He was known to be a bright student, topping subjects like History and Geography and was also appointed as the school's Head Boy in his twelfth standard.[23] Joshi took part in school plays and other co-curricular activities and was also voted as Mr. MIS (Modern Indian School) before graduating.[24]

Joshi always wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He did his first magazine cover shoot while he was still in school[25] and signed his first movie, Gangster Blues when he was 17.[26]

Career

Before joining films, Joshi had a good reach in social media which led to offers for photoshoots and movies.[27] Joshi was supposed to debut with Saayad 2 but couldn't commit to the project due to his education which is why he had to back out from the film.[28]

After completing his studies he made his debut with Hemraj B.C.'s Gangster Blues opposite Anna Sharma in 2017,[29] a romantic thriller where he played a role of a middle class boy with short temper, Aakash, who due to his influences and situations ends up being a gangster. The movie team went for a concert tour in major cities of Nepal for promotion where they witnessed Joshi's craze.[30] Joshi was praised as a debutant and won the National Award[31] and Lux Kamana Film Award for 'Best Debut Actor' for his performance[32]. The movie did good business and established him as a rising star.[33] The movie's love song, 'Ajambari' went on to become a huge hit with over 20 million views on YouTube till date.[34][35]

In 2019, Joshi again teamed up with Hemraj B.C. for The Break Up opposite Shilpa Maskey, a light hearted romantic comedy movie about casual relationships.[36] He portrayed the character of Aavishkar, a paragliding pilot who wears his heart on his sleeve and has experienced several heartbreaks. The team promoted the movie in various colleges and cities of Nepal.[37] Joshi's performance as the boy next door and its contrast with his debut movie's character was praised but the movie got mixed reviews.[38] One of the songs from the movie, 'Aaja Hamro Bhet Bhako Dina' which was a remake of the old version went on to become a huge hit in platforms like YouTube and TikTok.[39]

Joshi also appeared in Nepal Idol famed singer Bikram Baral's music video 'Galti' with Swastima Khadka. The music video was directed by Fateko Jutta movie famed director, Nikesh Khadka.
