Meet actor who worked with Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, ventured into production and direction; lived with somebody else’s wife for 20 years

As a dedicated follower of the enigmatic world of Bollywood, I find myself constantly amazed by the intricate tapestry of lives woven within its realm. Deepak Tijori, a name that resonates with me, is one such character whose life story mirrors a riveting Bollywood film script.

Numerous actors have made a name for themselves through notable supporting performances in the industry. Today, let’s explore the filmography of an individual who collaborated with stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, eventually choosing to shift focus and work primarily as a director instead.

 

In the realm of Bollywood, I simply can’t get enough of the one and only Deepak Tijori! This man is a legend, known for his captivating supporting roles in numerous ’90s films that left an indelible mark on us all. My journey with him began with the blockbuster hit, Aashiqui, where he made his debut. Though he was a supporting actor then, his presence was undeniable. Later, I had the pleasure of seeing him in movies like Khiladi, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Ghulam, Baadshah, and many more. Each time, he left a lasting impression!

Beyond his initial endeavors, he subsequently delved into filmmaking with his first movie, titled “Oops!”, which caused quite a stir upon its 2003 release due to its unconventional subject matter – male stripping. Following this, he directed films such as Fareb, Khamoshh… Khauff Ki Raat, Tom, Dick, and Harry, Fox, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani, culminating with Tipppsy, his latest directorial effort released earlier this year, featuring Kainaat Arora, Alankrita Sahai, among others.

Beyond this, it’s worth mentioning that Deepak joined the initial season of the contentious reality program, Bigg Boss. This was due to Salil Ankola’s eviction, a consequence of an arrangement he had with Balaji Telefilms, which prohibited him from appearing or acting in television series produced by other studios.

Apart from acting, Tijori manages his own production company called Tijori Films which is known for creating TV shows. One of the most well-liked series produced by him was titled Rishtey. Not too long ago, Tijori made a new venture into the music industry with the establishment of his label, Tijori Music, debuting its first song, Gumshuda.

Deepak’s professional journey was as thrilling as a roller-coaster ride, and his personal life mirrored the same turbulence. It came as quite a surprise when it emerged that despite spending two decades together, Deepak and Shivani Taneja were not legally married.

In the aftermath of recurring arguments, it emerged during divorce proceedings that Deepak’s wife, Shivani, wasn’t actually lawfully wedded to him. It turned out that she was still married to someone else, as her previous marriage hadn’t been legally terminated. The revelation came from Deepak’s lawyer who uncovered this information during an investigation.
