This actor’s journey to stardom is a story of determination and perseverance. After losing his father at a young age, he moved to Mumbai with one dream — to become an actor. His early career saw him face a major setback when his debut film, despite months of hard work, was shelved. Rather than giving up, he rebuilt his career, and soon landed crucial roles. Today, he’s not only a celebrated actor but also a sensation on OTT. The actor is Rohit Saraf.
The actor and his acting career
Rohit Saraf began his career with Channel V’s Best Friends Forever? and made his film debut as the younger brother of Alia Bhatt’s character, Kiddo, in Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi. Later, he also starred in Hichki, alongside Rani Mukerji, and in the biographical drama, The Sky Is Pink, alongside Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar. In 2020, he appeared alongside an ensemble cast in Anurag Basu’s black comedy Ludo, including Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra. In 2020, he was seen alongside Prajakta Koli in the Netflix romantic drama series Mismatched. In 2022, he was seen in Vikram Vedha as the younger brother of Hrithik Roshan’s character.
How did the actor become the ‘national crush’
Rohit Saraf was ranked #39 in The Times Most Desirable Men in 2020. His portrayal in Netflix’s Mismatched as Rishi Singh Sekhawat earned him widespread fame, with the audience dubbing him the ‘national crush’. In an old interview, the actor talked about receiving extra attention from female fans. He said, “I don’t want to disregard and call any effort strange. But I did get a little freaked out when a fan came up to me and showed me that she had my name tattooed on her hand. I got really freaked out.”
The actor was born in 1996 in Kathmandu, Nepal. Later, he moved to Delhi with his family, and he moved to Mumbai to pursue his acting career. He completed his early education at the Saint Francis D’Assisi High School, Mumbai. The actor will be seen next in Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life and in Karan Johar’s romantic comedy, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
