From humble beginnings in episodic television to carving a niche in hard-hitting films and web series, actor Kuldeep Sareen’s journey in the Indian entertainment industry has been anything but linear. Currently making waves with his haunting performance as Taau in Chhorii 2, Sareen reflects on a career shaped by perseverance, reinvention, and a deep love for storytelling.

Directed by Vishal Furia, Chhorii 2 builds on the eerie universe of its predecessor, blending supernatural horror with social commentary. Alongside Nushrratt Bharuccha and Soha Ali Khan, Kuldeep’s portrayal of a menacing and emotionally complex antagonist adds a chilling layer to the narrative.


For Sareen, this role represents more than just screen time—it’s a testament to years of endurance. “From doing an appearance in Kumkum years ago to now doing a strong and pivotal role in Chhorii 2, life has thrown me many ups and downs,” he shares, speaking with hard-earned clarity. “This industry can be brutal, but it can also reward your patience. You just have to hold on long enough.”


A theatre artist from Gwalior at heart, Sareen’s early years were defined by stage performances that honed his craft. His move to Mumbai led to roles in prominent films such as Don, Talaash, Lamhaa, Karz, and Saand Ki Aankh. As digital content took center stage, Sareen adapted seamlessly, earning praise for his work in Delhi Crime 2, Guri Aur Dhairya Ki Love Story, Shoorveer, and Rafuchakkar.


But the road hasn’t been smooth. “There were times I did roles that barely lasted a scene. But I took each as a step forward. The hustle has never stopped,” he says. Now, with Chhorii 2, Sareen stands tall—an example of how staying true to one's craft can eventually lead to the spotlight.
