Early Life And Education

Pulkit Samrat is an Indian actor who was born on December 29, 1983, in Delhi, India. He was born to Sunil Samrat and Deepa Samrat and has a sibling named Ullas Samrat. Samrat attended Manav Sthali School for his early education and later graduated from Montfort Senior Secondary School in Ashok Vihar, Delhi.

He initially enrolled in an advertising course at the Apeejay Institute of Design in Delhi, but after five months, he received a modeling assignment and decided to quit his studies. After that, Samrat moved to Mumbai, where he joined an acting course by Kishore Namit Kapoor. He is of Punjabi ethnicity and practices Hinduism as his religion.

Career

Pulkit Samrat moved to Mumbai in 2005 and made his acting debut in 2006 with the long-running television show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. In it, he portrayed Laksh Virani opposite Mouni Roy and Tia Bajpai.

This role earned him recognition, and he won the Indian Telly Award for Fresh New Face – Male for his performance. Samrat quit the show in 2007, and in 2008 appeared as a contestant on Kaho Na Yaar Hai with Roy, marking his final television appearance.

In 2011, Samrat appeared as the lead in choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant’s musical theatrical Taj Express. He made his film debut the following year with the romantic comedy Bittoo Boss, in which he played the role of a wedding videographer from Punjab alongside Amita Pathak.

The Times of India noted that while his character was reminiscent of Ranveer Singh, Samrat pulled off the “small-town-munda act with sincerity and a natural ease.”

Samrat‘s breakout role came in 2013 when he played Hunny in the ensemble comedy film Fukrey opposite Priya Anand. The film emerged as a sleeper hit, with Anupama Chopra praising Samrat’s portrayal of the “over-confident charmer.”

In 2014, he had his highest-grossing release with the action film Jai Ho, where he played a police inspector. However, this success was followed by a string of failures, including Dolly Ki Doli (2015) and Sanam Re (2016), causing a setback in his career.

Samrat later received praise for his performances in Fukrey Returns (2017), 3 Storeys (2018) and Taish (2020). His only release in 2019 was Pagalpanti, but his performance was criticized. In 2021, he starred in the trilingual film Kaadan, portraying Shankar in the Hindi version, which received negative reviews.

Upcoming, Samrat will appear in the third installment of Fukrey, Fukrey 3, and Suswagatam Khushamadeed opposite Isabelle Kaif. In addition to his acting work, Samrat is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products, including Coca-Cola, Bella Vita Organic, and Pebble watches.
