Deepti Naval is an Indian actress. She was born in India and attended college in United States of America , where she was educated at the City University of New York and received her Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at Hunter College in Manhattan. [1]
She started her films in Ek Bar Phir in 1980. She is known to be a sensitive actress and was a part of the art films and light films of the 80's. Saath Saath , Chashme Buddoor, Mirch Masala and Naram Garam are some of her films from the era. She was often cast with Farooq Shaikh. Though considered as talented as Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil she somehow did not achieve the same stature in terms of awards or memorable casts.
She was at one time married to filmmaker and director Prakash Jha. She was also once involved with actor Nana Patekar, and later engaged to Vinod Pandit before he died. [2]
Once she moved out of lead roles, she portrayed character roles in mainstream Hindi films but was not satisfied with the roles she got and took a break. Of late she has made a comeback of sorts with films like Bhawander and Freaky Chakra.
