Parul Gulati, an actress, model, and entrepreneur is nothing short of a miracle. With a beauty that would make Cleopatra jealous, she is the perfect combination of charm and brains. The word impossible doesn’t seem to exist in her dictionary and her fans believe that she is more than a mere mortal.
Parul has always been a golden child. Her story is an extraordinary memoir of how things fell in place for her. Unlike most of the actors, she never had to struggle or look for work; opportunities came knocking on her door. She was 17 when a modeling agency saw her pictures on facebook and approached her for work. This led to her first trip to the city of dreams Mumbai. Parul did her first car commercial and after that, there was no looking back.

You can drop a Scorpion into her dress while she is acting, Parul would still be as cool as a cucumber.
Parul received a lot of fame and recognition for her “Mann Mein Laddu Phoota” Cadbury commercial. It was naught yet innocent and one of the team members of the film Burraahh saw her, they knew she will be perfect for the role they were looking for. They wasted no time in approaching her and this is how she got her major breakthrough. Again proving she is destiny’s golden child.
