Sooraj Pancholi—yeah, that guy, born July 5th, 1990, hailing from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. He’s got this whole Bollywood vibe going, not just as an actor but he’s done his time as an assistant director too. Took his first big swing at leading man status with “Hero” back in 2015, and honestly, that movie was hyped to the max. Think classic Bollywood melodrama: action, romance, a splash of family drama, and some solid dance numbers. They pretty much threw everything into that one. Before he was front and center, Sooraj was hustling behind the scenes on “Ek Tha Tiger” (2012) —which, let’s be real, was a massive Salman Khan spy flick. So, Sooraj got to soak in all that big-budget madness, probably picking up some tricks from the pros. Fast forward a bit, and you’ve got him popping up in “Time to Dance” (2021). Now, that one’s more of a dance-romance mashup—two left feet need not apply. It’s got the whole underdog thing going, with Sooraj playing a street-smart dancer who gets tangled up with a ballroom queen. Cue the drama, the dance-offs, and a bunch of heart-tugging moments. Bollywood loves a good dance sequence, and this one doesn’t disappoint if you’re into that sort of thing. If you’re tracking his career, he’s definitely carved a niche—maybe not blockbuster territory yet, but he’s got that fresh energy. Bollywood’s always hungry for new blood, and Sooraj’s trying to make his mark, one film at a time.
Uncle Anand Pancholy? Yeah, that's the guy running Indian Summer, this killer Indian restaurant down in Durban, South Africa—trust me, the food’s unreal. He’s not just a random restaurateur though; he’s actually the younger brother of Aditya Pancholi. That family’s got some serious talent going on. While Aditya’s been making waves in the movie world, Anand’s been holding it down in the food scene. Indian Summer’s kind of a hotspot for both locals and tourists—imagine rich curries, fluffy naan, the whole shebang. People say you can catch all sorts of Bollywood chatter in there, probably ‘cause of Anand’s connections. It’s got that vibe where you feel like you might spot a celeb at the next table. And honestly, if you’re ever in Durban and craving legit Indian food, this is the spot you wanna hit up. The Pancholy brothers, man, both making their mark in totally different worlds.
