Deepal Shaw (born 22 February 1986) is an Indian actress, singer and model who works in Bollywood movies.

Early life

Shaw was born and brought up in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Her maternal and paternal roots originate from Basti near Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. She has a younger brother. As a child, her parents encouraged her to sing, first giving her lessons when she was only seven years old.

She attended St. Xavier's College, where she pursued a BA in Psychology.[1]

Career

Music career

Shaw began her career as a model, taking part in the 2004 Miss India beauty pageant, advancing to the final round before being cut.[2] After this setback, she rededicated herself to striving for success in the Indian entertainment industry as model. She has never sung professionally till now.

She released her first album (entitled Baby Doll, after her adopted stage name) as a model in 2004 at the young age of 16. She followed up her strong debut with Baby Doll Chapter 2, featuring many hit remixes such as "Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar" and "Rangeela Re."

Her music consists mainly of modernized remixes of old Hindi songs, entailing a very bass-heavy sound with some hip hop elements. She is currently on Saregama India Records. MTV India has largely been responsible for promoting her music, by playing her sexy and extremely popular music videos.

Film career

Riding the waves of her burgeoning music career, Shaw decided to parlay her success into a career in Bollywood. She signed on to act in Hriday Shetty's Daag – The Shades of Love. However, the project was shelved shortly thereafter.

She made her acting debut in Mahesh Bhatt's controversial Kalyug, opposite Emraan Hashmi and fellow-newcomer Kunal Khemu, portraying a porn star.

In December 2005, she finished filming on her second venture, Karma, Confessions and Holi, directed by Manish Gupta. The international, English-language film stars Sushmita Sen, Randeep Hooda, and Naomi Campbell, and released in 2009.[3]

She played a news reporter in A Wednesday.
