Deepak Tijori, a familiar face from 90s Bollywood films, is making headlines again, but for a whole new reason. He’s been quietly sweeping up “Best Actor” awards across various international film festivals. In fact, he’s won this prestigious title seven times for the same short film.
His latest win came from the Berlin Shorts Awards, where he was honored as Best Actor for his role in ‘Echoes of Us.’ This makes it his seventh such accolade. Just a week before, he received the same recognition at the Barcelona International Film Festival. The film has also been a hit at festivals in Los Angeles, Austin, India, and East Africa, where Tijori also snagged the Best Actor award.
Who Else Stars in ‘Echoes of Us’?
The short film ‘Echoes of Us’ was directed by Joe Rajan. Alongside Deepak Tijori, the movie features Yulia Vantur and Spanish actress Alessandra Whelan Merediz in key roles. Yulia Vantur is often talked about as Salman Khan’s rumored girlfriend. However, neither of them has ever publicly confirmed their relationship.
Deepak Tijori has quite a history in Bollywood. He was a popular actor in the 1990s, appearing in memorable films like ‘Aashiqui,’ ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar,’ and ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.’ These days, he’s not just acting; he’s also making a name for himself as a director. He has directed several films, with ‘Do Lafzon Ki Kahani’ being one that garnered a lot of attention.
