Dipti Thapar
Dipti Dhyani Thapar, actor Sooraj Thapar's wife, shaved her head after promising to donate her hair to Tirupati Balaji while her husband was in ICU last year after testing positive for Covid-19. The actor's health was grave at the time, with 70 per cent of his lungs damaged.
As a result, Dipti Thapar went to temples to pray for her husband's recovery and promised to donate her hair once he recovered from the illness. She posted a photo of her shaven head on social media yesterday, and it has gone viral all over.
Sooraj Thapar recently spoke to Indian Express about his wife's sacrifice and said that he considers himself fortunate to have a partner like her. When his wife told him about her vow, the actor admitted that he was taken aback.
He shared, “I had just come back home from Lilavati when she told me about her pledge. I was shocked and questioned her again and again if she’ll have to shave the whole head. While I was skeptical, Dipti was quite okay with it from the start. For her, getting me back on my feet was a priority. She said my life mattered more to her than her hair.”
He went on to add, “Honestly, I don’t know if I will be ever fine doing this. But she sat at the temple with a smile and just chanted God’s name. It was an emotional moment for both of us but Dipti’s strength overtook everything. She is confidently flaunting her new look and refuses to wear a scarf or band. Also, I must add that she is looking prettier now.”

Cut to reality Only the other day she was full of beans, enacting her parts with gusto. Today Vimmi Jaggi, NSD alumnus, has matured beyond years. The actor who has survived domestic violence not only lives to tell her tale but also make a difference to others. Living in the US for last seven years, this victim of domestic violence is working with South Asian women and making documentary films. Before you jump the gun, let you be reminded, her films are not about domestic violence. The very first Defining America dealt with the problem of immigrants, the cultural shock they experience and their dilemmas. Another film Satrang made for an NGO by the same name looked at the community of transgender, gays and lesbians. And the more recent Apology, screened at the School of Social Work Film Festival at University of South California, is about child sexual abuse. Predictably that leads us to much-acclaimed programme Satyamev Jayate whose second episode too hovered around a similar theme. Smiles Vimmi and says, Undeniably Aamir Khan is doing a great job. In fact, I am so happy at the way India is changing, ready to discuss issues that were brushed under the carpet not too long ago. But what gave her the courage to come out in the open with her predicament? And the smile fades away into a thoughtful look of self-reflection. She states, Only with acceptance comes healing. For a long time I went into a state of depression till I realised the import of Mark Twains words The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself. Actually, her reasons for being forthcoming about her personal condition are no different than the times when she dared to enact out short stories of Sadat Hasan Manto, the no-holds-barred Urdu writer. Indeed, she does miss the wahs wahs, the adulation that her performances elicited. But in the land of opport The Actor's Married Life Has Been A Rollercoaster JourneySanjay Dutt lost his mother, Nargis Dutt, to cancer when he was just a young man. Her death had a lasting effect on him, and it was around this time that the actor began grappling with substance abuse. His addiction to drugs became a well-known issue. His love life, too, was filled with ups and downs, and it was nothing short of dramatic. In 1987, he married actress Richa Sharma, but she tragically passed away in 1996 after battling a brain tumour. Sanjay Dutt's second marriage was to air hostess-turned-model, Rhea Pillai in 1998, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2008. The following year, the actor married Manyata Dutt, who he had been dating for two years. Their marriage was officially registered in Goa in 2008, followed by a traditional Hindu ceremony in Mumbai. His Admiration For An Actress 26 Years Younger Than HimWhile the actor's life was often a subject of intense media attention, he also made headlines for his candid remarks about younger actresses. One such moment occurred in an interview where he was asked about his ideal choice to replace Madhuri Dixit in the iconic 'Choli Ke Peeche' from Khalnayak. Without missing a beat, he revealed his admiration for Deepika Padukone. He apparently said, "Deepika Padukone. She's beautiful. If I were a little younger, she would have been my fourth wife." About Sanjay DuttSanjay Dutt, the son of legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt, was destined for the spotlight.
