​Deepinder's childhood

Deepinder hails from Muktsar, Punjab. It is a very small town, I was in a school where there were around 30 kids. I was not friends with anyone in school.

Suddenly, I ranked third and everyone wanted to be friends with me because my grades increased.

​Deepinder on his stammering issue

When asked about the struggles with stammering, Deepinder said, "The stammering issue is still there. I still stammer, I get conscious and it still makes me nervous. I had to mentally prepare myself to do this as it takes a lot of effort from me. I cannot just straight up have a casual conversation. Calories lagti hain mujhe yeh sab karne mein because I stammer. This has been there since childhood, now I am at a point where 'bro you don't have a choice, so show up and do what you need to do'."

Why does Deepinder avoid public appearances? Deepinder shared, "The only reason why I haven't been having a lot of public appearances or going to events is because of my stammering. I can't do much about it. A lot of it has to do with how calm I am. If I am speaking slowly, I'll be fine, I didn't know that. There are a couple of syllables which I get stuck at, I consciously try to avoid those while I am talking. There are years of practice doing that as well toh bach jaata hoon."
