INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Sharad Malhotra’s journey into the world of entertainment began when he was just 20 years old. With a passion for modeling, he achieved significant recognition by winning the coveted title of ‘Face of the Year-Kolkata.’ This early triumph set the stage for a flourishing career in the industry, but it was in 2004 that his life truly took a transformative turn. Sharad won the title of ‘Zee Cinestar Ki Khoj’ from the Kolkata division, a victory that marked his entry into the realm of television acting and paved the way for his future successes.
Eager to hone his craft, Sharad embarked on a four-month break after his first television serial. Unwilling to settle for anything less than excellence, he enrolled at the prestigious New York Film Academy in Los Angeles to sharpen his acting skills. This dedication paid off when he rose to fame portraying “Sagar Pratap Singh” in Zee TV’s acclaimed series ‘Banoo Main Teri Dulhann.’ Notably, his performance as a mentally challenged character won him accolades and endeared him to audiences, establishing him as a versatile and talented actor.
Throughout his illustrious career, Sharad also navigated personal relationships, most notably with his co-star Divyanka Tripathi. Their romance, which lasted for an impressive nine years, ultimately came to a close due to the weight of marriage commitments. Nevertheless, their shared journey on and off screen left an indelible mark on both their lives. In the realm of his professional endeavors, Sharad faced challenges that tested his determination. He auditioned five times for the role of “Maharana Pratap” in the historical drama ‘Bharat Ka Veer Putra – Maharana Pratap.’ After finally securing the role, he dedicated himself to mastering Martial Arts and horse riding, enabling him to perform his own stunts with remarkable authenticity.
Beyond his acting pursuits, Sharad is also a deeply spiritual individual, expressing his devotion to Lord Ganesha, which reflects his cultural roots and personal beliefs. If fate had led him down a different path, he often muses that he would have either become a director or a cricketer—an indication of his diverse interests. Additionally, his passion for sports is evident as he has been an integral part of the “Kolkata Baabu Moshayes” team in the MTV Box Cricket League, showcasing yet another dimension of his multifaceted personality.
Off the screen, Sharad’s love for animals shines through, particularly his affection for dogs. He is a proud owner of a pug named ‘Musky,’ which adds a delightful touch to his life outside of work. With a blend of talent, dedication, and personal warmth, Sharad Malhotra continues to inspire as a remarkable figure in the entertainment industry, embodying the spirit of hard work and passion in every endeavor he undertakes.
