The Remarkable Journey of Gordhan Singh: From an Unknown Path to the Silver Screen

Born in the culturally rich state of Rajasthan and raised amidst the vibrant landscapes of Jagraon, Punjab, Gordhan Singh’s journey is a testament to perseverance, passion, and unwavering dedication. At just 15 years old, armed with only ₹300 and a glimmer of hope, Gordhan left home with a recommendation letter from London which was sent by relatives of the renowned stunt director Mohan Baggad.


Mohan Bagga, widely celebrated for his work as a stunt coordinator in Hindi films such as Pardesi (1993) and Zinda Dil (2003), as well as notable Punjabi films, became Gordhan’s beacon of hope. With this letter in hand, he set out on a life-changing journey to Mumbai, the city of dreams.

However, after reaching Mumbai, Gordhan’s attempts to meet Mohan Baggad proved futile, as the city’s relentless pace and Baggad’s busy schedule made it impossible. After exhausting his limited resources, Gordhan found shelter in a gurdwara. One day, he met to Mohan Baggad’s nephew,(Mejor singh) who advised him to return home and even helped him financially to do so.

Despite returning to Punjab, Gordhan’s passion for acting remained undeterred. A few weeks later, he made his way back to Mumbai. Before stepping into the world of acting, Gordhan spent 15 years in the hospitality industry, wisely utilizing this time to complete his education alongside his demanding job. His unyielding dream of acting eventually led him to professional training under esteemed instructors from the National School of Drama (NSD), where he honed his craft and mastered the nuances of performance art.

A significant turning point in his journey came when Gordhan participated in the renowned theater workshops of Heggodu, Karnataka, under the guidance of acclaimed director Prasanna. This experience deepened his understanding of the art form and refined his acting skills. From humble beginnings to the world of cinema, Gordhan Singh’s inspiring story is one of resilience, growth, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.

Gordhan Singh is an emerging Indian actor and seasoned theater artist who has quickly made his mark in the film industry. He debuted in 2022 with Ram Gopal Varma’s bold and unconventional film Dangerous, showcasing his ability to tackle challenging roles. Following his impactful debut, Gordhan is now set to captivate audiences with the family wedding entertainer Dulhaniya Le Aayegi.

In this much-anticipated film, Gordhan shares the screen with stalwarts like Mahesh Manjrekar, Piyush Mishra, Omkar Kapoor, and Khushali Kumar. Directed by Akashaditya Lama, with Surendra Khokhar as the associate director and a screenplay penned by Jayant Gupta, the film has been beautifully captured in Bareilly through the expert lens of cinematographer Dileep Regmi.

With a perfect blend of talent and dedication, Gordhan Singh is carving a unique path in Indian cinema, promising audiences unforgettable performances in the years to come.
