YEAR OF THE TIGER
Adarsh Gourav was born in Jamshedpur. He moved to Mumbai in 2007. He was interested in singing and learnt music at Suresh Wadkar’s Ajivasan Music Academy. He was the lead vocalist of Oak Island, a progressive rock band, which was even featurted on MTV Indies. But then My Name Is Khan, where he portrayed the teenaged SRK, happened and the acting bug bit him.
Life is said to be hard for an outsider. Adarsh faced several rejections for every part he landed. Facing the camera once again gave him an all-time high and he wanted to experience it again and again. He’s certainly sad that his debut film didn’t get to see the light of the day but waives it off as a learning experience. “Working in made me realise that acting was the most creatively and mentally satisfying job I’d ever done. I knew then, that this is what I wanted to do,” he reflects. He got to work with Manoj Bajpayee in (2017). Adarsh was praised for his acting in the film that had the father-son bond at its core. He was also seen in where he played Mohit, one of the antagonists. He has also done web series like (2018) and (2019).
