One of the most notable actors, comedians, and film producers, Paresh Rawal, is not only a well-known name in India but in many countries worldwide. Hailing from Mumbai, Rawal started his career in the film industry in 1985 with the movie 'Arjun' as a supporting actor. The next year, he was seen in the blockbuster film 'Naam' that gave him fame and attention in Hindi cinema. After the release of 'Naam', there was no looking back for Rawal.
