Early life and background

Mukesh Tiwari was born on 24 August 1969 in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, where he also spent his early years. He attended local schools including Lal School and the Government Multipurpose Higher Secondary School in Sagar before going on to study at Dr. Hari Singh Gour University. He later trained at the National School of Drama in New Delhi, a foundation that prepared him for a career in stage and screen acting.

Career

Tiwari made his film debut in 1998 with China Gate, a performance that earned him recognition early on; he received the Zee Cine Award for Most Promising Debut (Male) for that film. Over the next decades he built a reputation for powerful supporting and negative roles and has been especially associated with the on-screen nickname "Bad Man." His performance in the 2003 film Gangaajal brought him wider notice.

He has worked prolifically, appearing in over 100 films across multiple languages. While best known for Hindi-language work, his credits also include productions in Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu cinema. For one Tamil film, Anegan, he learned the language to suit the role. In addition to film, he has appeared on television; one of his earlier TV credits was in the long-running sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in 2008.

Tiwari is recognized for comic as well as villainous characters. A popular on-screen comic persona he created, Vasooli Bhai from the Golmaal series, has had cultural reach: a similar role was later proposed for a television comedy show, but he declined in order to concentrate on his film work.

Public profile

Physically, Tiwari is listed at approximately 175 cm (5'9") in height and around 75 kg (165 lbs). His recorded body measurements include a 40-inch chest, a 31-inch waist and 12-inch biceps. He has black hair and black eyes.
