Biography
Early life
Sanjay Suri was born on 6 April 1971, in Srinagar, Kashmir, where he spent 19 years of his life. He has an elder brother and elder sister. Living in Srinagar he developed a strong love for nature and the outdoors. As a child Suri was a star squash player and was on his school and state teams. In 1990 his father was killed in a terrorist attack and the family was forced to flee to Jammu where they briefly lived in a refugee camp.[3] They then shifted to Delhi.[4]
Modelling career
When Suri moved to New Delhi in 1990, he was thrust into the world of modelling. He modelled for many companies including Gillette, Nilkamal Furniture, Times of India, Philishave, and Nescafe.
Acting career
1999 witnessed Suri's breakthrough in Bollywood with a supporting role in the movie Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, co-starring Rinke Khanna and Dino Morea. Although the movie flopped, Suri was noticed. His next films were Daman: A Victim of Marital Violence (2001), Filhaal... and the musical Dil Vil Pyar Vyar (2002).
In 2003's Pinjar co-starring Urmila Matondkar he got rave reviews but it was not until Jhankaar Beats later that year that he became popular. His role alongside Juhi Chawla was greatly appreciated. Slowly he got more roles in movies, but his movies were not box office successes. Despite the failure of his films, his performances continued to be appreciated.
In 2005 he delivered a critically acclaimed performance in My Brother… Nikhil, as a homosexual AIDS victim, once again co-starring Juhi Chawla.[5] The movie received unanimous praise among Indian film critics. The movie fared decently in Mumbai, but was a failure elsewhere in India. His succeeding films have not done as well.
Suri and Onir (who also directed My Brother Nikhil) also worked on Sorry Bhai! and under the banner of Anticlock Films have produced I Am which weaves together four stories on different topical issues. With this film they have ventured into a new mode of production involving crowdsourcing, a concept that had not been explored before in Indian cinema. The movie released on 29 April 2011[6] and went on to win the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.[7]
Personal life
Suri along with his wife Ambika, welcomed their first child, a boy, in August 2007, and a second child in August 2010.[8] Sanjay Suri has been honoured by Sandeep Marwah with the membership of International Film And Television Club of Asian Academy Of Film & Television.
