Aditya Srivastava

Born: 21 July 1968

Aditya Srivastava is that guy who's been quietly killing it in Hindi cinema and TV for over three decades. He burst onto the scene in the 90s and became a household name thanks to his iconic role as Senior Inspector Abhijeet in C.I.D., the police procedural that basically defined Indian television for an entire generation. But he's never been just a TV actor—his film credits read like a who's who of cult classics and critically acclaimed projects. From playing complex characters in gritty thrillers like Satya and Black Friday to lending depth to prestige projects like Super 30 and Lakshya, Srivastava has consistently shown up for substantial roles that actually matter. What sets Aditya apart is his versatility and that understated intensity he brings to every character. He's the kind of actor who elevates a scene without stealing it, which is probably why filmmakers keep coming back to him for those crucial supporting roles that anchor entire narratives. Beyond Bollywood, his work in theatre and television has proven he's a proper craftsman, not just a face cashing checks. His recent appearances in films like Dil Se Pooch Kidhar Jana Hai show he's still very much in the game, picking projects that align with his taste for meaningful storytelling rather than just chasing glamour.
