Early life and background
Shiv Pandit was born on 21 June 1984 in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and spent his childhood moving between Nagpur, Dehradun, Karnataka and Delhi due to his father’s government job. He completed his schooling at Doon Public School in Dehradun and went on to graduate from Hindu College, Delhi. Sport played a significant part in his youth: he was an avid footballer and represented his state at the youth level.

Career
Pandit’s interest in acting began during college, where he took part in theatre work before moving into broadcast and screen roles. He worked as a radio jockey in Mumbai from 2002 to 2004, and his on-camera break started with hosting duties on Studio Disney in 2005. On television he became widely recognised for portraying Chief Inspector Hanuman Prasad Pandey in the sitcom FIR on SAB TV, a role that brought him critical attention.

In cinema, Pandit made an early English-language debut with Let’s Enjoy (2004) and appeared in the Hindi film Aagey Se Right (2009). He gained further notice for his performance as Dushyant Sahu (Dash) in the crime thriller Shaitaan, a role that raised his profile and led to multiple nominations. He also played supporting roles in larger commercial projects, including a part opposite Akshay Kumar in Boss.

Pandit has taken on a variety of formats and genres. He hosted IPL-related programming such as Extra Innings T20 in 2008, presented reality formats including stints on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 3, and appeared in a number of short films — titles include The Private Life of Albert Pinto, The Other Woman, Jai Mata Di, Paagal, Koi Hai and Bulbul. In 2011 he was listed third in the Times of India’s Most Promising Newcomer list.

On the web and in independent cinema he continued to explore challenging material. He appeared in the 2017 web series Untag and in the film Loev, released on Netflix, where he portrayed a gay character; Loev had earlier festival success, winning audience awards at Frameline and at the Tel Aviv Film Festival. Later, Pandit took a lead role in the thriller 7 Hours To Go.
