Sumit Gulati

Sumit Gulati, born on May 8, 1990, in Delhi, is that guy you’ve spotted in more movies than you might realize. He’s got this knack for slipping into roles so seamlessly, you forget you’re watching an actor at work. Seriously, if you’ve seen Talvar (2015), you probably remember that jittery energy he brought to his scenes—he was right at the heart of that murder mystery, tangled up with the cops and the family drama. Hindi Medium (2017) though, that’s where his comic timing just pops. Playing the friend who tries to help the lead couple break into Delhi’s elite school circuit, he basically steals every scene he’s in. There’s a casual, everyday-guy vibe about him, but he just lights up the screen every single time. And yeah, let’s not forget Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013). Sure, it was a Farhan Akhtar show all the way, but Sumit managed to squeeze in some real moments—like, blink and you might miss him, but he’s there, adding those little flavors that make the background feel so real. He’s not one of those flashy, headline-grabbing stars yet, but anyone paying attention knows this dude’s got range. Whether it’s drama, comedy, or something in between, he’s always believable, and honestly, it’s about time more people caught on to how good he is. Delhi’s got a lot to be proud of with this one.
