Abhishek Bajaj is an Indian actor and former model who has worked across television, films and web series for over a decade before becoming a household name through reality television. He began with small-screen daily soaps, moved into Bollywood with a Dharma Productions debut, and then reached his widest audience as a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan. His journey inside the house, including a widely reported double elimination, made him one of the most searched television faces of the season.
Because Bajaj’s personal details are reported inconsistently online, this biography separates confirmed facts from disputed ones, including his birth year.

Early Life
Abhishek Bajaj was born on 24 October in New Delhi, India, into a Punjabi family. His father, Parveen Bajaj, has been described in profiles as a Japanese interpreter, and his mother is Anita Bajaj. He grew up in Delhi and was drawn to modelling and performance from a young age.
One detail fans frequently search for is his exact age, and here the public record is genuinely split. Wikipedia lists his birth year as 1992, while several other biography sites list 1991. Both agree on the 24 October birthday, but the year remains disputed. This article therefore does not state a single definitive age: depending on the source, he would be 34 or 35 as of November 2026. His height is more consistent, with most profiles listing him at around 6 feet (183 cm), though at least one outlet lists 5 ft 10 in.
Career
Bajaj started as a model and moved into television in the early 2010s. His acting debut came with Sony Entertainment Television’s Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi, where he played Nitin Mehta, and he gained wider recognition as Ishaan Shergill in Star Plus’s Ek Nanad Ki Khushiyon Ki Chaabi – Meri Bhabhi. He went on to play Rahul Shastri in SAB TV’s Dil De Ke Dekho, and appeared in other serials including Santoshi Maa, Silsila Pyaar Ka and Bitti Business Wali.
His Bollywood break arrived in 2019 with Student of the Year 2, produced by Dharma Productions, in which he played Abhishek Sharma alongside Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday. He followed that with the role of Sandy in the 2021 romantic comedy Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, and then appeared in the 2022 drama Babli Bouncer alongside Tamannaah Bhatia. He also worked in the digital space, with web series including Boys with Toys, NamaCool and Jubilee Talkies, in which he played Ayaan Grover.
The turning point of his public profile came in August 2025, when he entered Bigg Boss 19, the Salman Khan-hosted reality show that premiered on 24 August 2025. Inside the house, Bajaj was known for his fitness, his calm handling of arguments, and his close bond with fellow contestant Ashnoor Kaur, a friendship that drew frequent comment from host Salman Khan during Weekend Ka Vaar episodes. He was also alongside established television names such as Gaurav Khanna.
Bajaj’s Bigg Boss journey ended in a double elimination reported by multiple outlets, including Bollywood Hungama, Zee News and Hindustan Times. According to those reports, host Salman Khan declared Gaurav Khanna and Farrhana Bhatt safe, after which house captain Pranit More was given the power to save one of the remaining nominees and chose Ashnoor Kaur. As a result, Bajaj and Neelam Giri were both evicted, leaving ten contestants in the house as the season moved towards its finale. Bajaj’s exit was emotional: he was seen encouraging Ashnoor before leaving, telling her she had to bring home the trophy.
Personal Life
Bajaj married Akanksha Jindal in 2017 after a relationship of several years, and the two later divorced. He kept the divorce private during his time on Bigg Boss, explaining afterwards that he did not want his former wife to face public scrutiny because of him. In interviews after his eviction, reported by The Times of India, News18 and SCREEN, he described the divorce as mutual and amicable, saying the two had married young and parted ways when things did not work out.
His former wife, Akanksha Jindal, made public allegations during the Bigg Boss season, accusing him of infidelity during their marriage, as reported by Hindustan Times and News18. Bajaj has firmly denied those claims, calling them baseless in his post-eviction interviews and saying that another actor dragged into the discussion, Donal Bisht, was being linked to him for nothing. This article reports both sides as publicly stated and makes no finding on the disputed claims. Fans have also linked Bajaj to Ashnoor Kaur because of their bond inside the house, but neither has publicly confirmed a relationship.
Outside acting, Bajaj is known for his dedication to fitness, and his Instagram handle is @humarabajaj24. He remains based in Mumbai.
Net Worth
Abhishek Bajaj’s net worth is not officially disclosed, and published estimates differ. Outlets covering his finances in 2025 placed it roughly between Rs 3 crore and Rs 6 crore, so any single figure should be treated as an estimate. His income has come from television serials, films, web series, modelling, brand work and fitness-related content, with his Bigg Boss 19 appearance adding a further fee and a large jump in visibility.
Compared with film stars, Bajaj’s earnings reflect a television-first career built over more than a decade rather than a single blockbuster payday. His Bigg Boss stint introduced him to a national audience beyond his existing television following.
