Anshuman Singh(II)
- Actor
Anshuman Ajai Singh, is an Indian film actor, singer and musician. He
recently debuted as the character Jimmy, in the 2012 production of
Agent Vinod, a movie directed by Sriram Raghavan and starring Saif Ali
Khan and Kareena Kapoor. As a young boy growing up in Mulund, a suburb
of Mumbai, Anshuman was a national level badminton player. He later
left the sport of badminton to focus on the study of medicine. It was
his parents' (Dr. Shakuntala Singh and Dr. Ajai Singh) wish that
Anshuman would follow in his father's footsteps and become a
psychiatrist. Accordingly he applied and was accepted to study at a
medical university in St.Petersbourgh, Russia. His own heart however
was rooted in the world of film and throughout the six years of
medicine, he continued to harbor a desire to try his hand at acting in
the Indian film industry. In 2009, after receiving his medical degree,
Anshuman returned to Mumbai and enrolled in one of the city's prominent
acting schools. Anshuman landed his first role as the mysterious rogue
agent, Jimmy, in the March 2012 release of Agent Vinod, starring Saif
Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. His performance was duly noted and
specifically applauded for his striking screen presence.
