Every year, many artists try to make their mark in the industry, hoping to build successful careers. While some succeed and enjoy long-lasting fame, others quickly disappear from the spotlight and search for different careers. But this one actor, who rose to fame after playing the younger version of superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Baazigar, impressed audiences with his talent but eventually chose to leave acting for another profession. Let’s find out who this actor is.
Here we are talking about Sumeet Pathak, who entered the film industry in the 1990s and worked in serials and films until the mid-2000s, when he decided to step away from the silver screen and began working behind the camera. The actor made his acting debut with the film Baazigar, starring Shah Rukh Khan, in which he played young Ajay in the film. He garnered a lot of appreciation for his limited role in the film, which also made him earn the Filmfare Award for Best Child Actor. Following this recognition, he acted in films like Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge with Salman Khan, and Tarzan with popular TV actor Vatsal Sheth.
Sumeet Pathak also established a separate identity in the television world for himself. He also featured in a superhero-themed series Hero-Bhakti Hi Shakti Hai which brought him his fame. He also lent his voice for various South movies. He last featured in Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2, which hit the big screens in 2019. After years of establishing his abilities in films and serials, he embarked on a new chapter in his life.
Today, away from all the glitz and glamour, Sumeet Pathak is making a name in the business world. He is the Chief Operating Officer & Managing Director of Gulmohar Media, which is a language localization firm that provides broadcasters and OTT services at the global level.
