Deepti naval

Not one to tom-tom her achievements, Deepti Naval has been in some of the most beloved state-of-the-art Hindi films of the 1980s including Vinod Pande’s Ek Baar Phir where Deepti played the neglected wife who goes out to have a roaring extra-marital affair. The two Sai Paranjpye films Chashme Buddoor and Katha made Deepti a household name, though not in the same way as Hema Malini. Deepti never aspired to be Hema Malini. Her selection of roles reflects a deep affinity to neo-realism. Raman Kumar’s Saath Saath was the film that most eloquently typifies Deepti’s aspirations as an actor. The end of idealism and the beginning of compromise sometimes indicate the culmination of many creative pursuits. One such was Raman Kumar's small, slender but immensely large-hearted 1982 film. Saath Saath featured Farooq Sheikh as an idealist whose visions crumble as his wife Deepti Naval watches her husband's dreams turn to dust. It is a genuine work of art comparable with the best coming-of-age end-of-idealism films that came out of the Mumbai film industry between Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Satyakam in 1969 and Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2005. Free-willed intelligent and independent Deepti preferred not to play docile women. But then life doesn’t offer an avant-garde actress many choices. And Deepti sometimes ended up doing regressive roles. In an interview with me in 2003 Deepti had said, “I am a seriously independent woman and I want people to know that. I played the submi...

Draped in a cream-coloured silk sari, hair done up, she is a vision of grace. Deepti Naval carried herself with a certain air, pride and composure on the stage at the Museum of Goa (MOG), where she spoke and read a few verses from her recently released memoir highlighting her formative years in Amritsar. Deepti spoke about her decision to join the film industry and how, when she did so, she never looked back. “Back in the day, no one spoke about cinema or wanting to send their children to the industry, though everyone loved watching it – it was one of the few sources of entertainment. When I joined the industry, I came from America after my father migrated there. Once I finished my college there, I could tell my parents that I wanted to join the films. But at the beginning, growing up in Amritsar, there were no way of bringing up the topic of wanting to join films. We were never given such an environment, wherein we could feel free to express this desire.” But then, fate had its way and Deepti began her career, featuring in films that spoke of the everyday happenings. At a time when Bollywood was beginning its fascination with the ‘hero’ culture, her films were very different. They might have not pulled people to cinema halls, but they’ve surely gone down in the annals of Bollywood’s vibrant history. Being a part of such a rich Bollywood culture, Deepti shared her views about the recently held National Cinema Day and the Rs 75 tickets. “I think if you can slash down prices...

Deepti Naval’s home in Versova in Mumbai is being remodelled, which means that she’s living mostly out of her bedroom these days. This room is also where Naval shut herself away during the coronavirus-induced lockdowns in 2020, completing her memoir The 70-year-old A Country Called Childhood is not a classic autobiography but an intensely remembered chronicle of Naval’s formative years in Amritsar, where she was born and raised. Suffused with poetic passages, humour and vivid descriptions of even mundane events, the book follows Naval’s previous volumes of poetry (including Lamha Lamha and Black Wind and Other Poems and a collection of short stories ( The Mad Tibetan). A Country Called Childhood’s slant is best captured by Naval’s introductory note: “When I started to write about my childhood, I thought of it as not just a regular book where I tell people about all that I lived through. Rather, I wanted to recreate my childhood for the reader. I wanted to take you through those corridors of memory, setting up things the way I remember them. In that sense it is not a typical memoir – it’s is more like a screenplay. This book could simply be titled, ‘Stories from my Childhood’. And it would be apt. Because I feel life is all about stories; that I am the sum total of all the stories that impacted me since I was a little girl, stories from my early days.” Naval covers a great deal of ground: her grandparents, her parents and their individual and joint trajectories, the adventu...

You have been travelling with your latest book A Country Called Childhood to literature festivals all over India. How did it feel to read excerpts from it and talk about it in Amritsar, the city where you spent much of your childhood and where this book is set? Coming to Gobindgarh Fort – this place where we are sitting together right now – is quite special for me. It has a direct connection to my childhood. As children growing up in 1965, when the India-Pakistan War was on, we had never seen this fort though we were living in Amritsar. We had only heard of a man called Raju Topchi at Gobindgarh Fort who was gunning down sabre jets coming from Pakistan. He was our hero. To actually come here, to present my work at The Sacred Amritsar festival, is an experience that I will always cherish. I have been to this fort before because my friend Deepa Sahi has been involved in making it come alive but this visit is even more precious. PREMIUM Actor and author Deepti Naval (Courtesy Aleph) Did you ever see Raju Topchi?No, but he was real for us as children. He was doing what he needed to do. We admired him. 343pp, ₹450; Aleph What else did this trip to Amritsar do for you, at a personal and emotional level? Well, apart from the fort itself, just being in Amritsar at this point of time feels significant. This morning, I drove down to a village called Jalalabad where my paternal grandfather – my Dada ji – lived. He was born and brought up there. A great massacre of Hindus had happened...

To many, she’s still Miss Chamko, the girl-next-door selling detergent in Delhi’s bylanes in the movie Chashme Buddoor (1981). Though over the years, actor-author Deepti Naval has been part of several acclaimed films, the tag, however, has stuck on. But for Naval, there’s more to her work than just acting. And her artistic vision finds presence in her social media posts. Deepti Naval talks about her tryst with art, at a group exhibition in Delhi wherein one of her works was displayed. (Photo: Shantanu Bhattacharya/HT) Naval, who was recently in the Capital to participate in an art show, says, “People only knew me as Miss Chamko for many, many years. That’s such a limiting way of being introduced. On social media, I post and share things that I want people to know. I wanted my fans to know a little more about me. People who liked me have loved my movies, and I wanted them to know that I’m not just an actor, there are other aspects to me that I’d like to share. And they could see other sides to me through my other work... Film ka kaam doesn’t represent me. I represent somebody else’s mind and vision, whether it’s the director or the actor, through my work. I carry to the public what they have in mind. But writing and painting is me.” Dabbling between acting and art, is a cakewalk for Naval who has been part of web series such as Made In Heaven. “It’s not difficult to balance both, as long as your adrenaline is flowing,” she says, adding, “Acting is not a nine to five job. Wh...
