Meet actor, launched by Amitabh, worked with SRK; accident ruined his career, had no work for years

Born in Aligarh, Chandrachur Singh did his schooling at Doon School (Dehradun), and later became a History professor in the same school

After completing his college at St. Stephen's College (Delhi University), Chandrachur also taught music at Vasant Valley School

Chandrachur was inclined to act, but one day he got to know that his idol Amitabh Bachchan was looking for fresh faces to cast in his production ABCL Corp Ltd

Chandrachur convinced his parents, travelled to Mumbai, cracked the auditions, and got his debut film Tere Mere Sapne (1996)

Despite Tere Mere Sapne wasn't a big hit, Singh's act impressed the masses. Thus, he got his next film, Maachis, without any audition

From the 90s to early 2000, Chandrachur went on to star in several films including Daag-The Fire, Josh, Sham Ghansham, and Aamdani Atthani Kharcha Rupaiyaa

In 2000, Chandrachur had an accident while riding a jet ski in Goa. The actor dislocated his shoulder, and he was advised to complete bed rest

Chandrachur's injury dented his career, and he was seen in forgettable films. In 2012, Singh tried to make a comeback in films with Chaar Din Ki Chandni, but it went unnoticed

Chandrachur made a successful comeback with Sushmita Sen's series Aarya (2020). He was also seen in Akshay Kumar's Cuttputli (2022)

Chandrachur was married Avantika, and they have a son, Shraanajai Singh. Chandrachur and Avantika got separated a few years after their marriage, and Singh took responsibility for Shraanajai
