Who is Prerna Gill?
Prerna Gill is the daughter of Vijeta Gill, Dharmendra’s second daughter. Unlike many star kids who step into Bollywood, Prerna chose the written word over the camera lens. Based in Delhi, she has built an impressive reputation as a writer and editor, earning praise for her evocative storytelling and lyrical voice.
Her literary journey began in 2015 with her debut book, and since then, she has authored four acclaimed works, as reported by TOI. Her latest poetry collection, named “Meanwhile”, released in January 2025, beautifully captures themes of time, love, and introspection
Though she’s away from the film spotlight, Prerna shares a close relationship with the Deol family. She has often graced family gatherings, and even both Sunny and Bobby have publicly supported her books.
Life beyond the books
Off the page, Prerna enjoys a happy life with her husband, Pulkit Devda, a Delhi-based lawyer. The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, share a love for travel, art, and literature. Her social media is a blend of rare family moments, poetry snippets, and glimpses of her quiet yet inspiring world.
