Parul Gulati
Verified Macro Creator — Acting & FounderActor, and founder of Nish Hair
Spotted on Facebook, cast on a hunch, trained at RADA — and now running four brands. Parul Gulati acts in Girls Hostel and Silence 2, and founded the hair-extensions company she took to Shark Tank India.
About Parul Gulati
Parul Gulati was found on Facebook. The makers of a television show came across her profile, invited her to Mumbai for an audition, and cast her in Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam as Bittan — the younger sister of the character Yami Gautam was playing. That was 2010, and she was a girl from Rohtak, Haryana, with no film connections and no plan. What she did next is the part that explains the rest of her career. After her Punjabi film debut in Burrraahh in 2013 she stopped, took a year out, and went to London to study at RADA — the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art — then came back and did theatre in Mumbai. Romeo Ranjha followed in 2014, Zorawar opposite Yo Yo Honey Singh in 2016, and a Telugu debut the same year in Nee Jathaleka. Television proper came in 2017 with Nikkhil Advani's P.O.W. – Bandi Yuddh Ke on Star Plus, where she played Afreen, a Pakistani woman married to a prisoner of war — a role that got her the first real critical attention of her career. In 2018 she was Jannat Mirza in Haq Se, Ken Ghosh's adaptation of Little Women relocated to Kashmir, playing the Jo March part. The same year brought Netflix's Selection Day, adapted from Aravind Adiga's novel, and Zahira Ali in Girls Hostel for TVF's Girliyapa — the show that ran to a third season and put her in front of a young streaming audience for good. Then came Hey Prabhu!, The Raikar Case, Illegal, Your Honor, and in 2023 Amber in the second season of Made in Heaven. Her Hindi film debut arrived in 2024 with Silence 2 alongside Manoj Bajpayee and Prachi Desai; Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 with Kapil Sharma followed in 2025, and Tu Yaa Main, in which she plays Layla, in 2026. She is also a contestant on The Traitors India. The other half of the story has nothing to do with acting. Gulati founded Nish Hair, a brand selling 100% human hair extensions, toppers and wigs — a business that started from her own hair problem and grew into a company she took onto Shark Tank India's second season in 2023 to pitch to the panel. Her Instagram bio now lists four ventures she calls herself the 'Malkin' of: Nish Hair, Evil Eye Jewel, Malkin Hostel and NH Degree 6. That account, @gulati06, has 1.7 million followers across 3,522 posts, and the description she gives herself there is characteristically flat: 'Actor: Pretending to be someone else.' Note: no reliably sourced date of birth exists for Gulati — English Wikipedia lists her year of birth as missing — so this profile leaves the field blank rather than repeat a figure from unverified celebrity-biography sites.
