Life and career

Sachin Joshi was born in Pune to second wife of Jagdish Joshi, the owner and creator of the JMJ group of Industries.[4] He was unsuccessful in establishing himself in Telugu films, but later began working as an actor in Bollywood to mixed reception.[5] Joshi made his debut in the 2002 Telugu film Mounamelanoyi and went on to star in two more Telugu films, Ninu Chudaka Nenundalenu (2002) and Orey Pandu (2005). He did not star in films again until 2011, when he performed as the titular lead character in the Hindi film Aazaan, which he also co-produced. This marked his debut in Hindi film. Joshi returned to Tollywood with the remake of Aashiqui 2 and reprised the role played by Aditya Roy Kapur in the Hindi version.[6] He co-starred with Nazia Hussain, who made her debut with Aashiqui 2.[7] Joshi was also a lead in the 2013 film Jackpot, in which he starred opposite Sunny Leone and Naseeruddin Shah.[8][9]

His most recent film, 'Amavas', which he self-financed and co stars Nagris Fakhri, opened to extremely poor reviews, has been widely panned by critics for its "mediocre performances and direction." [10][11][12]

Personal life

In February 2012 Joshi married model and actress Urvashi Sharma.[13][14] Sharma later changed her name to Raina Joshi.[15] The couple had two children.[16]

Business

In January 2018 it was widely reported that Joshi bounced a cheque for Rs 40 lakh on business partner Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actress and winner of UK TV reality show, Shilpa Shetty. Kundra has since issued legal proceedings against Joshi for defamation.[17][18][19]

In April 2018, Joshi placed his Viiking Ventures UK company in voluntary liquidation with debts of more than £1m. It was reported that his London-based staff resigned en masse, claiming to be owed 3 months' salary. The company distributed his Goa Premium Beer brand, brewed in Goa by his Impala Brewery, which produced Kings Beer.[20]

Between May 2019 and 2002, Sachiin Joshi again failed to pay salaries totaling over Rs owed to 30 employees at his Viiking Ventures company and his media arm, Think Tank. At the same time Joshi was pledging charitable donations of Rs 3 crore for Covid-19 relief. In response, Joshi - who earlier claimed a lack of funds - accused the 30 staff of fraud. Evidence of the charity gift having been paid, has yet to come to light. [21] [22] [23] [24]
