[edit] Bollywood

1999 witnessed Sanjay's breakthrough in Bollywood with a supporting role in the movie Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, co-starring Rinke Khanna and Dino Morea. Although the movie flopped, Sanjay was noticed. With his next films, Daman, Filhaal, and the musical Dil Vil Pyaar Vyar Sanjay proved his mettle as a fine actor. In Pinjar co-starring Urmila Matondnakar he got rave reviews but it wasn't until Jhankaar Beats later that year that he became popular. His role alongside Juhi Chawla was greatly appreciated in a truly unique film. Slowly he got more roles in movies but his movies flopped continuously. Despite the failure of his films, his performances continued to be appreciated. In 2005 he proved all his detractors wrong when he delivered a knockout performance in My Brother...Nikhil, as a homosexual AIDS victim, once again co-starring Juhi Chawla. The movie received unanimous praise among Indian film critics. The movie fared decently in Mumbai but was a flop elsewhere in India. He will next be seen in Bas Ek Pal, directed by Onir, the same director of My Brother...Nikhil.
