Deepti Bhatnagar (also referred to as Dipti Bhatnagar) is a well-known Indian model, sex symbol, and television artist from India.
Deepti Bhatnagar was born on 30th September, 1967 in a Hindu family from Meerut. She did her early education from Delhi and attended Meerut University.
She landed in modelling accidentally while searching an ad agency for her own handicrafts factory in Meerut.
Bhatnagar was promoting her handicrafts, when she got an opportunity to sign for an ad agency for modeling for the Roopmilan saris’ press ad and after that ad she signed 12 campaigns. She had given up her interest in running the handicraft factory and entered into the professional modeling world.
Deepti caught the media spotlight when she was crowned Eves Weekly's Miss India contest in 1990. She went on to represent India in the Miss World contest and actually ended up finishing in the 5th place.
Soon afterward, she was modeling in Singapore for various international fashion shows. Later she got more interest in modelling and took it as full time profession, leaving her handicrafts factory.
This attractive young woman was noticed and was approached to act in Sanjay Gupta's movie 'Ram Shastra'. The movie was released in 1995. Unfortunately, the movie failed to make any impact at the box office.
Not discouraged she signed up for a few more films, however, none of them were able to launch her career. She has acted in a total of approximately 9 Hindi movies, 3 Telegu movies, and 1 English movie, from 1995 through to 2004. Two of the Hindi movies have been opposite Mithun Chakraborty.
This 5 feet 7 inch sexy actress acted in the super hit Telugu film ‘Pellisandadi’ starring Srikanth directed by Raghavender Rao. Later she acted in 2 other movies in Telugu.
She got married to Randeep Arya, and started her own production company 'Deepti Bhatnagar Productions'; hired about 20 staff, and acquired facilities of dubbing, editing, and post-production. She has managed to do this without any external financing or even loans.
Since 2001 she is involved in the production of 'Musafir Hoon Yaaron', a travel guide show; a religious travel show called 'Yatra'; and a TV serial called 'Kabhi Aaye Na Judaai'. All of these shows are telecast on Star Plus.
This move on her part actually benefited her more than anything else, she loves traveling, and since then has traveled in over 80 countries, and admits that she enjoys this work more than modeling and acting in movies.
Some of her better known films are Ram Shastra, Pelli Sandadi (in Telugu), Inferno (in English) and the Aamir Khan starrer Mann.
