Meet Dharmendra's daughter-in-law Deepti Bhatnagar — once the famous face of hit show 'Musafir Hoon Yaaron'

As Dharmendra prepares to celebrate his 90th birthday, attention is turning to his talented daughter-in-law, Deepti Bhatnagar. From modelling to acting, and now to travel vlogging, Deepti's journey is a testament to her adventurous spirit and passion for exploration.

Early life and modeling success

Born in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Deepti's life took a dramatic turn when she won the Miss India pageant at just 18. Her modelling career took off, and she landed several major advertising campaigns, becoming a household name.

A brief stint in acting

Deepti's acting career began with Sanjay Gupta's Ram Shastra (1995), followed by notable roles in Pelli Sandadi (1996) and Dharma Chakkaram (1997). She even starred in the Hollywood spy thriller Inferno (1997). However, she soon realised that acting wasn't her true calling.

Joining the Deol family

Deepti married Randeep Arya, son of Dharmendra's cousin Veerendra, and became part of the Deol clan. They have two sons, Shubh and Shiv.

Musafir Hoon Yaaron

In 2001, Deepti and her husband launched their own production house, creating breakthrough travel programs Yatra and Musafir Hoon Yaaron. These shows took her to nearly 90 countries, often with her children by her side.

Her work effectively laid the foundation for Indian travel television, long before social-media creators took over the genre.

Travel Vlogging and YouTube

Today, Deepti is a successful travel vlogger and YouTuber, sharing her experiences and insights with her audience. Her videos focus on culture, family travel, luxury experiences and hidden gems.
