Rajesh Kumar is known by his screen name Rosesh Sarabhai. The actor received immense appraisal for his stint with comedy as Rosesh in Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai. He debuted in the year 1999 with Star Bestsellers. Acting happened to him coincidently. After graduating in History Honours from Hindu College (Delhi University), he was eyeing the civil services. But destiny had something else in store for him. He was in Mumbai to stay with his sister for two months when he took up theatre. Strangely enough his first stint with acting happened when he was in Nursery Standard. Later Rajesh decided to do Mass Communication from Xaviers’ College Mumbai. But the interview and the first day of the shoot for Star Bestsellers coincided and Rajesh had to choose between the two. Rajesh decided to do Star Bestsellers as the shooting would have fetched him Rs1000. Rajesh says, “I had a liking for acting but I never thought of taking it up as a profession.” Rajesh has been receiving compliments for all his roles but mostly for his Rosesh act. He remembers an old couple complimenting him and even comparing him with legendary Mehmood.

Rajesh lives in Mumbai and is married to TV actress Madhavi. Rajesh also enjoys reading and is a keen reader of thrillers. “A James Hadley Chase novel gives me a huge thrill. But my first love always remains outdoor games. I am a National level baskekball player but was forced to give it up due to a spinal problem. Though now I do swim regularly.”
