In the late 1980s, women’s hearts would be set aflutter whenever a Vimal Summer Sensations advertisement appeared on their television screens. Renowned model Deepak Malhotra, who was the face of the campaign, was the reason behind the rising heat in the country. Deepak had it all—a chiselled face, effortless charm, and dapper style. The Aramusk soap advertisements even revealed his Greek God-like physique.
Unsurprisingly, he became one of the most coveted men in the modelling world. Brands from Kwality to Garware Video Cassette were cashing in on his charisma. But far from becoming a legend, the name Deepak Malhotra seems to have been relegated to the deepest recesses of memory for those who recall the 90s. However, the question arises: what did Deepak do that changed his destiny from the big star to the forgotten one? So, without any further delay, let’s retrace his short-lived stint in Bollywood and how it left his career in shambles.
