Nikitin Dheer
Dheer made his acting debut in 2008 with Ashutosh Gowariker's historical drama Jodhaa Akbar, in which he starred alongside Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, as Sharifuddin Hussain, Akbar's brother-in-law.  Although the film received critical acclaim and box office success, Dheer received praise for his role, with noted critic Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama calling it "fantastic".
