“PACE SAYS..!! Shout out video by the man himself @gulshangrover (THE BADMAN),” reads the caption. “Australia 🇦🇺 is going to witness something new and crazy this time 🔥 Get your tickets now – Link in Bio.”
The Australian Tour
This announcement follows a recent poster launch for what appears to be a significant event titled “Villain Night with The Diva” in Australia. According to an earlier post on Grover’s Instagram, the event will feature several Bollywood legends known for their villainous roles alongside a musical performance.
The star-studded lineup includes Gulshan Grover himself, along with acclaimed actors Ashish Vidyarthi and Mukesh Rishi, who are both renowned for their antagonist roles in Indian cinema. Adding glamour to the event will be Shefali Jariwala, described as the “Diva of the Century” in the promotional materials.
The retro-themed event promises fans a meet-and-greet opportunity with the stars, followed by what’s described as an “insane club night party” that will continue until late. Fans are encouraged to dress up in retro attire for the occasion.
Gulshan Grover
With a career spanning over four decades, Gulshan Grover has established himself as one of Bollywood’s most recognizable villains. Grover has appeared in over 400 films across various languages and has also made significant inroads into international cinema.
Born on September 21, 1955, in New Delhi, Grover graduated from the prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce before studying acting at the Film and Television Institute of India. His breakthrough came with the film “Rocky” in 1981, and he went on to become a staple antagonist in Hindi cinema throughout the 1980s and 1990s, earning the moniker “Bad Man” after his character in the film “Ram Lakhan” (1989).
Beyond his villainous persona on screen, Grover has shown a softer side in real life. A recent post by PETA India highlighted his involvement with animal rights causes. The post mentioned, “He may be Bollywood’s iconic ‘Bad Man’, but when it comes to animals, @gulshangrover is pure hero.” It further noted his advocacy for Sunder, a captive elephant, and his stance against the leather trade.
Family Connections
Gulshan Grover is also a proud father to Sanjay Grover, who has carved his own path in the entertainment industry. According to recent Instagram posts, Sanjay works as a Hollywood studio executive at MGM in Los Angeles and is involved in producing international films.
A recent post by Gulshan Grover mentioned that Sanjay is working on an international film with Hollywood director Tarsem, in partnership with Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series Films. He’s also producing his first Bollywood film titled “Heer Express” with director Umesh Shukla, and has contributed as both an actor and writer to various projects.
The father-son duo appears to share a close bond, with Gulshan often posting proud updates about Sanjay’s achievements and career milestones.
Connecting With Bollywood Colleagues
Despite his busy schedule, Grover maintains strong relationships with his industry colleagues. Recent social media posts show him catching up with Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar, Kajol, and Sushmita Sen at the Pinkvilla Screen & Style Awards. He also shared moments with veteran actor Anupam Kher, noting that he “always come[s] out inspired after meeting” him.
The upcoming Australian tour represents Gulshan Grover’s continued engagement with international audiences, expanding his reach beyond Indian cinema. With the promise of something “new and crazy,” fans in Australia can look forward to experiencing the charisma of Bollywood’s iconic Bad Man in person.
Tickets for the Australian tour are currently available, with specific dates and cities expected to be announced soon. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates on what promises to be an unforgettable event featuring some of Bollywood’s most memorable villains.
