Hemant Dhome


Hemant Dhome is an Indian filmmaker and actor known for his works in Marathi cinema.

Personal life

Dhome was born on 21 March 1986 in Pune, to a Marathi family. He fell in love with actress Kshitee Jog while on Saavdhaan Shubhamangal play rehearsals. The couple got married in a private ceremony on 10 December 2012 at their home in Pune.

Career

Dhome began his acting career in 2010 with a role in the Marathi ensemble romantic family drama film Kshanbhar Vishranti, directed by Sachit Patil, where he starred opposite Kadambari Kadam. The film was not received well at the box office but gained popularity through repeated television broadcasts. After a gap of a year, in 2012, he played the lead opposite Anushka Dandekar in the drama Jai Jai Maharashtra Majha. While the film had a patriotic theme, The Times of India review was critical of Dhome's performance. That same year, he began his journey as a writer with Aditya Sarpotdar's romantic musical Satrangi Re, marking his first major contribution off-screen.
The following year he played a brief role in Mangalashtak Once More, a romantic drama that explored the intricacies of married life.
In 2014, he featured in two comedy films—Hututu and Aandhali Koshimbir. In Kanchan Adhikari's Hututu, he portrayed a carefree, irresponsible youth who prioritized pleasure over responsibility, often clashing with his father's values and resisting the idea of sacrificing his freedom for family happiness. Aandhali Koshimbir, which revolved around the generational gap between parents and children, was critically acclaimed. The Times of India reviewer praised Dhome's performance, noting that "Hemant delivers punch lines with ease."
In 2015, Dhome took on a negative role in the romantic comedy Online Binline, a love triangle featuring Siddharth Chandekar and Rutuja Shinde. The film explored the dynamics of modern relationships and digital romance, focusing on how two friends fall for the same girl through online interactions. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India wrote, "Dhome finally gets a role that not just gives him scope to display his comic timing but also gives him the opportunity to show his acting acumen."
