitty Party, it was so me! The Colors reality show, Dancing Queen was also great”, ends this trained dancer.
