[3] He is married to Avantika Ghatge who was formerly working as head of department of Fine Arts at the Daly College in Indore and together they have a daughter Umikaa Ghatge, who studied at the Daly College and is a freelance content writer.
After doing B.Com Honours (Management) from Sydenham College of Commerce, Bombay Vijayendra graduated in acting course from the FTII, Pune.
Ghatge started his film career with a supporting role in Rajshri Productions' 1976 Hindi film Chitchor . Directed by Basu Chatterjee, the film was a box office "Superhit". [4] Thereafter, he did various supporting roles in films like Kasme Vaade (1978), Tere Pyar Mein , Prem Rog (1982) and Razia Sultan (1983). In the mid-1980s, Ghatge began appearing in television serials. His character role of Lala Vrishbhaan, played in the 1986–87 classic serial Buniyaad made him a household name. [5]
