'''Shishir Kumar Bhaduri''' or '''Sisir Kumar Bhaduri''' (2 October 1889 – 30 June 1959) was an Indian stage actor and theatre founder, who commonly referred to as the pioneer of modern [[Bengali theatre]], where he was an actor, director, playwright and even scenic designer. His grandson's name is Surya Bhaduri.<br />
<br />
After [[Girish Chandra Ghosh]], he introduced realism and naturalism to theatre.<ref name="tele" /> He was awarded the [[Padma Bhushan]], India's third highest civilian honour by the [[Government of India]] in 1959.<ref>{{cite web|title=Padma Awards Directory (1954–2013)|publisher=[[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)|Ministry of Home Affairs]]|url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf}}</ref> He refused to take Padma award, saying that if he takes the award, it will send wrong signal that government have helped promoting theatre culture in the country.<br />
<br />
Born in [[Howrah]], he studied at [[Scottish Church College]] Kolkata, where he started participating in theatre. He was also a professor of Metropolitan College (today's [[Vidyasagar College]]). In 1921, he left his job to become full-time stage actor.<br />
<br />
The 2013 play ''Nihsanga Samrat'' directed by [[Debesh Chattopadhyay]], is based on 2005 Bengali novel by the same name written by [[Sunil Gangopadhyay]] on the life of Bhaduri.<ref name=tele>{{cite web | title = The lonely monarch | publisher=The Telegraph|url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130616/jsp/calcutta/story_17010792.jsp |date=16 June 2013| access-date = 2014-05-23 }}</ref><br />
