Sharib Hashmi on his character JK Talpade in The Family Man 2, acting alongside Manoj Bajpayee

Sharib Hashmi says he was ‘craving for recognition’ for years and is glad to get it from his role in The Family Man 2 As somebody who dreamt of becoming a quintessential “hero” as a child, The Family Man star Sharib Hashmi’s journey in the film industry has been nothing short of a real-life success story, full of “ups and downs”. But I wanted to do something in this line so I worked as an assistant director and started writing non-fiction shows for MTV and Channel V.” Hashmi’s initial acting gig was on the popular prank show MTV Bakra and he followed it up with a role of a slum-dweller in filmmaker Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire. “When the offer for The Family Man came I was hoping it would work as the project was big.” His spontaneity as a performer and his chemistry with lead star of the series, Manoj Bajpayee, attracted the audiences and soon his character, JK became a fan favourite, making Hashmi a household name. Post the success of the first season of The Family Man, Hashmi went on to star in another two acclaimed series Asur and Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story.
