&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
{{BLP unsourced section|date=May 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
Cyrus Sahukar was born in the military headquarters of Mhow, Indore on 6 August 1980. His father, Colonel Behram Sahukar, is [[Parsi]], and his mother, Nimeran Sahukar, a writer, is [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]]. He has an elder sister, Preeti Philip, who is an artist. Sahukar did his schooling from [[St. Columba&#039;s School, Delhi|St Columba&#039;s School, Delhi]] and he graduated from the [[Delhi College of Arts and Commerce]] of [[Delhi University]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sahukar started doing theatre in school and acted in school plays from the age of 6. He also used to sing in his school band, and by age 14, he was a part of IPS [[Kiran Bedi]]&#039;s Literacy Mission Program, in which the students performed plays and educational skits for the Punjabi inmates of [[Tihar Jail]]. During the same period, he acted in a play which was a part of [[Barry John (theatre director)|Barry John&#039;s]] Red Noses Club. The play was directed by John and was called &#039;&#039;[[Haroun and the Sea of Stories]]&#039;&#039;, based on a novel by author [[Salman Rushdie]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 15, he performed a musical show called &#039;&#039;[[Thank you for the music]]&#039;&#039;, directed by Stephen Marazzi, which was his first professional endeavor as a singer. After that, he joined [[Roshan Abbas]] and started doing radio voice-overs and jingles. His first jingle was for Harpic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the age of 16, he was hosting a [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] radio show called &#039;&#039;Radio Rampage&#039;&#039; in Delhi. Around the same time, he worked on the production of and acted in [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Starlight Express]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Graffiti Postcards from School&#039;&#039;, both plays directed by [[Roshan Abbas]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he auditioned in a nationwide search for [[MTV]] [[India]] called &#039;&#039;[[MTV VJ Hunt]]&#039;&#039;. He won this VJ Hunt along with [[Mini Mathur]] and Asif Seth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Journey from MTV==&lt;br /&gt;
He joined [[MTV]] in the end of 1999 and moved from Delhi to [[Mumbai]] and became one of the youngest people working in [[MTV]]. He said about the demanding new work, &amp;quot;It was a scary time. Channel V had just been launched as well and there were 15 new VJs every week. And to top that off, my name was [[Cyrus]],&amp;quot; referring both to comparisons with elder-comic Cyrus Broacha and the seemingly-limited number of [[Parsi]] names.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mitra, &amp;quot;Many Faces&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following year, in 2000, he fronted a show called &#039;&#039;MTV Fully Faltoo&#039;&#039;. It went on to become one of the first shows to spoof on everything – from movies, to ads, and TV shows, prominent among them being &#039;&#039;[[Sholay]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai]]&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;[[Indiana Jones]]&#039;&#039; series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around the same time, he started performing a spoof on [[Navjot Singh Sidhu]] as &#039;&#039;[[Piddhu The Great]]&#039;&#039; and also hosted &#039;&#039;Semi Girebaal&#039;&#039;, which was a spoof on the talk show &#039;&#039;Rendezvous with Simi Garewal&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Semi Girebaal&#039;&#039; recorded a higher rating than the original show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[MTV]] forayed into the [[mockumentary]] arena, he started anchoring the show &#039;&#039;Kickass Mornings&#039;&#039;, in which he played 25 different characters. He then also hosted two seasons of the game show &#039;&#039;[[Brain Wall|Hole in the Wall]]&#039;&#039;, followed by &#039;&#039;All stars&#039;&#039;, both for [[Pogo TV|Pogo]] Channel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His most high-profile film role to-date came with &#039;&#039;[[Aisha (2010 film)|Aisha]]&#039;&#039; (2010), the ensemble romantic comedy-drama directed by [[Rajshree Ojha]], in which he starred alongside [[Sonam K Ahuja|Sonam Kapoor]], [[Abhay Deol]], [[Ira Dubey]], [[Amrita Puri]], [[Anand Tiwari]], [[Arunoday Singh]] and [[Lisa Haydon]]; he portrayed Randhir Gambhir, a sweetmeat business tycoon and friend of Kapoor&#039;s eponymous lead.&lt;br /&gt;
