Kanwaljit Singh is an
India nactor who has performed in films as well as television serials. He has acted in Hindi as well as Punjabi films.Kanwaljit hails from a
Sikh family ofSaharanpur ,Uttar Pradesh . After graduation, he joined the Films and Television Institute of India (FTII),Pune . His first film was "Dastaan-e-Laila Majnu" followed by "Hum Rahe Na Hum" byVijay Anand , "Shart" and "Shaque" by Ketan Anand.Two of his films, "Hum Rahe Na Hum" and "Shaque", which he heavily banked on, did not do well at the box office. He was slotted as a failure, and it was around this time that he was introduced to television (the small screen, then was not a popular medium). His role as an illegitimate child, Satbir in
Ramesh Sippy ’s mega serial "Buniyaad " gave him instant recognition. This earned him many offers, but even at that time he did not take up anything that came his way. On the contrary he has always preferred to wait and do lesser but more meaningful roles. In the coming years he was approached with roles of his choice and thus serials like "Saans", "Family no. 1", "Dard" and "Siski" happened.Married to actress
Anuradha Patel , they have two sons, Siddharth and Aditya and a god daughter, Mariam, residing in theUnited States .Select Filmography
