Pratik Gandhi, man, what a wild journey he’s had. Born in Surat, right? Both parents were teachers, so you can imagine, books everywhere, probably not a lot of TV time growing up. But even then, he was sneaking off to do theatre gigs while still in school. Dude went on to get an engineering degree from Jalgaon—Industrial Engineering at that—and then jumped into the big bad world of Reliance Industries as a regular 9-to-5 engineer. But here’s the kicker: as soon as the day job was done, he’d bolt to the theatre for rehearsals. Hustle, much? He had stints with National Productivity Council in Satara and Pune, bounced over to a multinational in Mumbai, so he’s seen it all, man. Somewhere in the mix, he met Bhamini Oza, a fellow actor—probably exchanged lines and fell in love. They tied the knot in 2009, and, boom, their daughter Miraya arrived in 2014. Family guy, but still grinding away on stage. Now, his big break? The play Aa Paar Ke Pele Paar with some Gujarati theatre legends—total hit. After that, he kept landing killer roles, even got to work with Manoj Shah. The film Bey Yaar in 2014? Smashed it at the box office and critics loved it. Did a bunch of memorable plays, even made it to the Limca Book of Records for doing a monologue in three languages in one day. Then came Wrong Side Raju, won a National Award, and finally—Scam 1992. Played Harshad Mehta and, honestly, the whole country sat up and took notice. From engineer to breakout star—talk about living multiple lives.
Pratik Gandhi grew up in Surat, Gujarat, with both his mom and dad working as teachers, so you can imagine education was a pretty big deal in his house. Moving from classrooms to camera lights, he didn’t just stumble into acting—it’s like something he chased with everything he had. Before the whole fame thing kicked in, he actually worked as an engineer, juggling numbers and deadlines by day and chasing his passion for theater by night. Honestly, it’s wild to think about him crunching numbers in the office, then transforming into a powerhouse on stage after hours. His roots in Gujarat? You can totally see it in the roles he picks—there’s this raw authenticity he brings, like he’s pulling pieces of real life into every performance. And, yeah, you get the sense that growing up surrounded by books and lessons probably shaped the grounded way he approaches everything, from scripts to life in general.
