Ek Baar Phir (2013–2015).[1][2]

Sachdev's performance on Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Ek Baar Phir earned him recognition internationally.[3] He is the recipient of the Indian Telly Award — Fresh New Face (2009) during his work on Chotti Bahu. Sachdev continued starring in television series playing the wealthy and influential landowner Armaan Raza Sheikh in Qubool Hai 4 (2015–2016), Dr. Amit Goel in Balika Vadhu – Lahme Pyaar Ke (2016), and the devoted and protective Madhav Singh Takhur in Main Bhi Ardhangini (2019).

Early life

Avinash Sachdev was born on 22 August 1986 in Mumbai, Maharashtra and brought up in Vadodara, Gujarat. His father’s name is Vijay Sachdev, and his mother’s name is Pooja Sachdev. He completed his education in Vadodara. Sachdev initially wanted to serve the Indian Administrative Service as an Air Force Pilot but was unable as he was prescribed eyeglasses. After moving back to Mumbai, Sachdev developed an interest in filmmaking production and began his acting career in 2006.[4][5]

Career

Early work

After winning pageant titles such as Mr. Baroda, Mr. University and Mr. Gujarat (2004-2005), Sachdev participated in the Gladrags Model Hunt. He volunteered as an assistant director on Hatim when he was 18 years old. He also volunteered and assisted Farhan Akhtar in Rock On!! (2008).[6] He began participating in television commercials doing ads for TVS Scooty.[7][6] Sachdev made his acting debut in 2006 with a cameo appearance in the StarPlus drama series Karam Apnaa Apnaa. He played his first negative role in the Sony TV drama series Khwaish from 2007 to 2008 in a minor role, followed by a double negative role in the StarPlus drama series Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil in 2008.[8][9]

2008–2015: Career breakthrough

Sachdev’s first notable role was his portrayal as Dev Purohit in the Zee TV drama series Chotti Bahu. Dev is a simple and family-oriented boy who lives up to his family’s expectations and is determined to make his family proud. When he meets a girl he develops feelings for, he must navigate the challenges of pursuing his own happiness while staying true to his family’s values. In 2011, Sachdev reprised his role as Dev Purohit in the second season of Chotti Bahu with a new plot. After the end of the series, he participated in several world tours and concerts. In 2010, 2011, and 2012, he performed in the Zee Night Concerts along with his Chotti Bahu co-star, Rubina Dilaik. In 2012, Sachdev also participated in the Zee Heroes concert and in 2013, he performed at the Zee Stars Concert held in South Africa.[10][11][12][13][14]

From 2013 to 2015, Sachdev starred in the StarPlus romantic drama series Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Ek Baar Phir alongside Shrenu Parikh as Shlok Agnihotri.[10] Shlok is a wealthy businessman who turns into a chauvinist after his troubled breakup in the past. Shlok deceivingly shows love and marries Aastha (Shrenu Parikh) to take revenge as he mistakenly holds her accountable for his lost reputation. Despite his intentions, Shlok is also deeply conflicted and struggles with his own emotions, and with the help of his wife, he learns to overcome his past and recognises the importance of equality. His character undergoes a significant development throughout the series, particularly through his relationship with Aastha, who challenges his beliefs and helps him become more compassionate. In 2017, because of Sachdev’s work on the series, he was invited to Turkey and Azerbaijan for his contribution to the series. Kanal 7 organised a meet and greet event for the Turkish and Azerbaijani fans of the show.[15] In a 2019 interview with Sphere Origins, Sachdev was asked about the challenge of the series, and he stated that it was difficult to portray an anti-hero role with domestic violence elements while showcasing a love story at the same time.[16][17][18]

2015–2019: Continued lead roles

In 2015, Sachdev joined the cast and the final season of the Zee TV social drama series Qubool Hai season 4, portraying Armaan Raza Sheikh, a landowner who has a reputation for being a troublemaker. His wealth and status make him a prominent figure to the public, and he navigates his life with a sense of purpose and determination. Despite his outwardly strong and assertive personality, Armaan's emotions are revealed through his relationships and personal struggles. He is driven by a deep sense of responsibility and is often seen trying to protect and support those he cares about after his family is threatened.[19]

Sachdev played Dr. Amit Geol in the Colors TV drama series Balikha Vadhu - Lahme Pyaar Ke in 2016. Dr. Amit Geol is a surgical doctor who takes his work with great pride. He is highly skilled, qualified, knowledgeable, and known for his attention to detail. This was his third television project with the production company, Sphere Origins.[20] Sachdev talked about the coincidence about receiving offers in sequels and joked about being the “sequel king”. In an interview with ABP News, he expressed that playing a doctor in a television series was difficult because of the lack of time to learn about the profession. He added that, in contrast, film roles provide more time to study the characters in-depth and attend workshops to gain familiarity. Sachdev also revealed that he formed a newfound appreciation for doctors because of their routinely intense work.[21] In 2017, he played as the software engineer, Avinash Dubey in the Star Bharat drama series Ayushman Bhava

In 2019, Sachdev starred in the &TV supernatural drama series Main Bhi Ardhangini as Madhav Singh Thakur. Madhav carries a burden of grief and guilt due to the tragic loss of his beloved wife. He is strongly devoted to his wife's memory and his determined to protect his family from harm. Throughout the series, Madhav's journey is marked by emotional waves as he battles with his past and navigates the present challenges. His character evolves over time after he finds a sense of comfort from his childhood friend. Madhav showcases layers of vulnerability, strength, and resilience as he seeks redemption and closure amidst the mysteries and supernatural elements surrounding his life. Main Bhi Ardhagini was filmed in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Speaking about his experience working on the show, Sachdev claimed that shooting in Jaipur is more relaxed than the fast-paced shooting atmosphere in Mumbai.[22][23][24]

2021 to present:

In 2021, he made his first web series appearance in a minor role as Vivek on the Pocket Films romantic comedy series ‘’Suraj aur Saanjh’’. He also appeared in a short film, Make Her Happy, where he played Rahul. Sachdev dubbed in Hindi for actors Sivakarthikeyan in Doctor and Dhanush in Vaathi.[25][26]

In 2022, Sachdev shot a trailer promo for a Pratilipi FM horror thriller podcast, Chakia Ki Dayan with his former co-star, Shrenu Parikh. Avinash Sachdev plays the role of a determined and clever man who becomes central to the unfolding mystery in the village of Chakia. He is characterized by his intellectual nature to uncover the truth behind the supernatural events linked to the legend of the Dayan (witch). As a brave and intelligent figure, he is driven by a sense of duty to protect the villagers from the hostile forces that seem to trouble them. His journey is marked by his relentless pursuit of answers, often putting himself in danger to confront the mysterious and unsettling occurrences head-on.[27][28]
