Vijayendra Ghatge (born 1945) is an Indian actor in Bollywood film and television. He is known for his role of Lala Vrishbhaan in the TV serial Buniyaad that originally aired on DD National in 1986. Among other serials and several films, he is also known for his roles in Chitchor (1976), Prem Rog (1982) and more recently Devdas (2002) and Jhankaar Beats (2003).

Background and education

[edit]

Ghatge is a member of the Maratha royal family of Kagal estate, which was a feudatory vassal of Kolhapur State. He is thus a relative of the Maharaja of Kolhapur, as Chhatrapati Shahu was adopted from Kagal and placed on the Gadi of Kolhapur. Ghatge's mother, Sitaraje Ghatge, is the daughter of the Dhangar royal family of Maharaja Tukoji Rao Holkar III of Indore (reigned 1903–1926) by his American-born third wife Nancy Miller (who was formally adopted by the Maharaja's aunt and took the name Sharmishtha Devi Holkar upon marrying the Maharaja).[1][2] He is the uncle of Indian actress Sagarika Ghatge (married to Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan), sometimes mistakenly considered as her father.[3] He is married to Avantika Ghatge who was formerly working as head of department of Fine Arts at the Daly College in Indore and together they have a daughter Umikaa Ghatge, who studied at the Daly College and is a freelance content writer.

After doing B.Com Honours (Management) from Sydenham College of Commerce, Bombay Vijayendra graduated in acting course from the FTII, Pune.

Career

[edit]

Ghatge started his film career with a supporting role in Rajshri Productions' 1976 Hindi film Chitchor. Directed by Basu Chatterjee, the film was a box office "Superhit".[4] Thereafter, he did various supporting roles in films like Kasme Vaade (1978), Tere Pyar Mein, Prem Rog (1982) and Razia Sultan (1983). In the mid-1980s, Ghatge began appearing in television serials. His character role of Lala Vrishbhaan, played in the 1986–87 classic serial Buniyaad made him a household name.[5]
