For his higher studies, he went to Melbourne, Australia and studied Marketing for his graduation and Business Management and Human Resource Management for his post graduation.
Hooda’s stay in Australia helped him significantly in his acting career. His Australian accent helped him bag the role of an NRI in his debut film ‘Monsoon Wedding’. Four years later, he played the lead role in Ram Gopal Verma’s gangster film ‘D’. The film was not very successful commercially but he got noticed for his acting talent.
Thereafter, the 5’ 11” hunk starred in a number of films which were not commercial earners, but they helped Hooda evolve as an actor. He acted in films like ‘Darna Zaroori Hai’, ‘Risk’, ‘Ru Ba Ru’, ‘Rang Rasiya’, and ‘Karma Aur Holi’, etc. which failed to make a mark at the box office.
Randeep Hooda then played the role of an ACP in Milan Luthria’s superhit film ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai’. The film won many awards and nominations at important ceremonies and paved the way for more offers for the actor. His next film ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’ received a favorable response from the critics and earned many nominations in various categories.
‘Jannat 2’ and ‘Cocktail’ also featured Hooda in supporting roles. His upcoming films include ‘Jism 2’ opposite Sunny Leone, ‘Heroine’ with Kareena Kapoor, and ‘Murder 3’.
Besides films, Randeep Hooda came into the limelight because of his relationship with Sushmita Sen, with whom he eventually broke up. He is now engaged to actress Neetu Chandra, and the two plan to tie the knot soon.
