Early life

[edit]

Bakshi is a Punjabi.[6] He began his career as a theatre artist in 1980. He has worked in plays in Uttar Pradesh for 18 years. Bakshi has performed key roles in many plays such as Mahabhoj, Chandramukhi, Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya O Jamyai Nai, Curfew, Muawze, Til Ka Taad, Dil Ki Dukaan, Kath Ki Gadi, Baby, Yaaddasht Mubarak, Heroine No.1, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga, Samaryatra, Is Dard Ki Dawa Kahaan and more.[7]

Career

[edit]

The Pakistani policeman's role in the superhit movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan brought him a new identity in the Bollywood industry.[8] Bakshi has worked with seasoned actors like Govinda, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and all the Khans.

He also appeared in the movie Panipat as a very controversial character, Maharaja Surajmal. It was a short role of Hindu Jat ruler of Bharatpur in Rajasthan, India. In the film, Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau (a character played by Arjun Kapoor) asks Maharaja Surajmal for help to defeat the Afghans, but he demands the Agra Fort in return. As his demand remained unfulfilled, he refused to help Sadashiv.[9][10]
