Jagadish was born as the fifth son among six children to K. Parameshwaran Nair and P. Bhasurangi Amma in present-day Chenkal, Neyyattinkara, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. His father was a school headmaster and his mother was a housewife.

[5] [6] He had his primary education from Government Model Boys Higher Secondary School, Thiruvananthapuram. [7] He earned a bachelor's in commerce from Government Arts College, Thiruvananthapuram. [8] Jagadish post-graduated with a Master of Commerce from Mar Ivanios College, Nalanchira, Trivandrum under the University of Kerala with first rank. [9] He worked as a Clerk in Canara Bank, Edappal, Kerala. Later he became a lecturer and NCC officer in M.G. College, Thiruvananthapuram, a college run by NSS. He had also worked as lecturer in Pazhassi Raja N. S. S. College, Mattanur, Kannur. He had dreams of becoming a film actor, so he took a long leave from his job and tried his luck in films.
Jagadish started his film career as a cinematographer with the 1978 film Ahalya . He dubbed for various other actors, normally for short dialogues. As an actor, he debuted with a minor role as a cabaret announcer in My Dear Kuttichathan (1984), which was India's first 3-D film. [10] Jagadish became an established actor with his roles in Mutharamkunnu P.O.

[9] Jagadish's performance as Appukkuttan in In Harihar Nagar (1990), directed by Siddique-Lal, was highly acclaimed. Jagadish proved himself again with terrific comic timing[ citation needed ] with his role as Mayeen kutty in Godfather (1991), which was directed by the same director duo. He continued to play minor roles in high-budget films until 1993–1994. [9] With the success of these movies, Jagadish became one of the popular actors in the early to mid-1990s.[ citation needed ] He acted in the leading role in more than 30 low-budget films, most of which were successes at the box office. He acted in the family-oriented movies Sthree dhanam, Bharya, Ponnaranthottathe Rajavu, and Mr and Mrs. He also acted in the slapstick comedies Pavam IA Ivachan, and Kunukkitta Kozhi . In most movies he shared the hero role with the likes of Mukesh and Siddique. In his prime, he also acted in supporting roles with prominent leading actors. The roles in Butterflies, Minnaminunginum Minnukettu and Jackpot earned applause from the audience.[ citation needed ]
He later appeared in stage shows conducted in foreign countries with his self-mocking stances and improvised dialogues.[ citation needed ]
Jagadish reappeared as Appukkuttan in Harihar Nagar 2 , a sequel to In Harihar Nagar . The film went on to become a hit. He starred in the lead role in Decent Parties .[ citation needed ]
In 2010, he scripted for the film April Fool , which was a commercial failure. After a hiatus, he came back through television programs as a chief judge for the comedy programme Vodafone Comedy Stars in Asianet and anchored the channel's award functions.[ citation needed ] He continued to host more TV shows along with films. [11] He revealed in an interview as his fellow generation of actors were turning to production, he also is planning to direct a movie with Mammootty in the lead role.[ citation needed ]
In 2016, in Ranjith's movie Leela Jagadish played the negative role of a drunkard father which gathered wide appreciation. [12]
Jagadish was married to P. Rema, a forensic professor in the Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, who died on 1 April 2022. [13] The couple has two daughters, both doctors, now married and have children. [14] [15] They are settled at Kaladi, Karamana, Thiruvananthapuram.
