TVF’s new series Aspirants has been garnering positive response from all corners of the country as people are finding it realistic and relatable. The dialogues of the show are a massive hit among the masses now and they have been appreciating the actors for their perfect portrayal of the characters. One of the characters that audiences have been rooting for is Sandeep Bhaiya.

Well, Sandeep Bhaiya’s character is played by Sunny Hinduja who is an engineer-turned-actor. The actor was born in 1990 and has completed his engineering degree from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. With many roles that he has played on screen, he has made a name for himself. But it was in 2010, the actor started his cinematic journey with the movie Shaapit: The Cursed starring Aditya Narayan and Shweta Agarwal. 

In an interview with the Tribune, he was asked to sum up his cinematic journey. To which he responded, “I am from Indore and I have studied in FTII. My batchmates were Raj Kumar Rao, Vijay Verma, and Jaydeep Ahlawat. And I was the first one to get a film in 2006 which was Subhash Ghai’s Cycle Kick. The film was released later. After that, I did a couple of international projects. In between, I did change my focus and started taking good character roles. For me being an actor first is important.” 

Post Shaapit, he played minor roles in several Bollywood movies and television shows like Mardaani 2, Brij Mohan Amar Rahe, Cycle Kick, Kill the Rapist, Pinky Memsaab among others. It was his parents who kept supporting him all this while. In the same interview, he said, “When I was in my seventh standard, I thought of becoming an actor, but never shared this with my parents. After completing my degree in engineering, I told them about my passion for acting. Interestingly my father wanted to join the FTII too, but he couldn’t due to his family commitments. So, their support was always there.” 

The actor received his big breakthrough in 2018 with the Alt Balaji web series Home. From there, he started getting more roles in the digital space. He has played a lot of roles in the digital space for series like Bhaukaal, Chacha Vidhayak Hai Hamare season 2, Ras Bhari, and Mum Bhai.

Interestingly, he was also seen in The Family Man that starred Manoj Bajpayee. He will be reprising his role as Milind in The Family Man 2 as well. 

On the personal front, he walked the aisle with Shinjini Raval in July 2015. 

He has been trying to carve his niche in the industry and it’s time that we support such genuine talent more than those with just famous surnames attached to them.
