Deepa Parab
TV actress

"Everybody on the sets knows about my sentimental nature. And that's why I am able to do all my emotional scenes with natural tears. But the real Deepa is full of life as well"

Kusum > Parab, you have been prominently doing theatre. What do you have to say about the theater scene?
Deepa Parab > Feedback is immediate, as it is a live performance.

Gauri > Hi Deepa. I like your role of "Jia" in Reth more than your role in the serial Meeth . This role is more strong as compared to that of "Nupur" (in Meeth ). Are you doing any assignment other than Reth ? With whom would you tie the knot in the future in Reth – "Shom" or "Shekhar"?
Deepa Parab > "Nupur" and "Jia" are very different but who they get married to is a secret.. Character wise, I like "Shekhar' but both are right in their own stance and everything depends on destiny.

Bhavana > What do you enjoy more - theatre or the small screen (TV)?
Deepa Parab > I enjoy all three- the small screen, the big screen and theater as also, (TV) commercials. I feel everything is falling into place, but theater is my base.

Suman > You are known to do all your emotional scenes with natural tears. How and when did you discover this natural talent?
Deepa Parab > Everybody on the sets knows about my sentimental nature. Maybe, I am extremely sensitive in real life as well. Plus, I have emotional depth.

Nama > Out of the roles you played on the small screen, which one is closest to your heart and why?
Deepa Parab > Until now, nothing so earth shattering has been offered. I've liked roles that I've played. But you're (I am) still waiting for that life-altering role.

Kkarishma > Hi, how did you get into television industry?
Deepa Parab > When I was in college, I knew I wanted to become an actress. It was not a hobby. It was my passion. I started with theater then started doing TV commercials. And then, through all the auditions, I am on my way to become a big TV star.

Prince-Charming > What sort of portrayals do you personally prefer to do?
Deepa Parab > There are lots of shades in acting. A lot depends upon the mood and situation.

Gayatri > Tell us about the off screen Deepa Parab.
Deepa Parab > She's very bubbly - always laughing. I am an emotional person, mostly an introvert. I like to cook also. Deepa is full of life.

Deepa Parab > Nothing else. I always wanted to become an actress.

Angula > How do you improve on your acting?
Deepa Parab > Experience teaches a lot. Basically that is it.

Heena > Hi, who is your favourite costar? When is your birthday? Any funny situation encountered during shoot?
Deepa Parab > I like working with Ankur Nayar, Amardeep ji, Diwakar Pundir. My birthday is on 31st of Oct and I am a Scorpion. During a shoot, I am usually slipping (tripping) around. It's a normal phenomenon. I am a very accident-prone person.

Miny > What are the things that you consider while taking up a role?
Deepa Parab > Terms and conditions play an important role. There's a character graph that I like to see before I sign on (for a role).

Sahshi > Among the roles that you've played, which is your favourite character and why?
Deepa Parab > My favourite is "Nupur" from Meeth . She's a very simple person, so you relate to that.
