The Deol family, led by Dharmendra, is one of the most popular film families in India.

While all members of the Deol family are quite popular in their own right, today we will tell you about one of Dharmendra’s lesser-known brides, Deepti Bhatnagar, who briefly acted in the 90s before moving out of the limelight and becoming a popular travel vlogger.

Deepti Bhatnagar later bought a house in Mumbai from none other than Madhuri Dixit. “When I first came to Mumbai at the age of 22, I opened my first bank account in Juhu State Bank and promised to have one lakh in my account by the end of the month. Modeling was easy money, so I did it. When I came to Mumbai, I wanted to buy my dream house within 11 months and I did that. It’s in Juhu and that too from Madhuri Dixit” Deepti Bhatnagar said, as quoted by Hindustan Times:
