Arfi Lamba is an Indian-born actor, producer, entertainer, philosopher, and humanist who has appeared in films, television shows, theatre productions, television commercials, and print advertisements. His acting debut on screen came in 2008 with the film Slumdog Millionaire. He is known for his role in the action-comedy film Singh Is Bliing, directed by Prabhu Deva and co-starring Akshay Kumar, Amy Jackson, Lara Dutta and Kay Kay Menon.
He lives in Mumbai and is now also co-owner and promoter of Bombay Berlin Film Productions, along with Katharina Suckale.
Born in Punjab, India, he attended Thapar University, former Institute of Engineering and Technology, where he pursued a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Before becoming an actor, he worked as an engineer at Engineers India Limited, Delhi and was a part of process designed for refineries.
In 2008, he moved to Mumbai and received his performing arts training from Shri Dinesh Thakur, Mahabano Modi Kotwal and Vinod Nahri of the Ank Theatre Group. To further polish his skills through 2008 to 2015, Lamba participated in workshops in Berlin, Cannes and Mumbai studying acting and dance under Nancy Bishop, Teresa Harder, Karin Seven, Bharti Jaffery, Atul Mongia and Neeraj Kabi.
During the 33rd Cairo International Film Festival he was honored for being a part of the award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire along with Irrfan Khan and Anil Kapoor.
After realising he wanted to be an actor, Lamba gained national exposure when he began acting professionally on the stage. One of his first substantial roles was in the acclaimed musical play Anjor Kaya, a debut production of Prarambh Performing Arts. He garnered recognition for his performances in highly praised Indo-Pakistan partition drama Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, social satirical play Chabi, and murder mystery play Tere Pyar Mein.
In addition to stage roles, Lamba appeared in short films including Shunyata (2007) and A Perfect Murder (2007) and Rohan Sabharwal’s film Shades of Grey, critically acclaimed in London and other short film festival circuits. He played one of the lead roles in the romantic film Prague (in which he portrayed Chandan Roy Sanyal’s alter ego), which received critical acclaim but did not do well at the box office. Lamba played a pivotal role in Kabir Sadanand’s action-comedy film Fugly. His television performance credits include AXN television’s Man’s World episode featuring What men want; and Star Plus’ Prithvi Raj Chauhan - historical costume Drama about a brave Indian prince. He has had appearances in award-winning National College student’s film An Open road with a dead end, and a corporate film for Procter & Gamble.
