ABOUT Gajendra Chauhan

Gajendra Chauhan: From Yudhishthira to Controversy and Back Gajendra Chauhan, predominantly known for his portrayal of Yudhishthira in the iconic 1988-90 television series Mahabharat, has had a career marked by both recognition and controversy. His role as the eldest Pandava remains his most significant achievement, establishing him as a familiar face in Indian television. While he has appeared in several B-movies and cameos, his filmography largely revolves around his early television success. Chauhan's appointment as chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in 2015 ignited widespread student protests and controversy, ultimately leading to his resignation in October 2017. This period significantly shaped public perception of his career. More recently, in 2021, he assumed the role of Vice-Chancellor at Pandit Lakhmi Chand State University of Performing and Visual Arts. His career trajectory highlights the complexities of navigating the Indian entertainment industry, showcasing a blend of early success, subsequent controversies, and a continued presence in the field of higher education related to performing arts. While his on-screen presence may have diminished, his impact on Indian television and the subsequent controversies remain noteworthy aspects of his career.
