Meet actor who became popular despite a flop debut, never delivered a hit in his career, wife and sister in law are famous actresses, his name is...
In an interview, Vatsal recalled how a friend's mother casually suggested he audition for a TV role. That advice became the pivot point of his life. Soon after, Just Mohabbat gave him visibility, and in 2004, he debuted in Bollywood with Tarzan: The Wonder Car opposite Ayesha Takia, playing Ajay Devgn's on-screen son.
The film saw him as Raj Chaudhary, a young man emotionally attached to a special car. Viewers loved his chemistry with Ayesha, and overnight, Vatsal was a star — despite the film's commercial failure. Career beyond the big screen
Post-Tarzan, his films like Nanhe Jaisalmer, Heroes, and Paying Guests failed to make a mark. Vatsal shifted back to television, earning acclaim for Ek Hasina Thi and Rishton Ka Saudagar – Baazigar. In 2023, he made a cinematic return in Adipurush, playing Indrajit, drawing fresh attention. A love story from the sets
While shooting Rishton Ka Saudagar – Baazigar, he met actress Ishita Dutta. Their friendship sparked after a small on-set incident, Ishita's saree got stuck in a table fan, and Vatsal helped untangle it. From there, the bond grew into love.
On 28 November 2017, they married quietly at ISKCON Temple, Mumbai, in the presence of close friends, including Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Tanushree Dutta, and Tanishaa Mukerji. Family life and new beginnings
In 2023, the couple welcomed their son, Vayu. Two years later, in 2025, their daughter, Veda, was born. Social media often features the family's candid moments. Interestingly, Ishita is the younger sister of Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress Tanushree Dutta — and she once played Ajay Devgn's on-screen daughter in Drishyam.

'Son of Sardaar 2' box office collections day 14: Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur starrer holds steady in second week; nears Rs 46 crores
Ajay Devgn 's 'Son of Sardaar 2' has wrapped up two weeks at the box office with an estimated Rs 45.16 crore India net collection.

As reported by the Sacnilk website, the collections saw a steep drop on Monday, dipping to Rs 2.35 crore. However, steady weekday earnings ensured a strong first-week total of Rs 33 crore. Second week shows strength with weekend push The second Friday brought in Rs 1.25 crore. It was the Saturday jump to Rs 4 crore that signaled the film's staying power. Sunday followed closely at Rs 3.75 crore, aided by strong family turnout and positive word-of-mouth. While weekdays in week two slowed to under Rs 1.3 crore per day, the film maintained enough traction to keep audiences trickling in. The Day 14 collection is expected to add modestly to the tally, bringing the film tantalizingly close to the Rs 46 crore mark. Our verdict - An Overstuffed Sequel That Delivers Laughs In Parts ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and an excerpt from our review reads, "Ajay Devgn is convincing as the endearing and guileless Sardar, shining in both comedy and emotional scenes. Mrunal Thakur , as the fiery and outgoing Rabia, holds her own. Ravi Kishan delivers a knockout performance as the businessman-turned-gangster who is exasperated with his father Ranjeet Singh's ( Sharat Saxena ) colourful ways. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh deserve special mention for their strong onscreen chemistry and impeccable comic timing together.
