But unlike her predecessors she never eyed a glamourous debut and till date the beauty from Delhi enjoys playing characters of substance.

Reality check

Don’t go by Gul Panag’s onscreen persona. Granted you saw her as a plain Jane Himachali in Dor and are poised see her in an even more deglamourised avatar in Manorama Six Feet Under, but in real life, the former model is rather urbane. And tech-savvy; she was one of the first actors to have a web site, gulpanag.net, of her own. This cyber space reveals much more about this…
