Manav Gohil

Born on November 9, 1974, in Surendranagar, Gujarat, Manav Gohil is a distinguished Indian actor and model who has spent over twenty-five years as a cornerstone of the entertainment industry. Raised in Vadodara, he pursued a traditional academic path, earning both a Bachelor of Commerce and an MBA before his victory in the "Man of Gujarat" pageant pivoted his focus toward professional acting in Mumbai. He rose to national prominence during the early 2000s "Golden Era" of Indian soap operas, delivering memorable performances in landmark series such as Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kkusum, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and the long-running crime drama C.I.D.. Throughout his career, Gohil has demonstrated remarkable versatility by successfully transitioning between intense dramas like Shaadi Mubarak and Main Hoon Aparajita, historical comedies like Tenali Rama, and mythological roles in Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev. Beyond the small screen, he has cultivated a respected filmography in both Bollywood and regional cinema, notably starring in the Amitabh Bachchan-produced Gujarati film Saptapadii (2013) and appearing in major Hindi productions such as Super 30 (2019), Baaghi 3 (2020), and Tribhanga (2021). His most recent success includes a role in the 2025 blockbuster spy thriller Dhurandhar and the social drama Jalebi Rocks, with the upcoming comedy Mauje Dariya slated for release in early 2026. A practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism, Gohil lives in Mumbai with his wife, actress Shweta Kawatra, and their daughter, Zahra Tabeetha.
