Santosh[1] was born on 19 September 1976. He is an engineering graduate from PSG Tech, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
Career
His desire to learn 'the performing art' made him enroll in a workshop conducted by Amol Palekar and Bhakti Barve in 1998. Following that, he joined Pandit Satyadev Dubey's free workshops and soon started performing in plays. His tryst with genius playwright-director Makarand Deshpande started as a backstage artist for his play Vasanth Ka Teesra Youvan. Since then, he has been an integral part of Deshpande's Ansh Theatre Group doing three plays — Saa Hi Besura, Ek Kadam Aage and Sakharam Binder Ki Khoj Mein Hawaldar.
According to Santosh:
"Theater to me is 'Riyaaz' and so I will continue pursuing it. In movies, a character ends as soon as the closing credits show up. But in theatre, a character lives and dies with every show. We can experiment with the character. Every show gives the actor the opportunity to live the character. One can see the happiness, sadness and various other emotions in audience's eyes. Theater is a complete visual and aural experience of performing art. I just love to be a part of this world".
In 2009, he received wide appreciation for his work as Giri Reddy, a porn-obsessed office colleague in the Shimit Amin directed and Ranbir Kapoor starrer Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year. In addition to film and theatre, he has worked in TV commercials and his sole work in a short film VAAPSI won the award for the Best Short Film in MAMI, Mumbai.
