Sanjay Suri was born on April 6th, 1971, in Srinagar, Kashmir.Sanjay spent the first 19 beautiful years of his life there. He is the youngest of three siblings, having an older brother, named Raj Suri, and sister,Vasundara.

His Height is 5 ft 9 inches (175 cms),Weight is 71kgs,Chest is 41 inches (104 cms), Waist is 31 inches (78. cms),Shoe Size is 8, Hair is black and eye color is Dark-Brown.His love for the mountains or need just to be close to nature is a result of spending his childhood and growing up years in the beautiful valley. All through school and college life he participated in camping and trekking trips to the Himalayas. Going for long treks for two weeks or more in the mountains was one of his favorite hobbies .

When he was in class 6, his elder brother Raj introduced him to squash and in just two years time Sanjay was in the Sub Junior Squash team of J&K and later went on to represent the state in Junior national championships as well.
When he was in Class VIII, he wanted to be in the Army. Two years later, it was a career in the Navy that he wanted to pursue! By the time he was in Class XII, he decided he wanted to be a sportsman. However, fate had different plans for him. After moving to New Delhi in 1990 Sanjay started modeling. In 1993, after a stint in Garment/Home furnishing business, was the time when he first stepped into the glare of the arc lights.

In an introspective mood, Sanjay sometimes thinks that his joining the film industry has something to do with trying to regain that lost identity when he moved from Srinagar ‘Kashmir’ to Delhi. Sanjay and his family became migrants in their own country and they were called ‘refugees’. His father was killed by the terrorists and they had to leave their home town Srinagar in less than 5 hours with their father's dead body. The incident,occurred in 1990 on August 1st,and wiped out 19 years of his life in one swipe.

Sanjay recalls the incident still now with a vacant, distant look in his eyes. This move was forced on his family because of the insurgency and terrorism taking over and shattering the tranquility of beautiful Kashmir.

Sanjay moved to Delhi, where his extended family gave him immense support and love.
Then started the slow and often painful process of restoring their lives to some semblance of normalcy.according to Sanjay he got all his strength from his mother who inspite of losing her her husband, her house, her business and 49 years of her life in just a few minutes had gathered herself to be his inspiration and strength.

He went back to Jammu in 1991 just to complete his graduation. Back in Delhi he worked in an export house, and finally set up his own small business. To supplement his income, Sanjay started modeling and that’s when he moved to Mumbai. Sanjay anchored a travel show and also worked in a T.V. serial in Mumbai.

In 1999, came his first film Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi . Although the movie flopped, Sanjay was noticed. With his next films, Daman, Filhaal, and the musical Dil Vil Pyaar Vyar Sanjay proved his mettle as a fine actor. In Pinjar co-starring Urmila Matondnakar he got rave reviews but it wasn't until Jhankaar Beats later that year that he became popular. His role alongside Juhi Chawla was greatly appreciated in a truly unique film.Despite the failure of his films, his performances continued to be appreciated. In 2005 he proved all his detractors wrong when he delivered a knockout performance in My Brother Nikhil, as a homosexual AIDS victim, once again co-starring Juhi Chawla. The movie received unanimous praise among Indian film critics.

Soon Sanjay started acting in films that were later critically acclaimed and he got the tag of ‘the thinking Actor’.is choice of films set him apart from his contemporaries.

Sanjay married his psychologist girlfriend, Ambika from Delhi in November 2001. He laughs and says, "I am her first case study and quite frankly enjoy being so!".

Sanjay loves both the mountains and the beaches. His favourite holiday destination is Goa.He also enjoys traveling and has recently developed a love for photography after his brother gifted him his first Nikon camera. He loves to indulge in his latest hobby, travel photography.

In his free time he enjoys cooking, watching movies, being with family and friends. He is keenly interested in philosophy and spirituality. Sanjay was introduced to meditation in 1990 and he swears by it.

Sanjay became a producer with his first production, “My brother…Nikhil’. Acting and producing at the same time with limited resources was a challenge. After the film’s release he has startedtaking a personal interest in spreading HIV/Aids awareness.
