Gul was born January 3, 1979.
She won the Miss India crown in 1999.
She made her debut in 'Dhoop' (2003).
Must-see films of Gul: 'Dor', 'Rann', 'Hello', 'Summer 2007', 'Hello Darling' and 'Manorama Six Feet Under'
Her upcoming movies are 'Turning 30!!!' and 'Alibaug'.
Gul says apart from the physical changes that one experiences, a lot of self-assessment starts poking women in the head at the age of 30.
"The skin starts showing its age, the glow might start fading, the tightness and firmness on the skin starts to feel the change. Expectations begin to hover in a self-assessment procedure and also by your near and dear ones. But the people who are stable in their lives don't really realise much of these things. But the ones who haven't been able to establish themselves go through this phase more than the others," says Gul.
She won the Screen Best Actress in a Supporting Role Award (2007) for her performance in 'Dor'.
Gul is the brand ambassador of Tata Sky.
Gul on her role models: "I adore people who are defiant in their stand and can shun stereotypes. Women who take bold steps and make crucial decisions in life are my favourite set of idols, be it in real life or as literary characters for that matter. I'm more keen to follow rebels with a cause and souls made of sterner stuff."
Gul has won medals in Equestrian events.
Her all time favourite books are A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Gul enjoys adventure and endurance sports such as white water rafting, rock climbing and trekking.
