Pravessh Rana

Pravessh Rana, yeah, he’s not your average Bollywood import. Born and raised in Baraut, Uttar Pradesh—basically the heart of North India—he’s got that grounded, small-town vibe but somehow ended up rubbing elbows with the heavyweights. If you’ve ever stumbled across Foundation (2021), he’s right there, digging into some sci-fi madness. It’s wild, really, seeing a guy from Baraut in a galaxy far, far away. Not to mention The Serpent (2021), where he’s thrown into the gritty, twisted world of serial killers and 1970s suspense—talk about a full 180 from his roots. And he’s not just about dark and moody roles. There’s Ram Setu (2022), too, where he dives into action-thriller territory. The guy’s got range, no question about it. He’s played cops, criminals, and everything in between, never really sticking to just one lane. Off-screen, Pravessh is married to Scarlett Mellish Wilson—she’s a British model and dancer who’s made her own splash in Indian cinema. Power couple alert, honestly. What’s cool is, Pravessh isn’t one of those overnight sensations. He put in the work, did the reality TV grind, modeled, hustled—basically took the long route to get noticed. There’s something real about that, you know? It shows in the kind of roles he picks—nothing cookie-cutter, always a bit off-center. He’s got this raw energy on screen, like he could snap or start laughing at any moment, and that unpredictability makes him worth watching. If you haven’t seen his stuff, maybe give it a go.
