'BUT I AM NOT TAKING ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.'
Sharman Joshi has had a rollercoaster of a career ever since he first burst onto the scene in N Chandra’s Style in 2001.
He then appeared in a string of roles that range from impressive to disregarded to passable, including in Shaadi No 1 (2005), Golmaal (2006), Sorry Bhai! (2008), Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012), Hate Story 3 (2015) and Mission Mangal (2019).
Critical acclaim came his way after he played a disgruntled engineering student in the 2009 blockbuster 3 Idiots.
Besides his Hindi film career, the actor keeps himself busy in Gujarati theatre which helps him to “improve the craft”.
Sharman was recently seen playing an intense role in Director Sahil Sangha’s drama Web series, Kafas, where he plays a father who chooses to remain silent after knowing about his teenage son’s sexual abuse the actor unpacks his experience of working in the film industry, as he says, “The highs and lows are too sharp and sudden. Actors have to take care of their emotional health. Being patient is very critical in this profession.”
How did you become Raghav, this morally conflicted father, in Kafas?
The script is my Bible, Quran, Gita, or whatever you call it. It has all the information I need to prepare for the role.
