Actress-turned-CEO explains why she paid employees less. Internet calls out her ‘entitlement.' Who is Parul Gulati?
Actress-turned-entrepreneur Parul Gulati became a laughingstock on the popular subreddit Indian Workplace when she boasted about allowing employees to dine at the same table as her. In an interview, Gulati spoke at length on how she had learned to pay her employees in money rather than do them favours. She admitted that earlier she used to pay less and thought that she would make up for it in other ways. 'Don't do extra favours such as serving them at the same table as you. They are not counted. Pay them the amount they are asking for,' she stated.

Another thought she made a valid point and explained that at the end of the day, employees work for a salary. While it's thoughtful and even admirable to share meals and create a sense of equality at the workplace, those gestures alone aren't enough to retain talent. If another company offers a better financial package, most people will choose to leave, regardless of the camaraderie or shared lunches. When that moment comes, the memory of sharing biryani won't be enough to keep them from moving on. That's essentially the message she was trying to convey—loyalty often follows financial security. Gulati made headlines recently, as she revealed she was cheated by her executive assistant. On July 21, 2025, Parul shared a detailed account on her LinkedIn profile about a troubling experience involving her assistant. In her post, she revealed that the assistant, who had been employed with her for the past year and was responsible for managing communications, running errands, and overseeing financial transactions, had been deceiving her. Due to repeated incidents of misconduct, including theft and major violations of trust, Parul made the decision to end the assistant's employment. She explained that she had noticed frequent disappearances of cash and Nish Hair products, which she later discovered in the unauthorized possession of the assistant, identified as Swara Parekh. Parul further disclosed that Swara had gone as far as sharing her credit card information with an external party, breaching confidentiality and professional ethics. This series of events ultimately led Parul to take firm action and publicly address the matter. Parul Gulati: Actress, Businesswoman, and Brand Face Parul Gulati is a multifaceted Indian talent known for her contributions to acting, modeling, and entrepreneurship. Over the years, she has featured in a variety of television series and Punjabi-language films. Beyond her on-screen presence, she has carved a niche for herself in the beauty industry as the founder and CEO of her own hair extension label, Nish Hair. Her television journey saw a notable moment in 2017 when she appeared in the Hindi TV drama P.O.W. - Bandi Yuddh Ke. A year later, in 2018, she played the character inspired by 'Jo March' in Haq Se, a web series that reimagined Louisa May Alcott's classic novel Little Women in an Indian context. That same year, Parul starred in Selection Day, a Netflix original series adapted from Aravind Adiga's 2016 novel. Her role added depth to this sports drama centered on cricket and family dynamics. Around this time, she also joined the cast of Girls Hostel, a digital series produced by The Viral Fever (TVF) under their Girliyapa banner. The show, which aired from 2018 to 2019, gained popularity for its realistic portrayal of women's lives in college hostels.

India No. 1 in Under-17 girls singles Parul Choudhary of Rajasthan to now focus on junior international badminton tournaments
1 2 Jaipur: There are many firsts associated with Parul Choudhary. The talented Rajasthan girl was the first shuttler from the state to achieve No. 1 national ranking in the U-17 girls singles which helped her break into the national squad last year. The teenage southpaw was also the first from the region to clinch the junior international crown as well as winning two Badminton Association of India-conducted national ranking tournament titles in a season. After a dream run in 2024, Parul now wants to aim bigger and focus on the Under-19 category. The 16-year-old is planning to compete in a series of international tournaments to improve her world rankings. "Now, my focus is shifting towards the U-19 category and international-level competitions. Upcoming tournaments like the Sri Lanka International, Kotak Junior International, and the Junior Grand Prix are my next big targets. With continued dedication and training, I believe I can achieve even greater goals," Parul told TOI on Monday. The Churu girl hogged the limelight when she grabbed the U-19 girls singles title at the Nepal Junior International Series in December 2024. Despite being unseeded, Parul bagged her maiden title by toppling several seeded players on her way to triumph. It was only the second international tournament for Parul. In August last year, Parul was picked in the Indian team for the Badminton Asia (U-15, U-17) Junior Championships held in China. A couple of international exposures has boosted her confidence a great deal and made her believe that she is now ready for the greener pastures. "Hard work, consistent practice, and the belief of my loved ones have brought me here. I'm proud to share that I have won several state and national-level tournaments in the last couple of years and became India's No. 1 in the U-17 girls singles section," said Parul, who trains under coach Manish Sharma in Gurgaon. Besides her coach, Parul is grateful for the continuous support she gets from her family members and sponsors. "This journey wouldn't have been possible without the support of my coach, OGQ, and my family, who have constantly guided and encouraged me. I want to achieve more glory so that I can make Rajasthan and the country proud with my performance in the coming years," added Parul.

