The married life of both (Deepak Tijori marriage) has always been a mystery, but there was a big twist in this relationship, which shook Deepak's life. One day suddenly, Deepak came to know that the woman with whom he had been living for 20 years was not legally his wife.

How was this revealed? (Deepak Tijori interesting facts)

There was a rift between Deepak Tijori and Shivani Taneja for the last few years. There were frequent fights between the two, and during this time Shivani filed a divorce case against Deepak. During the divorce process, it was shockingly revealed that Shivani Taneja was not legally married to Deepak.

 Because Shivani's marriage was already registered with someone else, Deepak's lawyer found during the investigation that Shivani's first marriage was still legally valid, and she had not divorced her first husband. Deepak was shocked to know this. He could not believe that the woman whom he had been living with for 20 years, considering her his wife, was not his legal wife at all.

How serious did the situation become for Deepak Tijori? (Deepak Tijori case)

This revelation not only left Deepak Tijori emotionally shaken, but also put a question mark on his legal rights. After filing a case against Shivani, Deepak had to face a long legal battle to protect his relationship and his rights.
Deepak said in his statement that he had always believed Shivani and supported her as his wife, but after this revelation, he felt cheated. He said, "I never imagined that something like this would happen in my life. I believed that Shivani was my wife, and we spent so many years together. But it was all a fraud."

 Shivani Taneja has also given her clarification in this matter. She says that she spent 20 years with Deepak and there was a deep relationship between the two. She told that her first marriage was a mistake, and she had tried to end it but the matter was not settled legally yet. Shivani says that Deepak was aware of this situation, but both of them had decided to keep their relationship. She accused Deepak that he is now trying to spoil her image by highlighting this issue.

Days of Struggle (Deepak Tijori struggle story)

After college, he faced reality. It was not easy to enter films without any identity. The financial condition of the house was not good, so Deepak worked at the front desk of a hotel in Bandra at night and visited producers and studios during the day. This was the most difficult and educational period of his life. Gradually, he started getting small modelling assignments. His luck took a turn when he got a chance to meet Mahesh Bhatt through actor Avtar Gill. From here, he got a small but effective role of a friend in the film Aashiqui (1990). After this, he made his mark as a co-actor in hit films like Sadak, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Khiladi, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, and Anjaam.

Trying to be the lead hero

In 1993, Deepak was launched as a hero in the film Pehla Nasha. Stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan also had guest appearances in the film, but the film flopped. This shattered his dream of becoming a hero, but he did not give up.

Direction and TV Career (Deepak Tijori TV Career)

Along with acting, Deepak also took up direction. He started his directing career with Oops! (2003). The bold subject of the film was misrepresented, and it was given an adult tag. After this, he directed films like Tom Dick and Harry, Khamoshi: Khauf Ki Ek Raat, and Fox. However, these did not do well at the box office. He also ventured into TV and produced popular shows like Saturday Suspense, Thriller at 1,0 Fareb, and Dial 100. These shows were liked by the audience and won awards too, but after the growing trend of saas-bahu serials, he distanced himself from TV.
