Arjan Bajwa Birthday Special: From Pilot dreams to must-watch performances on screen

Actor Arjan Bajwa is celebrating his birthday today. Born in Delhi in 1979, Bajwa has built a career across Hindi and Telugu cinema, later making a strong mark on the digital screen as well. From supporting characters to intense and challenging roles, his journey has been about constantly trying something different. With a career spanning more than two decades, Arjan has worked in films such as Guru, Fashion, Rustom and Kabir Singh. His recent conversations about acting also show an artist who continues to focus on growth, versatility and finding new opportunities.

Demon Hunters: A Different Side of Arjan Bajwa

One of the most interesting recent additions to Arjan Bajwa's filmography is Demon Hunters, an India-Taiwan action-horror-comedy. The film combines Indian mythology with Taiwanese culture and stars Bajwa alongside JC Lin and Regina Lei. It was released in Taiwan on December 31, 2025, making it an interesting international project in his career. The film is particularly worth watching for audiences who want to see Bajwa outside the familiar Bollywood setting. His involvement in an India-Taiwan production also represents another step in his career towards international collaborations.

The Wives: A Reunion With Madhur Bhandarkar

Another project to watch out for is The Wives, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. Arjan Bajwa is part of the ensemble cast, which includes Sonali Kulkarni, Mouni Roy, Regina Cassandra, Rahul Bhatt and Saurabh Sachdeva. The film marks Bajwa's reunion with Bhandarkar nearly 18 years after Fashion. Importantly, The Wives should be described as an upcoming project rather than a recently released film. As of February 2026, filming had wrapped and the release date had not yet been announced.

State of Siege: 26/11: A Standout Digital Performance

For viewers looking for one of Bajwa's strongest screen performances, State of Siege: 26/11 remains a must-watch. In the ZEE5 series, he played Colonel Kunal Sahota in a story based around the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The role allowed him to explore a more action-oriented and serious character. Bajwa's background in Taekwondo also added to his comfort with physically demanding roles.

From Fashion to Kabir Singh

Bajwa's biggest career milestones include his role as Maanav Bhasin in Fashion (2008), a film that became an important turning point in his Bollywood journey. He later appeared in films such as Rustom and Kabir Singh, showing his ability to work across different genres and character types. He has also spoken openly about the challenges of being an outsider in the industry and how opportunities can sometimes be delayed without strong industry backing. His journey is therefore not only about individual roles but also about persistence and staying relevant over the years.

Aviation Career: Passion Beyond Acting

Arjan Bajwa’s achievements go beyond the world of films and television. Along with being an actor, he has also developed a strong interest in aviation and is a trained pilot. His passion for flying reflects his personality beyond the screen, where he has explored different fields and skills. He has also studied architecture and holds a black belt in Taekwondo, making his journey quite different from that of a conventional actor. His varied interests highlight his disciplined and adventurous side and add another interesting dimension to his career.

Arjan Bajwa Still Evolving

Beyond acting, Bajwa has a diverse background. He has studied architecture, is a trained pilot, holds a black belt in Taekwondo and has explored entrepreneurship.

As Arjan Bajwa celebrates another birthday, his filmography stands as a reminder of a career built across languages, genres and platforms. From Fashion and Rustom to State of Siege: 26/11, Kabir Singh and the international Demon Hunters, there is plenty to revisit and with The Wives on the horizon, another interesting chapter may be coming soon.
