Early life

[edit]

Somnath Awghade is from Kem village, Karmala Taluka, Solapur district, Maharashtra. He belongs to a family of Halgi performers, and has an elder brother named Ravi and a sister named Ambika.[4][5][6] Awghade received his education in a public school in Kem.[4]

Career

[edit]

Awghade began his career with Fandry as the lead character Jambuwant (nicknamed Jabya) and became famous for his performance in the film.[7] The director of Fandry, Nagraj Manjule received the National Award in 2011 for his short film Pistulya. During the felicitation ceremony in Kem village, he noticed Somnath Awghade playing the halgi. This encounter led to Manjule offering the lead role in Fandry to Awghade.[4][8] Awghade was initially afraid to act and would hide under his village's water tank, but Manjule and his team eventually convinced Awghade to accept the role.[6]

After Fandry, Awghade starred in Free Hit Danka in 2021 co-starring Arbaz Shaikh and Tanaji Galgunde.[9] The following year, Awghade made his Bollywood debut in Jhund with Amitabh Bachchan, marking his second collaboration with Manjule.[10] In 2023, Manjule again cast him in the Hemant Awtade's Ghar Banduk Biryani.[11] In 2024, he starred in Sangharsh Yoddha Manoj Jarange Patil, which is based on the real-life story of Maratha activist Manoj Jarange Patil.[12]
