Ravi Khanna

Born: 15 March 1957

Ravi Khanna's journey is the kind that reminds us there's no single path to Bollywood stardom. This Mumbai-based character actor spent over two decades as a journalist with Voice of America before deciding to return to his first love—acting. After cutting his teeth in New Delhi's theater scene during the 1970s, he took a detour through American media, but couldn't stay away from the spotlight for long. His big break came in 2015 with Bajrangi Bhaijaan alongside Salman Khan, proving that sometimes the best comebacks are the ones you didn't see coming. What sets Ravi apart is his versatility and the gravitas he brings to every role—whether it's a pivotal Bollywood film or an English stage production. His work in Tom Stoppard's Indian Ink earned him serious accolades and showcased his range as a performer who can command both Indian and international audiences. Since his return to Mumbai, he's become that actor who elevates every project he touches, bringing a seasoned, worldly sensibility to his characters that reflects his unique background spanning journalism, theater, and cinema. He's proof that in Bollywood, depth and dedication always find their moment.
