Pulkit Samrat

Pulkit Samrat (born 29 December 1983) is an Indian actor who primarily works in Hindi films along with Hindi television. Best known for playing "Hunny" in the Fukrey film series, Samrat made his acting debut with the series Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (2006) and made his film debut with Bittoo Boss (2012). He is a recipient of an Indian Telly Award. Samrat had his first commercial success with Fukrey (2013). His highest grossing release came with Jai Ho (2014). This success was followed with a string of failures including Dolly Ki Doli (2015) and Sanam Re (2016), causing a setback. He later received praises for starring in Fukrey Returns (2017), 3 Storeys (2018) and Taish (2020). His highest grossing release came with Fukrey 3 (2023). In addition to his acting career, Samrat is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products. Samrat is married to actress Kriti Kharbanda.
