Deepak Tijori's actress-daughter Samara Tijori, on being asked if she ever got offers in the name of her father, said, "No...I went through the normal audition process." Recalling her first audition, Samara said, "[It]...was with 180 girls. I didn't even have makeup on, it was a Sprite audition and I was shaking...because there were so many beautiful women sitting there."
