“The role came to me at a time when I desperately needed something to infuse life back in me,” says actress Deepshikha Nagpal who is in news for filing a case of domestic violence and abuse against ex-husband Keshav Arora. The actress will soon be seen as Maha Dayaan in fiction series Adhuri Kahani Humari.
After the bitter public mud-slinging and rounds of allegations and counter allegations between her and her estranged husband, Deepshikha has finally put it all behind her. “I spread the word that I wanted to get back to work and &TV came to me with this offer,” she says. Deepshika feels indebted to the industry for standing by her during troubled times. “This industry is like my parents — always there for me. Whenever I need work, I get it without any hassle. I desperately wanted to get back to work. I was ready to pick up anything that came my way. I actually said yes to this show without even knowing anything about the role. But thankfully, the script turned out to be meaty and the character, substantial. It’s a very well written and shot role. I liked the idea and I am sure the audience will love my character,” says the actress.
When asked what gave her strength to pick up the pieces of her life and bounce back, she becomes pensive. “I am a fighter. I lost my parents at a very early stage. God always gives me strength to sail through. Sadly our society is very backward when it comes to women voicing their marital problems. I am very proud of myself that I took a stand for my children and myself. We women are emotional fools. Even though people warned me that I was being stupid, I gave that man another chance. I am glad it’s all over. Work keeps me busy and I am very excited about starting all over again,” says Deepshikha.
Will these two failed relationships, prevent the actress from trusting a man again, we ask. “I am scared of relationships and trusting people now. Since my parents passed away, there has always been a void and I thought a man would fill that void. It’s an illusion. I don’t need any one. I have learnt the hard way,” she says.
