The actor will celebrate his 84th birthday on April 2. Born in Patna, Bihar, Roshan Seth did not know that when he grew up, he was going to make a mark in Hollywood and Bollywood. The actor’s mother was Anglo-Muslim while his father was Hindu. Born before the partition of the country, Roshan Seth’s father was a professor of biochemistry at Patna Medical College and wanted to send Roshan abroad for higher education.

In the year 1965, Roshan took training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and worked to improve his art.

While living abroad, he did many theaters and it was from here that his acting foundation got strengthened.
