Born on 21 October 1991, Anuj Pandit Sharma is an Indian film and Television actor. He is best known for his work in the Bollywood film ‘Koi... Mil Gaya’. One of the most entertaining and memorable parts of the movie was Bittu Sardar, the friend to Hrithik Roshan's character Rohan.
On completion of 17 years of Koi... Mil Gaya, Anuj previously talked about how much fun he had on the movie sets with his co-stars. In an earlier interview with Mirror Online, he said, “I remember we were shooting in Canada and we were there for shooting two songs – Jaadu and In Pannchiyon Ko Dekhkar. That time, post pack up, Hrithik bhaiya used to take all of us out for snacks and ice cream. This had become an everyday ritual and it was amazing how he handled the kids. His focus was always there as an actor but he also managed to look after us which is commendable."
Very few people are aware that Anuj played the same role as ‘Koi... Mil Gaya’ in a television show titled ‘Apun Toh Bas Vaise Hi’ with actor Satish Shah. He mentioned in the same interview that Rakesh Roshan saw him on the show and made the decision to give him a chance in the movie.
