Aditya Kumar Biography

Indian actor known for his breakthrough role as Perpendicular in Gangs of Wasseypur 2 and work across film and OTT.

Early life and background

Aditya Kumar was born on 7 December 1992 in Bihar Sharif and raised in the Pabhera village near Patna, Bihar. He completed his schooling at DAV Public School in Kumhrar, Patna, and earlier attended De Nobili School, FRI in Dhanbad. After finishing his 10th standard he developed an interest in acting and sought his family’s support to train in Mumbai.

He later moved to Mumbai, enrolled at the National Law College in Bandra, and trained with The Free Birds Collective, an acting school founded by theatre practitioner Barry John. He holds a bachelor's degree.

Career

Aditya Kumar’s screen debut came with a small but memorable role in the 2012 crime film Gangs of Wasseypur 2, in which he played the character nicknamed Perpendicular. Preparing for that part required learning a specific physical skill used on screen, a discipline that contributed to the attention the role received and established his early public identity.

Before Gangs of Wasseypur 2, he auditioned for a lead role in the anthology Mumbai Cutting; although he was cast, that project was never released. He has also acted in short films, including Sujata (2011) and Agony of a Purple Clot (2013), and expanded into digital work with a role in the web series Bose: Dead/Alive (2017), where he played Nakli Bose.

In 2018 he appeared in the Hindi romantic drama Dhadak as Devi Lal, a part that fulfilled a long-held wish to work under the Dharma Productions banner. He has spoken about that experience as an opportunity to grow both as an actor and personally.

Public profile

Aditya became widely recognized for Perpendicular, a role that brought him typecasting challenges; he has described being repeatedly offered teenage roles long after his debut. He identifies with the craft of acting and, according to his public profile, favours improvisation in performance.

Physically, he is listed at approximately 170 cm (5'7") in height with black hair and black eyes. Fans also know him by the nickname Raju.

Personal life

Aditya Kumar is from a family in Bihar; his father, Jayant Kumar, is noted as the owner of a motor workshop and his mother is Aasha Devi. Public information lists him as unmarried. He keeps animals and is an animal lover with a pet dog named Cheeni.

Outside work, he enjoys photography—particularly landscapes, animals, and birds—and shares those images on social media. He is also a fitness enthusiast who practices yoga and posts related photos and videos.

Latest updates

Highlights of his later work include the OTT appearance in Bose: Dead/Alive (2017) and his role in Dhadak (2018). He has commented in interviews about the lasting impact of his Gangs of Wasseypur 2 performance and the challenge of finding roles that move him beyond that early breakthrough.

Aditya continues to train and work across films, short films, and digital projects while maintaining an active social presence where he posts about fitness, photography, and his pet.
