Sanjeev Bhaskar
Sanjeev Bhaskar, OBE, is a British Indian comedian and actor, best known for his work in the BBC Two comedy series Goodness Gracious Me and as host of The Kumars at No. 42. He also presented and starred in a documentary series called India with Sanjeev Bhaskar where he travelled India and visited his ancestral home in today's Pakistan.
In 2003, he was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy.
At the age of 32, he at last felt that his parents were pleased with him. "For the first 32 years of my life, they didn’t laugh at a single thing I said", he jokes. "Then, quite frankly, they just jumped on the bandwagon because they saw everyone else was laughing!" Bhaskar has starred in a number of United Kingdom-produced films including The Guru and Anita and Me. He also had a cameo as a shop owner in Yash Raj Films' production Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
Bhaskar, the Kumars and Gareth Gates collectively released the official single for Comic Relief in 2003, which spent three weeks at number 1 and was the second highest selling single of the year.
He appeared as a guest on the BBC’s Top Gear in 2003, and in 2005 he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the New Year Honours List.
As part of the BBC’s series of programmes on the 60th anniversary of the independence of India and Pakistan, he filmed a BBC documentary series India with Sanjeev Bhaskar with director Deep Sehgal which was broadcast to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Indian Independence in August 2007.
His first book 'India with Sanjeev Bhaskar' based on the documentary series became a Sunday Times bestseller in 2007.
In 2008 he made his musical theatre debut as King Arthur in Spamalot at London's Palace Theatre.
He has written and will star in the forthcoming ITV sitcom Mumbai Calling and the UK tour of the hit American improv show, Totally Looped.
On the 23rd February 2009 Sanjeev was appointed as the University of Sussex's new Chancellor. He was formally installed at the University's summer graduation ceremony on the 22nd of July 2009.
In March 2010, Sanjeev featured on the BBC Radio 4 comedy show "I've Never Seen Star Wars".
