Arjun Mathur is a British-Indian actor known for working in Hindi films, web series and television serials. Arjun Mathur was born on 18th October 1981, in London, England to Rakesh Mathur and Reynoo Mathur. His mother died in a car accident when he was 13. His father is a hotelier. He has an older brother, Gautam and a younger sister, Sonia. Mathur studied at St. Columbas School, New Delhi, St. Mary's School, Mumbai, The British School, New Delhi and Oaklands College, St Albans, Hertfordshire where he completed his A-Level schooling. After that, he chose to not pursue a college degree and instead, got trained as an actor at Barry John's Institute as well as the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York. In his initial days, he worked as an assistant director for 'Bunty Aur Babli' and 'Rang De Basanti'. Arjun was discovered by Mira Nair and Farhan Akhtar simultaneously, through their respective short films, 'Migration' and 'Positive' for the 'AIDS Jaago' project. This was followed by several remarkable performances in mainstream Indian films like Luck By Chance, My Name is Khan and Ankur Arora Murder Case as well as critically acclaimed independent films like 'Barah Ana', 'Coffee Boom', the National-Award winning 'I Am' and the English film, 'Fireflies'. In 2012, he garnered praise for the youth-centric mini-series, 'Bring On The Night', which was the first of its kind produced in India, before the streaming revolution took hold. Arjun has appeared in numerous television commercials and was a brand ambassador for the leading Indian lifestyle brand, 'Godrej' from 2013 till 2016. He was also seen in Channel 4's British drama series, 'Indian Summers' as the volatile nationalist, Naresh Banerjee. The 2018 Netflix original film, 'Brij Mohan Amar Rahe' (Long Live Brij Mohan)' saw Arjun step away from his image and impress audiences and critics as an underwear salesman from Delhi, who tries to fake his death and fails miserably. In 2019, Arjun played the lead in Zoya Akhtar's Amazon Prime Video original series, 'Made in Heaven' and received a nomination in the 'Best Performance by an Actor' category at the International Emmy Awards 2020, for his nuanced portrayal of a gay man living in urban India at a time when homosexuality was illegal. The show received worldwide audience and critical acclaim and will return for a second season. He was last seen in 'The Gone Game' a suspense thriller series that was set, conceived, shot and released during the lockdown in 2020.
