Vishwajeet Pradhan

Vishwajeet Pradhan, born September 11, 1965, in Uttar Pradesh, is kinda one of those faces you’ll recognize even if you can’t place the name right away. He’s popped up in all sorts of stuff over the years, usually playing those roles that stick with you—maybe it’s his intense stare, or maybe it’s just how he can switch from shady to charming in a blink. He’s been around the block in Bollywood, no doubt about it. You might know him best from “Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets” (2005), where the plot’s twistier than a bag of pretzels and he slides right into the chaos like he owns the place. Fast forward a bit, and there he is in “Dhamaka” (2021), a movie that kinda keeps your nerves on edge the whole time. He’s not just a background guy either; his performances actually stick out, giving you something to remember even after the credits roll. Then there’s “Radhe” (2021), which, say what you will about the movie, but Vishwajeet manages to bring some gravitas to his scenes. Off-screen, he’s married to Sonalika Pradhan. They’ve been together for a while, quietly doing their own thing away from all the Bollywood drama. Vishwajeet’s got this career that’s all about variety—thrillers, dramas, you name it, he’s probably done it. He’s not the headline-grabbing superstar, but honestly, movies would be a lot less interesting without guys like him showing up and shaking things up.
