Deepak Kumar Striker (born 4 June 1995) is an Indian actor who works in Hindi films. He was born to a Hindu Kushwaha family in Kalaua Khurd, a small village in Gaya, Bihar, India. He made his acting debut as Ayyappa Swamy (Lord) in the film *Problem Toh Hai* (2024).
Early And Personal Life
Deepak Kumar Striker had two older siblings and four cousins in his joint family. His father, Anand Dev Prasad, is a farmer, and his mother, Shanti Devi, is a homemaker. His name before going to school was Kanchan Kumar. Because he had two elder brothers, the family wanted a third girl, but since he was not a girl, they started calling him Kanchan lovingly. When the family asked Kanchan to get admission in school, first of all he changed his name with the permission of his family and changed it to Deepak Kumar. From the 1990s to 2000, only a few houses in that small village had a TV, and everyone used to sit together and watch TV. After watching, the Deepak family and the people of the village used to say that it was not possible to go to the film industry. Only rich, big city, and highly educated people could go to the film industry. This is beyond our imagination. Even then, Deepak was determined at the age of 7 and decided in his heart that he had to become an actor and work in the Bollywood film industry and not do any other worldly work. And then Deepak’s own challenge started with himself. Deepak shared his dream only with his cousin brother Bipin Star, who has been supporting Deepak since childhood. Apart from this, Deepak did not share his dream with anyone because Deepak knew that in those days if he told anyone even by mistake that he wanted to work in the film industry, then people would laugh at him, demotivate him, and make fun of him, so Deepak never shared his dream with anyone. In the year 2000, for the first time a black and white TV came to Deepak’s house. At that time, movies were telecast on DD National channel every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Deepak never missed watching any movie. In the year 2003, after watching Shahid Kapoor’s movie *Ishq Vishq Pyar Vyar* and Hrithik Roshan’s movie *Aap Mujhe Achcha Lagne Lage* on the same week, Deepak completely decided that he would become an actor. Shahid Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan are both Deepak’s favorite actors, and he is very impressed by both of them. They are both ideal and inspiration for Deepak. Shahid Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan are both professional dancers. Deepak was inspired by both of them and decided to learn dance first and then continue acting for the rest of his life. Deepak is very motivated and influenced by Shatrughan Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee. As a son of a farmer, apart from studies and sports, Deepak loved to help his family in the fields whenever he got time. Deepak first focused on his studies because studies were the only way to reach his dreams. So, Deepak won the hearts of his family by scoring good marks every year. And after the 10th board, he left his small village and went to Gaya City, in 2010. Before entering Bollywood, Deepak Kumar is a very common name in India, so Deepak added some different title and then in 2013 Deepak added extra surname Striker and the full name became Deepak Kumar Striker. On 3 June 2014, Striker moved to Mumbai. His family had to work hard in the fields to earn money to fulfill his dreams. Even today, whenever Striker visits his home, he loves working in the fields. Deepak Kumar Striker belongs to a Hindu family and has a great interest in God and religion. Eating meat is considered a sin in Hinduism. There are many verses in the Bhagavad Gita regarding non-vegetarian food, in which it is advised not to eat meat. According to Manu Smriti, no creature can survive without meat, so one should stay away from meat. He stopped eating non-vegetarian food from 2024 and became a vegetarian.
