Rohit Saraf, born on December 8, 1996, is a talented Indian actor who has garnered significant appreciation in both Bollywood and OTT platforms. Besides his great acting skills, he also gained fame gradually by playing in movies such as Dear Zindagi and the web series Mismatched. The way he has evolved over the years, from being a child artist to one of the most popular young actors in India, is simply encouraging.
Rohit was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, in a Hindu-Nepali family. Afterward, his family relocated to Delhi and eventually to Mumbai in Maharashtra. His father, Suresh Saraf, died when Rohit was only 12, which was a huge loss that took a toll on him. Besides the mother, there was also the father, who was a major contributing factor to his upbringing. Rohit did his schooling at Saint Francis D’Assisi High School in Mumbai and then went on to St. Xavier’s College for his degree.
Rohit, at a very small age, was already showing signs of being an artist. He did school plays and participated in dance competitions, which later made him think of acting as a profession. Rohit is a Sagittarius. Rohit is close to his family. His mom, Anita Saraf, is the main support in his life. He has one brother, Ankit Saraf, who is the youngest among them, and two sisters, Swati and Megha Saraf. He often posts on social media about family moments and thus keeps the connection with his roots alive.
