Great granddaughter of legendary filmmaker Bimal Roy and granddaughter of directors Rinke and Basu Bhattacharya, Drisha Acharya is the new daughter-in-law of the 'Deol family' with 3 MPs and 7 film stars!

...And once again the shehnai of marriage has rung in the Deol family! This time the elder daughter-in-law of the famous evergreen actor Dharmendra has been welcomed in the house. Yes, you heard it right! Dharmendra's elder daughter-in-law ie- Pooja Sunny Deol's elder daughter-in-law ie- Karan Deol's wife has entered the house as Lakshmi. This is the new daughter-in-law of Bollywood's famous 'Deol-family' - Drisha Roy Acharya Deol!

Drisha Acharya (Instagram) does not act in films but she definitely has a deep connection with the film family. She is Karan Deol's childhood friend, whom Karan's father Sunny Deol himself had recommended to his father Dharmendra to bring into the house as a daughter-in-law. The occasion assumes even more significance in the Deol family as Dharmendra, along with his first wife Prakash Kaur, happily welcomes the third-generation daughter-in-law 'Natoh' (Great Grand Doctor) to the house.

Drisha has no direct involvement in the film world, but when her new bridegroom Karan Deol was shooting for his first debut film 'Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas' in Shimla- Himachal, the heroine in front of the camera was Seher Bamba, but behind the camera, Karan's eyes were fixed on Drisha - who was always with him. The film's director and Hero's father Sunny Deol had thought that the time had come to bring the daughter-in-law home.Drisha Acharya works as Professional Program Manager at BCD Travel Company in Dubai. Karan's friendship with this 32-year-old girl was deep for the last six years, whom the Deol family has accepted as a new member of the family by tying the knot on June 18. Drisha, who took her early education in Mumbai, did her further studies at Jumeirah College in Dubai, then completed her graduation at York University, Toronto, Ontario. His parents live in Dubai only. Drisha's father Sumit Acharya is a Dubai-based corporate executive and her mother Chimu Acharya is a wedding planner. Drisha also has a brother.

An introduction of Drisha that few people know is that she is the 'par navasi' (great granddaughter) of famous filmmaker Bimal Roy who is the founding figure of the Bollywood film industry. Bimal Roy made classic films like 'Do Bigha Zameen', 'Madhumati' 'Sujata', 'Devdas' 'Bandini' when stars like Dharmendra used to go to him to get work. Today Dharmendra is his relative. Bimal Roy's daughter Rinkee Roy married the once-famous director Basu Bhattacharya and became Rinkee Bhattacharya. She is an author, columnist and documentary filmmaker. Rinke and Basu Bhattacharya have two daughters, Chimu and Anvesha, and a son, Aditya Bhattacharya (film director). Chimu Bhattacharya married Dubai businessman Sumit Acharya and became Chimu Acharya. These people started living in Dubai. Karan's wife Drisha Acharya is the daughter of Chimu and Sumit Acharya. In this way, Bimal Roy was the maternal grandfather and Rinki Bhattacharya and Basu Bhattacharya were maternal grandparents. Her maternal uncle is also a film director while Drisha never took an interest in acting. Perhaps Drisha never thought of becoming the daughter-in-law of Bollywood's famous Deol family by marrying Karan, a childhood acquaintance who later became a close friend.Truly the name of 'Deol family' is one of the elite families of the film industry who never flaunt their achievements. Believe in working quietly. Who does not know that there are 7 star actors in this family (Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Abhay Deol, Esha Deol, Karan Deol) and now the 8th star Dharam Singh Deol (Bobby Deol's son -whose name is Dadaji K has been named after itself) is in preparations to appear on the screen. This family is from films but people have given them love in politics as well. Sunny Deval is the Member of Parliament (Member of Parliament) from Gurdaspur in Punjab. Hema Malini is a second consecutive Member of Parliament from Mathura (U.P.) and has been a Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha from Karnataka. Dharmendra, an artist of simple personality, was also elected as MP by the people of Bikaner in 2004. Means- Drisha Roy Acharya Deol is the new daughter-in-law of the Deol family with 3 MPs and 7 film stars! Welcome Drisha-Karan from the readers of Mayapuri!
