Omi Vaidya Biography

Omi Vaidya is a comic actor of Bollywood most known for the unforgettable role of 3 idiots. His name was ‘Chatur Ramalingam’ (silencer) and his role played the pivot role in making the movie a landmark movie in the history of Indian cinema. 3Idiots holds the records of highest grosser Indian cinema at box office with 300 crore plus Indian rupees. His other movies include Jodi breakers, Dezi boys, Players and Dil to bacha hai jee. Yet none of his roles have been as successful as 3 idiots.

 

It is said that when he was offered the role of Chatur Ramalingam, the director of 3 Idiots, Rajkumar Hirani asked him not to learn Hindi and present Hindi the way he knows, to increase his weight as well. He was also advised to watch any Hindi movies. He was residing at California at that time from early childhood and his Hindi dictation was not good too. His dialogue dictation played a significant role in the comic success of the movie, particularly his speech. That particular scene of changing words of speech and his delivery of message in a fresh style will be remembered forever as one among the best comic scenes ever witnessed by Indian cinema. The comic scenes with serious face and mannerisms were apt too. If he had known Hindi before, perhaps Chatur Ramalingam wouldn’t have been that much successful as he is remembered right now. His accent, body movements as well as dialogue delivery bind audience on to chairs and for this memorable performance, he received many awards and nominations too.  

 

In 2010 screen awards, he won two awards – Promising best actor male as well as best comedian. He won male star debut at IIFA awards and was nominated for comic awards too. He won best supporting actor award at Lions gold awards.

 

After college days, he worked on a few television serials. He worked as an agent for commercials too. It was ‘Arrested department’ for which he got a role first followed by The office. He is a successful television actor.  Vaidya married Minal Patel on August 22, 2009 before the release of 3 Idiots, exactly the same year on December.
