Early Life and Education

Growing up in a multicultural household with two sisters, Selphi Joshi and Monalisa Bedi (married to Bollywood actor Rajat Bedi), she was exposed to both Hinduism and Christianity, having been baptized as a Christian.

She completed her schooling at Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai and graduated from Vivek College (Mithibai College) with a degree in Food Science and Chemistry.

Career

Tulip Joshi, a former actress and businesswoman, launched her career in 2000 by participating in the Femina Miss India contest, where, although she did not win, her charm caught the attention of advertising agencies.

She appeared in high-profile commercials for brands such as Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Smirnoff, Ponds, and Tata Sky. She featured in a tribute music video for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, titled “Tere Bin Nahi Lagda Dil Mera Dholna.”

Her Bollywood debut came in 2002 with Yash Raj Films’ Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, where she played Anjali under the stage name Sanjana, spotted by Yash Chopra at his son Aditya’s wedding reception. Though the film was a moderate success, her performance received mixed reviews.

Facing familial disapproval of her acting career, which led to a year-long depression, she persevered, starring in the Telugu film Villain (2003) and the critically acclaimed Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2005), which won over ten festival awards and earned her praise for portraying a woman in a dystopian society.

Her role as a suicide bomber in Dhokha (2007) further showcased her versatility. Tulip expanded into regional cinema, starring in Punjabi films such as Jag Jeondeyan De Mele (2009) and Yaara O Dildaara (2011), alongside Harbhajan Mann, as well as the Kannada blockbuster Super (2010), directed by Upendra. Her last notable role was a cameo in Jai Ho (2014).

Since 2015, she has shifted focus to entrepreneurship, serving as a director at Kimmaya Consulting Pvt. Ltd., her husband’s firm.
