Parul Gulati Hails Her Mother: “She Fought For Me”
Parul Gulati has established herself in various fields like modelling, acting and entrepreneurship. Her next project is going to be Bluetick on the OTT platform Epic On and in the series, she played the role of a content creator. We engaged in a fun conversation with Parul and asked her whether or not her parents needed any convincing when she wanted to pursue a career in modelling. To this Parul Gulati said, “It happens, I guess it happens with every one of us. Small arguments here and there are normal. I had with my mummy all the time. I live with her and sometimes when I show her my dress, she points out mistakes with the colour or something.”

The Bluetick star further recalled the time when she got the opportunity to start her modelling career and spoke about the conversation she had with her parents. Parul said, “It did need convincing. I was 17 when I got selected and that’s how I came to Bombay. That time they were just worried about whether it was safe for me or not. I was just 17 and I did not even have the signing authority, I was not an adult. I told him that I really wanted to do it, and if I saw someone else do it, I might regret it. My mumma fought for me, it took some time but later my father also agreed to it. And I came the next day!”
Talking about her mother, Parul Gulati said, “She also came with me and she never left because my mother loves Bombay and also me.”
Epic On’s new web series Bluetick stars Siddharth Nigam and Parul Gulati in lead roles. It also stars prominent actors like Neeraj Sood, Neelu Kohli and Shreya Gupto. The trailer of the show is here, and it starts streaming on July 19.
