Murli Sharma

Murali Sharma, born August 9, 1972, in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, has pretty much made a home for himself in Indian cinema. The guy’s been around since ’96 and, trust me, you’ve definitely seen his face pop up everywhere—Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, you name it. He’s not one of those “blink and you’ll miss him” types either; Sharma’s done over 130 films. That’s a wild number, right? Dude works hard. What’s funny is, even though he’s played all sorts of characters, people mostly remember him as the cop. Like, if there’s a serious, straight-faced police officer in an Indian movie, chances are it’s Murali Sharma doing his thing. But that’s not all he’s about. He’s super versatile, switching languages and genres like he’s changing shirts. And it’s not just about quantity—he actually brings something fresh, even in those tough authority roles. His roots? Dad’s name is Vrijbhushan Sharma and mom’s Padma Sharma. Pretty regular upbringing as far as we know, but he took that and ran with it, straight into the limelight. Off-screen, his life’s a bit of a film story too—he’s married to Ashwini Kalsekar, another powerhouse from the acting world. They’ve been together since 2009, so that’s some serious staying power. Honestly, Murali Sharma’s one of those actors who just blends into every story, but still leaves a mark. Kind of underrated, if you ask me, but that’s probably why he’s stuck around so long.
