Socially and Politically Active
She holds a degree in political science and has a deep interest in social and political issues which is quite evident from her social media feed.
She also contested elections in Chandigarh on behalf of the Aam Aadmi Party in 2014.
Gul and her Guy
Gul is married to her boyfriend of many years, Rishi Atri, who is also a pilot. The adventurous couple arrived at their wedding on a bullet.
The couple are very protective about their private life and when she gave birth to her son after seven years of marriage they kept it under wraps for the longest time and only people only got to know after her son was born. At a time where attention hungry celebrities would go to any length and compromise on their privacy and even pull publicity stunts. Gul’s values are something to be admired.
