Career

[edit]

Ketkar earned a Masters of Engineering Management in Sydney, Australia. He worked as a duty manager at Olympic gold-medalist Ian Thorpe's swimming school in Australia.[6] While in Sydney, he took part in Marathi plays and musical programs organized by cultural groups.[7] Upon completing his education and on returning to India, he decided to indulge in performing arts, which had been only his hobby up till then. He joined "Sudarshan Rangamanch", a theatre group in Pune where he landed his first role in the play Purnaviram, which was directed by Pramod Kale and written by Sachin Kundalkar.[8] He then auditioned for Marathi television shows and debuted as Kailash on ETV Marathi's daily soap Kalay Tasmay Namah, where he played grandson of Vikram Gokhale. He also did a negative character of Aniket Gaydhani in the serial Swapnanchya Palikadle that aired on Star Pravah.

Ketkar's biggest break came in 2013 with the Zee Marathi's daily soap Honar Soon Mi Hya Gharchi where his lead role as Shreerang 'Shree' Gokhale made him popular.[9] In 2013, at the Zee Marathi Awards, Ketkar received the "Best Actor" and "Best Couple" award.[10] In 2015, the show's lead characters Shree and Janhavi started trending on social networks and WhatsApp as Janhavi's famous dialogue in the show "Kahihi ha Shree!", which she regularly repeats, became popular.[11][12]

In 2014, he played the role of Mangesh Kadam and Leena Bhagwat's son in the play Goshta Tashi Gamtichi, for which he won the Best Supporting Actor (Commercial Plays) at the 2015 Akhil Bhartiya Natya Parishad Awards.[13][14] In 2015, his first single "Yaara" was released by Sagarika Musics. The romantic-single is co-sung by Deepika Jog and the video also features Ketkar.[15]
