Remember Professor Sahastrabuddhe from ‘3 Idiots,’ effortlessly scribbling with both hands? Bollywood’s Angad Bedi lives that superpower daily. As an ambidextrous performer— a trait in merely 1% of humans—he’s redefined versatility, blending athletic heritage with acting finesse.
Delhi-born on February 6, 1983, Angad grew up under the influence of father Bishan Singh Bedi, cricket’s spinning maestro. Early days on the field took him to Under-19 state squads, but paternal expectations stifled his spark. Craving creative freedom, he abandoned cricket for the runway and reels.
His 2004 entry via ‘Kayaa Taran,’ a stark depiction of 1984 riots, was a revelation. Television followed, with charismatic hosting on ‘Emotional Atyachar,’ ‘Cook Na Kaho,’ and cricket specials like ‘Extra Innings T20.’ Films beckoned again in 2011 with ‘Faltu,’ paving way for ‘Ungli’ and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Dear Zindagi.’
The 2016 legal drama ‘Pink’ was transformative—his menacing portrayal stole scenes, earning accolades. Blockbusters like ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ further highlighted his range.
Ambidexterity empowers Angad across domains: seamless action choreography, instinctive gestures, rapid skill acquisition. It’s not learned; it’s wired, amplifying his on-set efficiency.
In 2018, he tied the knot with Neha Dhupia in a low-key wedding; their family now includes a daughter and son. Angad’s mantra resonates: success stems from self-made merit, not sob stories. His trajectory inspires, proving rare gifts plus determination conquer any arena.
