Personal life

He was born in Ropar and raised in Delhi in a Punjabi Hindu Brahmin family originally from Gujranwala who migrated in 1947 during Partition of India. Although his parents wished for him to pursue a career in engineering, he moved to Chandigarh in 1972 and served in the Punjab Police department while pursuing a career in acting after developing a love for theater.

Career

He began his acting career with a negative character in Jalandhar Doordarshan's Punjabi soap Jeb Katre in 1985. His first movie was Vaisakhi, which was a hit. He acted as a recurring and different character in hit series Flop Show in 1989. He later collaborated with Jaspal Bhatti in other ventures like Ulta Pulta and Full Tension. He had a minor role in anti corruption comic film Mahaul Theek Hai followed by major roles in over 70 Punjabi films. His recent hits include Jatt and Juliet, the quasi-sequel Jatt and Juliet 2 and Carry on Jatta. Sharma won the Best Actor in a Comic Role award at the PTC Punjabi Film Awards.
He has been acclaimed by directors for the perfection he puts in his work.
"I was so fascinated by acting that I wanted to become a part of it at any cost," Sharma told Punjabi Mania. "I remember when I was a kid, I used to buy a flute from a balloon seller and play it. Now I realize that it was an art. As my father was quite rigid I had to take the extreme step and now with the hard work and love of all I am doing well."
During an interview with Punjabi Mania, Sharma also stated: "I just think that the Punjab government must do something fruitful for Punjabi cinema too like they are doing in promotion of sports which is a good thing too. Punjabi cinema is doing wonders now and our government must contribute something to make it internationally renowned."
