'''Tulip Joshi''' (born 11 September 1979) is an Indian actress who has appeared in [[Hindi]], [[Kannada]], [[Malayalam]] and [[Telugu language|Telugu]] films.

==Early life==
Joshi was born in [[Mumbai]]<ref name=dob>{{cite web

|title=Seasons India :: Tulip Joshi
|accessdate=2006-09-07}}</ref> to a [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] Indian father and [[Armenians|Armenian]] mother, Zabel Joshi (nee Haykian). She was brought up in [[Mumbai]] where she attended the [[Jamnabai Narsee School]], and later Mithibai College from where she graduated majoring food science and chemistry.

Tulip entered the [[Femina Miss India]] in 2000. She did not make it to the list of winners but was noticed by many advertising agencies. She appeared in a number of advertising campaigns for big brands ([[Pond's Creams|Ponds]], [[Pepsi]], Siyaram, [[BPL Group|BPL]], [[Smirnoff]], [[Tata Sky]] mobile TV, etc.). She also appeared in a video made as a tribute to [[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]].

==Film career==
Joshi entered movies quite by chance. She was a friend of the bride of [[Aditya Chopra]], the son of director [[Yash Chopra]]. The family noticed her at their wedding and asked her to appear for an audition, following which they cast her in ''[[Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai]]'' opposite [[Uday Chopra]].
Not being fluent in [[Hindi]], she trained in Hindi diction and in acting at [[Feroz Khan (actor, born 1939)|Feroz Khan]]'s studio. She was also advised by the film-makers to change her name to something more Indian, as audiences might have difficulty in accepting a heroine with such an unconventional name. She chose the name '''Sanjana''', she was playing the character of Anjali in that film. The film was quite a success.<ref name=successful>{{cite web| url = http://planetbollywood.com/Library/thuthd2002.html| title = Thumbs Up Thumbs Down| accessdate = 8 Aug 2003| date = 8 Aug 2003| work = IMDB}}</ref> Despite the good reviews and success, Tulip was panned for her acting.

After a two-year hiatus, she reappeared in ''[[Matrubhoomi]]'' - a dark film about a futuristic world with almost no women. Her performance in it was praised and established her credibility as an actress. The movie ''[[Dhokha]]'' also gave her some recognition.

Reverting to her given name, Joshi next appeared in the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film ''[[Villain (2003 film)|Villain]]''. Her next Hindi movie was ''[[Dil Maange More]]'' with [[Shahid Kapoor]], [[Ayesha Takia]] and [[Soha Ali Khan]]. The film got average reviews, but it was not a box office success.

She appeared in her first Punjabi film in 2009 called ''[[Jag Jeondeyan De Mele]]'', with famous Punjabi singer and actor, [[Harbhajan Maan]]. She again acted with Harbhajan Mann in 2011 in ''Yaara O Dildaara'', the Punjabi movie.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tulip Joshi's double whammy!|url=http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/09/mar/30-tulip-joshis-double-whammy-030914.asp|date=30 March 2009|publisher=glamsham.com|accessdate=20 May 2011}}</ref>

In 2010, she acted in a [[Kannada]] film directed by [[Upendra (actor)|Upendra]] titled ''[[Super (2010 Indian film)|Super]]''. The movie was a superhit in Kannada. This movie is also being dubbed in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sify.com/movies/kannada/review.php?id=14959267&ctid=5&cid=2427 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101210021848/http://sify.com/movies/kannada/review.php?id=14959267&ctid=5&cid=2427 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-12-10 |title=Movie Review:Super: A revolutionary concept |publisher=Sify.com |date= |accessdate=2012-07-23}}</ref>
