Hemant Dhome (born 21 March 1986) is an Indian filmmaker and actor known for his works in Marathi Cinema.
Dhome was born on 21 March 1986 in Pune, to a Marathi family. [1] He fell in love with actress Kshitee Jog while on Saavdhaan Shubhamangal play rehearsals. The couple got married in a private ceremony on 10 December 2012 at their home in Pune. [2]
Dhome began his acting career in 2010 with a role in the Marathi ensemble romantic family drama film Kshanbhar Vishranti , directed by Sachit Patil, where he starred opposite Kadambari Kadam. [3] The film was not received well at the box office but gained popularity through repeated television broadcasts. [4] After a gap of a year, in 2012, he played the lead opposite Anushka Dandekar in the drama Jai Jai Maharashtra Majha. [5] [6] While the film had a patriotic theme, The Times of India review was critical of Dhome’s performance. [7] That same year, he began his journey as a writer with Aditya Sarpotdar’s romantic musical Satrangi Re, marking his first major contribution off-screen. [8]
The following year, he played a brief role in Mangalashtak Once More , a romantic drama that explored the intricacies of married life. [9]
In 2014, he featured in two comedy films—Hututu and Aandhali Koshimbir . In Kanchan Adhikari's Hututu, he portrayed a carefree, irresponsible youth who prioritized pleasure over responsibility, often clashing with his father's values and resisting the idea of sacrificing his freedom for family happiness. [10] [11] Aandhali Koshimbir, which revolved around the generational gap between parents and children, was critically acclaimed. [12] The Times of India reviewer praised Dhome's performance, noting that "Hemant delivers punch lines with ease." [13]
In 2015, Dhome took on a negative role in the romantic comedy Online Binline , a love triangle featuring Siddharth Chandekar and Rutuja Shinde. [14] The film explored the dynamics of modern relationships and digital romance, focusing on how two friends fall for the same girl through online interactions. [15] [16] Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India wrote, "Dhome finally gets a role that not just gives him scope to display his comic timing (which, he does remarkably well) but also gives him the opportunity to show his acting acumen." [17]
