SPECIAL
An actor, activist, animal lover, adrenaline junkie, adventurer, avid traveler, biker and techno-savvy. Gul Panag talks to Tulip about her life beyond Bollywood, what she loves to do the most and the changes, she would wish to see in the Indian society…
Journey to the entertainment industry – It has been a wonderful journey so far. Before stepping in Bollywood, I was just another girl with ambitions to make it big and do something which I always wished to. Before stepping in Bollywood, I was an ordinary college student, participating often in extra-curricular activities. As a student, I was always interested in sports and public speaking.
Gul Panag as an individual – I am glad that I have a life, I always dreamed of. Beyond Bollywood, it’s a different life altogether with sheer passion towards travelling, automobiles and gadgets.
Movie which you enjoyed acting in, the most – I love what I do. I think every movie I acted in, will remain special in many ways than one. It’s always a combination of all the movies I did in the past, which helped me reach to a position where I am now in the film industry. Everyone has been extremely supportive and encouraging over the last decade. If you ask me to pick up one movie, that changed my life, then I would choose – ‘Turning 30.’
