Jackky Bhagnani is an Indian Bollywood actor. He is the son of Indian producer Vashu Bhagnani. He made his acting debut in 2009 with Kal Kissne Dekha and then appeared in a moderate success F.A.L.T.U in 2011. He was last seen in movie Welcome to Karachi.

Bhagnani was born in Kolkata, West Bengal in India to a Sindhi family. He studied in Welham Boys School and St.Teresa's High School. Post schooling, he chose to acquire a Degree in Commerce from H.R. College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai. He has also done an acting course from Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.

Jackky's debut film was Kal Kissne Dekha which came out in 2009. The movie received mostly negative reviews and was unsuccessful at the box office. Taran Adarsh, writing for Bollywood Hungama, noted that "the film lacks the fun that one normally associates with a campus fare. Even the climax leaves a lot to be desired."

In April 2011, he starred in F.A.L.T.U. The film received mixed reviews and did modestly well at the box office. In May 2015, Jackky revealed that a sequel to the movie has been planned.

In 2012, Ajab Gazabb Love was released but was a non-starter at the box office.

Rangrezz, directed by Priyadarshan, was released in 2014. It garnered excellent reviews and featured Jackky Bhagnani dancing to Psy's "Gangnam Style". The rights to the song were bought by Jackky's father Vashu Bhagnani, also the producer of the film, for an undisclosed sum. Despite this, the film failed to leave a mark at the box office.

Jackky's next film was Youngistaan, a love story set against the backdrop of Indian politics. Released in 2014, the movie was panned by critics and was a commercial failure.
