A career from film to television comedy
Shekhar Suman is an Indian actor and television presenter known for Utsav, Dekh Bhai Dekh and Heeramandi.
From Utsav to the television screen
Shekhar Suman is an Indian actor and television presenter whose screen career has moved between cinema, family comedy and talk shows.
His film debut came in Utsav (1984), directed by Girish Karnad and produced by Shashi Kapoor. Suman has recalled how unexpectedly the opportunity arrived early in his career.
Television introduced him to audiences in another register: he played Sameer Diwan in the family sitcom Dekh Bhai Dekh, before becoming known as the host of Movers & Shakers.
In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi (2024), he returned to period drama. In an interview about the series, he discussed the freedom the director gave him to shape his performance.
The films listed below are those currently available on FLM.RED, not a complete record of his career.
