Last year she finished shooting for a film, 'Nazar hati durghatna ghati' which is yet to release and is playing lead in another film, 'Rock Band Party.'

"I took up investment banking as I had considered my work in theatre and other shows in the entertainment industry as my hobby,” says Deepti, adding, “When I finished my studies (CA and ICWA), I was placed in a bank. But after one and a half years I realised that this was not what I wanted to do with my life. So, I decided to follow my heart and do what I love doing and make my hobby as my profession."

She adds, "My mom is a great singer, though she hasn’t sung professionally. So, when I developed interest in singing my parents found a teacher for me. I began learning classical music under Guru Usha Tyagi ji at 12. But after completing my studies and bagging a great job, when I told them that I wanted to leave it all and pursue a career in singing, my parents were shocked. Who wouldn’t? I was an MBA and had an amazing job in London. But I knew how to persuade them. After all, it is my mother who always told me, 'whatever you do in your life do it with passion and intensity'."
