It’s Niranjan BS aka Rishi from Kamali’s birthday today! There is no doubt that this actor is an excellent performer on-screen. Like most artistes, he never intended to come in front of the camera but we guess fate had other plans for him. Here are a few things that you probably did not know about the actor, that will blow your mind.

1. Niranjan intended on being part of the Indian Army, for which he began his journey by joining the National Cadet Corps (NCC), during his school and college days. He also trained for the same for around eight years.

3. Niranjan was unable to join the army due to a severe accident that he met with. Post that incident, he tried his hand at being a radio and video jockey, which then gave him opportunities to work in short films.

4. Kamali is his fourth project on television. A lot of people are not aware of the same, as he gained all the fame, particularly for his role as Rishi on the show. He made his debut in Gandhari, and then Nandini, which had been telecast in four different languages, including Kannada.

5. Niranjan’s not just a chocolate boy but is an avid sportsman. He’s not only a  state-level volleyball and kabaddi player but also a swimmer.
