Randeep Hooda (pronounced [rɳd̪iːp huːɖaː]; born 20 August 1976) is an Indian film actor who appears in Hindi-language films. Hooda was born in Rohtak, Haryana; he studied at the Motilal Nehru School at Sonepat, where he began acting in school productions. He later pursued a postgraduate degree in human resource management in Melbourne, Australia, and on his return to India began modelling and acting in stage productions.Hooda made his Bollywood debut in Monsoon Wedding in 2001, garnering praise for his performance. However, little recognition came his way as he had to wait for four years for his next project, Ram Gopal Varma's D (2005), which too failed to attract much attention. He then appeared in a spate of critically and commercially unsuccessful projects. A turning point came in his career when he starred in the commercially successful Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), and was subsequently noted for his performance in Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster (2011), which earned him an IIFA Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination. Hooda's starring roles in subsequent thrillers Jannat (2012), Jism 2 (2012), and Murder 3 (2013) brought him a slightly higher degree of commercial success. Wikipedia
