She is a beauty. And yet she never played that angle. She was never a narcissistic vain girl. Her beauty is taken simply and elegantly as a part of herself. She has always stressed on her "being" and not merely looks, which she always had. As a kid I remember some movie in which she was, and when she came on screen in a yellow dress (Mithun chakraborty was in it. Can't remember the movie) and it was just a scene where she smiles....all the aunties and uncles gasped and said aloud "what a beauty". I don't know why I remember just that moment but since then, I have always found her to be a beauty. But never have I found her, using her looks . She is rarely glamorous. Mostly she is simple and yet she is stunning. ❤

The interview of the most dignified actor Deepti Naval was a treat to watch as it gave one an impression that whatever she said came out from the core of her heart. Interviewer's skills of asking questions were also commendable. May Almighty Allah bless both of you. Aameen

Casting couch has always existed. I am over 80 and lost my career refusing the casting couch test.

Lovely interview of an actress who I have admired. It is inspiring to see how Deepthi has chosen to practice and bring to fruition all of her talents. How nice it is that she knew Amrita Pritam personally! Thank you for sharing Kumkum!

She is one of the best actresses of our times . Extremely talented and graceful . So many great films starring Deepti Naval Farooq Sheikh and Naseeruddin Shah.... These guys are the real artists in every sense

Deepti ji is so well spoken and soft spoken! She is so well educated and multi talented! Utter respect for her 🙏😀

[@ramaraksha01]

I am a big fan of hers, especially her smile - good actress but not in the same class as Shabana and Smita - those 2 are at a higher level My 5 best: 5. Shabana 4. Smita 3. Jaya Bhaduri 2. Waheeda Rehman 1. Nutan Disliked Nutan from the start - thought she had a long face but the more I saw her, the more I saw a great actress
