Film actress Deepti Naval tells about her interest in paintings. She says " I was in school as a kid I used to draw and paint. Seriously I took it up as my major subject when I did college in New york. I went to Hunter college of the city University of New York and painting was my major subjective. I mean I was supposed to take it up as a career that's what the family thought but I chose to come back here to Bombay and join Hindi films so that's how I stayed away from it so long and that's how nobody knows about it because when I really started acting. There was no time to paint."
Deepti Naval is an Indian actress mostly active in Hindi cinema, as well as a director, writer, painter, and photographer. Her major contribution has been in the area of art cinema, winning critical acclaim for her sensitive and ‘close to life’ characters that emphasized the changing roles of women in India.
Naval made her debut in 1978 with Shyam Benegal's film Junoon. Two years later, she played a lead role in the critically acclaimed Ek Baar Phir.[1] Alongside Smita Patil and Shabana Azmi, she became one of the key actresses of 1980s Parallel Cinema, earning praise for her roles in films like Kamla (1984) or Ankahee (1985).
Starting with Chashme Buddoor in 1981, she was often cast with Farooq Shaikh and they became one of India's most iconic on-screen couples of the early 1980s, with films such as Saath Saath, Kissi Se Na Kehna, Katha and Rang Birangi. Three decades later, they were reunited in Tell Me O Kkhuda (2011). Their last film together was Listen... Amaya which was released in 2013, the year of Shaikh's death.
While she was very prolific in the 1980s, her career slowed down in the 1990s and she seized the opportunity to explore other art forms.[2] She came back in the 2000s with social dramas like Bawandar or Firaaq, and won Best Actress awards in several international film festivals for her roles in Leela (2002), Memories in March (2010) and Listen... Amaya (2013). She was also recognized as the 2007 Tribute Honoree of the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.
Mostly present in Hindi cinema, Naval also acted in other Indian languages, as with the critically acclaimed Marhi Da Deeva and Mane, which respectively won the award for Best Feature Film in Punjabi and Best Feature Film in Kannada at the 1990 National Film Awards ceremony. She was to make her debut in a Bengali movie under director Sanjoy Nag but the film - Memories in March - was eventually shot in English.
Naval has been active on TV with a few telefilms and serials such as Sauda (1992), Tanaav (1994) or Muqammal (2003). She came back in 2011 with the daily soap opera Mukti Bandhan on Colors. She made her theater debut in 2015 with the poetic stage show Ek Mulaqaat in which she played the celebrated Punjabi writer Amrita Pritam.
