Deepak Parashar, Actor

Where were you career-wise at 22?
After graduating from St Stephen's College and PGDAV College, Delhi University, I did hotel management from Oberoi Intercontinental, Delhi. I was considering joining the defence personnel since my father was in the Indian Army or applying for a job with an Airlines. But destiny chose modelling for me, and I later graduated to acting. I was the brand ambassador of Reliance's Vimal Suitings for three years.
What was your romantic status?
I wore my heart on my sleeve. I enjoyed the women fan following. The male following was alarming as I became their role model. A few competitors successfully tried to label my sexuality, which marred my career.
What was your bank balance then?
I had no complaints. I was comfortable.
