Early life and background

Shardul Bhardwaj was born in Bihar and raised with ties to Delhi, which he lists as his hometown. He completed his schooling at Modern School, Barakhamba Road in Delhi and went on to study English literature at the University of Delhi. During his undergraduate years he became involved with theatre at Kirori Mal College and with the college troupe The Players, experiences he later described as widening his perspective and sharpening his creative questions.

After his university studies he took a diploma course in acting at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, graduating from the program in 2017. Bhardwaj has acknowledged the influence of teachers and peers from both his public schooling and his time at FTII on his development as a performer.

Career

Following his graduation from FTII, Bhardwaj began building a screen career across independent and commercial projects. His first film credit listed is Bhonsle (2018), in which he appeared in the role of Pandey. He continued to work in films and short projects, and in 2019 he portrayed Anjani Prasad in the socially sharp comedy-drama Eeb Allay Ooo! That performance earned him a critics’ nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male) at the 66th Filmfare Awards in 2021.

Bhardwaj has also appeared in the anthology Unpaused (2020) and the ensemble film 2024 (2021). In 2023 he was cast as Danny Dandekar in the crime thriller Kuttey, a film that featured a broad ensemble including several established actors.

Throughout his career he has described himself as wanting to be a creative artist beyond acting alone, and has taken on a variety of screen projects that reflect that interest.

Public profile

Physically, Bhardwaj is listed at approximately 171 cm (5'7") tall and around 70 kg (154 lbs), with black eyes and black hair. He has shared aspects of his personal life in interviews and on social media, including a fondness for photographing his mother and an appreciation for singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell and her album Hejira. He has also been open about his tastes and habits on public platforms.

In 2016 Bhardwaj was at the center of a disciplinary matter at FTII. The institute had rusticated him after an incident involving an email; he petitioned the Bombay High Court and was granted interim relief that allowed him to join his final-year diploma project. The episode was covered in the press at the time and is part of the public record concerning his time at FTII.
