Jaideep Ahlawat (born 8 February 1980)[1] is an Indian actor known for his work in Hindi films and series. He has received several awards including three Filmfare OTT Awards and nominations for two Filmfare Awards.

After graduating from the Film and Television Institute of India, he played minor roles in several films before appearing in the crime film Gangs of Wasseypur (2012).[2] This was followed by supporting roles in several films, including Commando: A One Man Army (2013), Gabbar Is Back (2015), and Vishwaroopam II (2018).[3][4]

Ahlawat gained wider recognition for his roles in the mainstream films Raees (2017) and Raazi (2018).[5] In 2020, he gained acclaim for starring as a cop in the streaming series Paatal Lok, winning a Filmfare OTT Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. He received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in An Action Hero (2022), and has since starred in the 2023 films Jaane Jaan and Three of Us. For his performance in the former he won Filmfare OTT Award for Best Actor in a Web Original film (Critics) and Filmfare OTT Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Web Original Film for the 2024 film Maharaj.

Early life and education[edit | edit source]

Jaideep Ahlawat was born in Kharkara, a village in the Meham Chaubisi tehsil of the Rohtak district of Haryana, India, into a Hindu Jat family.[6][7] He got his high school certificate from Govt. High School in Kharkara. He attended Jat College in Rohtak. After his graduation, Ahlawat got his Master of Arts (MA) degree in English from Maharshi Dayanand University in 2005. He completed his acting graduation from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune, Maharashtra in 2008, where Rajkummar Rao, Vijay Varma, and Sunny Hinduja were his acting mates.[8]

Career[edit | edit source]

Jaideep did theatre at a young age but wanted to be an Indian Army officer. However, after not clearing his SSB interviews multiple times (Both at "Selection Centre East Prayagraj"), he ventured into acting. He used to do stage shows in Punjab and Haryana.[9] He started to take acting seriously only after his graduation. He entered the film world the hard way, without any godfather.[10] After completing his education in 2008, he headed to Mumbai to pursue his dreams to become an actor. He started his career in Bollywood.

He was first noticed in a negative character portrayal in Priyadarshan's Khatta Meetha (2010). In the same year he appeared in Aakrosh with Ajay Devgn.[11] Thereafter he did more films including Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) and Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam (2012).[12][13] Gangs of Wasseypur came as a turning point in Jaideep's life, as its success helped him gain enough recognition in India. Jaideep then appeared in a Tamil spy thriller film Vishwaroopam with Haasan, which turned out to be a great success in the south in 2013. He appeared in a Hindi version of the same film called Vishwaroop, made in the same year, which gave him more recognition. Impressed by his acting skills and popularity, Haasan got him into the sequel Vishwaroopam 2 as well, which released in 2016.

Ahlawat was cast as an antagonist in the series Bard of Blood opposite Emraan Hashmi,[14] and played a negative character in Bollywood film, Khaali Peeli, which was released in October 2020.[15] Ahlawat received widespread acclaim for his role as Hathi Ram Chaudhary in the web series Paatal Lok, which released in March 2020.[16][17] The series in itself was universally lauded for its direction, acting and handling of sensitive issues.

He has also appeared in multiple series in 2022. His performance in series like Bloody Brothers (2022) and The Broken News (2022) has been appreciated by the critics.[18]

Since 2023, Ahlawat has received critical acclaim for his performance in Jaane Jaan along with Kareena Kapoor and Vijay Varma, and in Maharaj opposite Junaid Khan. He was next seen in the Netflix movie Jewel Thief which released in 2025, opposite Saif Ali Khan,[19] which received negative reviews, though his performance was praised. He reprised his role of Hathiram Chaudhary in season 2 of Paatal Lok.

Ahlawat's first role of 2026 was of Pakistan Army Brigadier Jaan Mohammad Nisar (based on Brigadier Khwaja Mohammed Naseer) in Ikkis, a biopic on 2nd Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. He was cast alongside Dharmendra in his final film role, and Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan. Although it was commercially unsuccessful, Ikkis received positive reviews.[20]
