Nikitin Dheer

Nikitin Dheer is a Bollywood actor, born on 17th March, 1987 in Mumbai. He has got his fierce features from his father Pankaj Dheer, who played the role of Karna in B. R. Chopra's popular TV serial 'Mahabharata'.

Nikitin's muscular personality with that intense look made him earn his debut film 'Jodha Akbar', where he played a negative role of Akbar's brother- in-law Sharifuddin Hussain. The film proved to be huge success, getting him recognized for his noteworthy performance. He was next seen in Apoorva Lakhia's 'Mission Istaanbul'. Though this film took a deep dive at box-office being a flop, but again his performance was appreciated.

Nikitin has earned the name of Bollywood's "Bad-Man", after playing villain back to back in the blockbuster films like 'Ready', 'Dabangg 2' and 'Chennai Express'. His character role of "Thangbali" from the film 'Chennai Express' is considered his best performance so far.

Like his father, he too appeared in mythological TV show 'Dwarkadheesh-Bhagwaan Shree Krishn' playing the character role of King Kalyavan. Also, he was seen performing some of the deadly stunts in reality show 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi'.
