Bhardwaj graduated from the University of Glasgow with a master's degree in Social Science in 1996.

[2] After progressing to become a political reporter at the station, Bhardwaj headed to London to work as a sports journalist for Sky News and Sky Sports. He rejoined the Scotland Today team in 2001, after being offered a job as sports reporter and occasional sports presenter for the programme.

He also presented STV's coverage of UEFA Euro 2020 with matches involving Scotland.
