Winning Moves: Sharad Kelkar

Originally a Gwalior guy, Sharad Kelkar, is a Grasim Mr India finalist; an MBA in marketing and now, the undisputed hunk factor of two Zee serials - Sindoor and Saat Phere. His journey into showbiz began with advertising. A small cameo in the offbeat National Award-winning Marathi film, Uttarayan, whetted his appetite and he started doing the rounds of production houses.
A cop's role in Akrosh, a few episodes in Bhabhi and Sharad's television innings was off to a good start. Along the way he met and married TV actor, Kirti Gaekwad. The twosome continues their romance as an on-screen couple in Sindoor. With him doing two dailies and the missus doing three, quality time together is a premium.
