Aditya Pancholi made his acting debut in 1985 with Shahadat and entered mainstream Bollywood in 1986 with Sasti Dulhan Mahenga Dulha. He is known for notable films such as Dayavan (1988), Dharamyudh, Kab Tak Chup Rahungi, Qatil, Mohabat Ka Paigham, and Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri.

Married to actress Zarina Wahab, with whom he has two children including actor Sooraj Pancholi, Aditya has recently been in the news for various controversies. These include allegations from actress Kangana Ranaut regarding physical and sexual abuse during her early career in Bollywood. In 2017, Kangana accused Aditya of abuse during interviews, claiming they had an affair when she first entered the industry. Zarina has since defended her husband, stating that he has never been abusive and that past accusations stem from personal grievances.

In a recent interview with Lehren Retro, Zarina revealed that Kangana frequently visited their home and described Aditya as a kind person. She emphasized her belief in his character, saying, “He’s such a sweetheart. If anything, I would be the one to hit him.”

Aditya Pancholi will formally announce his decision to donate his body at the Lion Gold Awards on December 13. His pledge has been praised by Dr. Lion Raju Manwani, who called it “an act of great courage and compassion,” highlighting the importance of such selfless gestures in inspiring others to contribute positively to society.