Chandigarh: 3 yrs after wife's murder, PU professor, his daughter to undergo brain-mapping test
Over three years after the murder of a Panjab University professor's wife, the Chandigarh Police are now turning to advanced forensic techniques for a breakthrough. Investigators plan to conduct a brain electrical oscillation signature (BEOS) profiling of Professor BB Goyal and his daughter Parul at the National Forensic Sciences University in Rohini, Delhi, as part of the ongoing probe. On the morning of November 4, 2021 (Diwali), Seema Goyal, 60, was found dead in a ground-floor bedroom of her family's official accommodation on PU campus in Sector 14, Chandigarh. (HT File) Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature (BEOS) profiling is a neuropsychological forensic technique used to detect whether a person has experiential knowledge related to a crime. Unlike polygraph tests that monitor physiological responses like heart rate and sweat, BEOS relies on brain activity alone, recorded through electrodes attached to the scalp (EEG). The test is based on the idea that if someone has committed or witnessed a crime, their brain will recognise and respond to specific crime-related details, even if they don't speak. In March this year, the Chandigarh Police had the victim's daughter, Parul, undergo a forensic psychological assessment at the forensics varsity in Rohini. The report is still awaited. Earlier, both Parul and her father, Professor BB Goyal, had undergone polygraph tests as part of the investigation. On the morning of November 4, 2021 (Diwali), Seema Goyal, 60, was found dead in a ground-floor bedroom of her family's official accommodation on PU campus in Sector 14, Chandigarh. Her husband, Prof BB Goyal, discovered her around 7.30 am after being alerted by the milkman, only to find the main door locked from outside. Her hands and legs were tied with cloth. Prof Goyal had explained that he had slept upstairs and their daughter Parul had been away at a friend's place. Police recorded both Goyal's and their daughter's statements by November 7. The post-mortem examination revealed five to seven injuries on the victim's body, indicating signs of a struggle. It concluded that she was strangulated, and the cause of death was 'asphyxia.' Investigators suspect a pillow may have been used to suffocate her. Notably, no fingerprints or DNA evidence were recovered from the crime scene. Investigators found no signs of forced entry; however, the mesh panels on the bedroom and kitchen doors had been removed, indicating the possibility of entry through internal door bolts. His statements were repeatedly cross-checked, as police suspected an inside job given no signs of forced entry. His brother-in-law noted the couple had strained relations and urged thorough questioning of the husband. CCTV footage did not capture anyone entering or leaving the house. Seema's mobile phone is missing; its call logs showed it hadn't left the campus area. Based on the forensic report, which concluded that the mesh had been removed from inside, the police began suspecting an insider's role and subsequently sought permission to conduct a narco test on the victim's husband. On December 7, 2021, Chandigarh police moved court to administer a narco analysis test on Prof Goyal, as forensic evidence was inconclusive and an insider's role was suspected. In March 2022, doctors at Gandhinagar's forensic lab declared Prof Goyal unfit for narco test on health grounds. On August 1, 2022, the Punjab and Haryana high court asked Chandigarh Police to submit a fresh status report, after Seema's brother petitioned for an independent investigation. In his plea, the victim's brother alleged she was constantly abused, shamed and degraded for being a Christian and till her death, she was constantly harassed physically and emotionally. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. Why no arrest in the case? No fingerprints, DNA, or even a single hair strand of a perpetrator at the crime scene No signs of forced entry, and no weapon was recovered. The mesh panels of the bedroom and kitchen doors were found cut from the inside, contradicting the family's claim that an outsider broke in. The case relied heavily on forensic reports (including CFSL analysis, psychological assessments, polygraph tests, etc.), which took time Results from the earlier polygraph tests led police to conduct another forensic psychological assessment of the daughter in March this year, but with the report still awaited, police have found nothing conclusive to warrant an arrest.
