Talking about Deepika, she made her television debut with Diya Aur Baati Hum, where she played IPS Sandhya Kothari Rathi opposite Anas Rashid. It proved to be a breakthrough in her career.

Following a break, Deepika returned to television in 2019. She played dual roles of Sandhya Patwardhan Jindal and Sakshi Patwardhan Salgaonkar opposite Namik Paul and Vin Rana, in Kavach... Mahashivrati. She also played an advocate in the web series Halala.

Last month, the actress talked about the concept of remarriage. Deepika had told IANS in an exclusive quote: “Playing Mangal has been very close to my heart because, in many ways, I relate to her. Just like Mangal, I am also a mother, a wife, and someone who is balancing her personal life with her career. I know how challenging it can be to wear so many hats, but at the same time, it’s deeply fulfilling.”

“What I love about Mangal is that she doesn’t let her past define her, she chooses to move forward, to embrace new beginnings with Kapil, and remain a strong mother for her children. That is so inspiring, not just as a character, but even for me personally.”

“Through her, I want women to know that it’s okay to start again, to follow your heart, and to take charge of your own happiness without guilt. Mangal is not just an on-screen character ; she’s showing every woman that they can thrive, no matter what life throws at them,” she added.
