Biography
Arjun Mathur (born 18 October 1981) is a British-Indian actor working predominantly in Hindi films, web series, and television serials. He was seen internationally in the British drama series Indian Summers and plays the lead character in the Amazon Original series Made in Heaven, the latter of which earned him an International Emmy award nomination for Best Actor.
Arjun was discovered by Mira Nair and Farhan Akhtar simultaneously, through their respective short films, Migration and Positive for the 'Aids Jaago' project, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, in 2007.
This was followed by several remarkable performances in mainstream Indian films like 'Luck By Chance', 'My Name Is Khan' and 'Ankur Arora Murder Case', as well as critically acclaimed independent films like 'Barah Aana', 'Coffee Bloom', the National-Award winning 'I Am' and the English language film, 'Fireflies', for which he received a Best Actor nomination at the New York Indian Film Festival, 2013.
In 2019, Arjun played the lead in Zoya Akhtar's Amazon original series, 'Made In Heaven' and received a nomination in the 'Best Performance by an Actor' category at the International Emmy Awards 2020, for his nuanced portrayal of a gay man living in urban India at a time when homosexuality was illegal. The show itself received worldwide audience and critical acclaim, eventually returning for a second season four years later.
Arjun was also seen in The Gone Game - a suspense thriller series set/conceived, shot, and released during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020
