Actor Anup Soni recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he revisited an old photograph, reflecting on a raw and exciting phase of life filled with growth and learning.
Anup shared a throwback image on Instagram, showcasing himself with a moustache from his younger days. He captioned the post, “Flashback Friday—Found this picture and it instantly took me back to a time when everything felt raw, uncertain, and beautifully honest.”
He added, “No filters, no rush, just the quiet excitement of learning, growing, and trusting the journey one day at a time. Some moments don’t age; they simply stay with you, reminding you where you started and why you began. #flashbackfriday #flashblack #Friday #actingmypassion #actorlife.”
Anup, married to actress Juhi Babbar, began his career with notable roles in television serials like Sea Hawks and Saaya. After a brief hiatus from television, he transitioned to cinema, appearing in films like Kharaashein: Scars From Riots, Hum Pyar Tumhi Se Kar Baithe, and Hathyar in 2003. In 2004, he featured in Ashoke Pandit’s film Sheen but eventually returned to television with CID: Special Bureau.
He continues to balance his work in both film and television and has previously been part of the popular serial Crime Patrol. Last month, he expressed his enthusiasm for his role in ‘CID Special Bureau’ by sharing pictures from the crossover universe that featured iconic characters Daya and Abhijeet, played by Dayanand Shetty and Aditya Srivastava, respectively.
Anup, who took center stage as ACP Ajaatshatru in the spin-off, wrote, “Flashback Friday to an unforgettable phase when CID and CID Special Bureau stood as two powerful forces within the same universe. CID was already a cult show led by ACP Pradyuman with Daya and Abhijeet, and I had the honour of leading the Special Bureau as ACP Ajaatshatru. Episodes like this, where both units joined hands, had a different thrill altogether. The energy, the teamwork, and the passion were unmatched. Truly timeless memories from an iconic time. #cid #cidspecialbureau #bpsingh #sonytv #iconic #tvseries #pradeepuppoor.”
Anup was last seen in the Netflix series Saare Jahan Se Accha, which follows a resilient Indian spy as he faces his counterpart across the border in a gripping battle of wits and tradecraft to sabotage a nuclear program.
