Sharman Joshi belongs to one of India's best-known Gujarati theatre families; his father Arvind Joshi and sister Mansi Joshi Roy are both long-standing stage and screen actors. He trained in theatre before his Hindi film debut in Style (2001), and went on to Golmaal, Rang De Basanti, Life in a... Metro and Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots, where he played Raju Rastogi.
He has continued across film, streaming and theatre, including Mission Mangal, Kaagaz and State of Siege, while keeping up a regular presence in English and Gujarati stage productions. He is one of the few mainstream Hindi film actors who still performs live theatre as a matter of routine.
His sessions are about the working actor's life: what a theatre foundation gives you on a film set, how to choose roles when the offers are uneven, and what it means to inherit a family profession and make it your own. He speaks in Hindi, English and Gujarati and is relaxed in a fireside format. Annual days, college fests and family-business gatherings get a familiar face with a thoughtful, unhurried story.
