"The Dynamic Face of Marathi & Hindi Entertainment Industry"
"Do not follow others blindly; set your own goals. Always look good, feel good, and spread positivity."
— Ketan Pendse
Ketan Pradip Pendse was born in Solapur, Maharashtra. Coming from a Marathi-medium educational background, he proved that language and roots are never barriers when talent meets relentless hard work.
A Computer Engineering graduate from MIT Kothrud College (First Class with Distinction), Ketan chose passion over convention — stepping into the entertainment world first as a model before evolving into an acclaimed actor, director and producer.
For over 11 years, he has been the dynamic face of independent Marathi and Hindi cinema, collaborating with international co-stars and appearing on premier OTT platforms including ZEE5, Amazon Prime, ABC Talkies and VdoJar.
