Tanuj Anil Virwani – yeah, that’s Rati Agnihotri’s kid – basically grew up in Mumbai, surrounded by all the glitz but somehow not caring about it at all when he was younger. Dude actually wanted to get into real estate like his dad. Wild, right? School days passed at Arya Vidya Mandir and Bombay Scottish, and the movie bug didn’t bite him until he played a tiny part in ‘Merchant of Venice’ back in tenth grade. That’s when stuff started to shift. By the time he hit HR College, he was all in for drama. Instead of just jumping into acting, he took the slow lane – started as a clapper boy on ‘Aao Wish Karein’, then spent over a year assisting on ‘Chance Pe Dance’. He figured out pretty quick that the thrill was in front of the camera, not behind it. So, 2011 rolls around and he starts proper actor training. Big turning point, really. Now, here’s where the rollercoaster begins – B.R. Chopra first signs him for ‘Purani Jeans’, but money troubles nuke the project. Then Kabir Sadanand’s ‘Fugly’ comes along… and that tanks too. Next, Joe Rajan tries launching him in a rom-com with Neha Hinge, but that gets stuck in post-production limbo. Suddenly, luck flips: ‘Purani Jeans’ gets revived, Eros jumps in, and ‘Luv U Soniyo’ actually gets released in 2013. ‘Purani Jeans’ finally drops the next year. By the end of 2014, he’s acting opposite Sunny Leone in ‘One Night Stand’, trying hard to make his mark, and even after the movie flops, critics dig his performance. Since then, he’s bounced around – working with Kamal Haasan, and even popping up in Amazon’s ‘Inside Edge’. Guy’s journey? Nothing if not unpredictable.
You know Rati Agnihotri, right? Total 80s Bollywood icon. Well, her kid has been floating around the industry too, but let’s be honest, that’s no surprise—Bollywood’s full of these acting dynasties. Her son’s got that classic “star kid” vibe, always showing up at movie premieres, sometimes landing a role or two (nothing earth-shattering yet, but hey, the connections run deep). People love to do the whole “look how much he looks like his mom” thing, which is kind of funny because, yeah, the resemblance is wild. He’s still trying to carve out his own space, though. Not easy when your mom’s basically a legend and everyone expects you to be the next big thing by default. Honestly, the jury’s still out on whether he’ll break through or just be famous for being famous, but in Bollywood, that’s basically a career on its own. Nepo babies, am I right?
