Aniruddh Dave has starred in several hit shows in the television industry, including Patiala Babes, Ruk Jaana Nahi, Zindabad, Raajkumar Aaryyan, and Yam Hai Hum. Dave was a key part of Kartik Aryan's Chandu Champion recently. He shared his experience working with Kartik Aryan, breaking into the Bollywood industry, and more in an interview with the popular news portal.

The story of Sumit Arora is much like the protagonist of his latest film "Chandu Champion", whose underlying theme of a small-town boy who dreamed big struck a chord with the screenwriter. Starring Kartik Aaryan in the titular role, “Chandu Champion” is inspired by the life of India's first Paralympic gold medallist Murlikant Petkar.
