Sharib Hashmi, an actor par excellence, has mesmerised everyone with his versatility over the years. We know him as ‘J.K. Talpade’ from The Family Man, but he has been active in front of and behind the camera for the past two decades. Apart from being a spectacular actor, Sharib is a soulful singer too, and his social media handle is proof of it, as he never misses an opportunity to render some melodious tracks.
Born into a middle-class family in Malad, Mumbai, to noted film journalist Z.A. Johar, Sharib worked behind the scenes in MTV Roadies Season 2 and MTV Bakra. Sharib made his acting debut in 2008 with a small role in Slumdog Millionaire. He later appeared in films such as Haal-e-Dil, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Vodka Diaries, Ujda Chaman, Darbaan, Vikram Vedha, and many others. After years of hard work, fame knocked on his door in the form of The Family Man. As ‘Jayavant Kashinath “JK” Talpade’, he has been ruling the Indian screens since 2019.
