Arjit Taneja belongs to a Punjabi family.[5] He attended modern school, Delhi and was graduated with a BA degree in computer programming at University of Delhi.
In November 2010, he joined the modelling agency Elite Model Management India Pvt. Ltd.[1] 2 years later in mid-2012, Taneja moved from Delhi to Mumbai and began his acting career on television that year as the friend of Karan Kundra's character in Channel V India's V The Serial, produced by Ekta Kapoor.
In 2013 he collaborated with Kapoor on Sony TV's Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, where he had a very small role.[2] Also he contested in MTV India's MTV Splitsvilla 6 and later in Sony TV's Box Cricket League 1, the latter of which was his third with Kapoor.[6]
Breakthrough and establishment (2014–present)[change | change source]
Taneja's career finally saw a turning point when he signed the parallel lead role of Purab Khanna in Zee TV's popular daily soap Kumkum Bhagya, created by Kapoor.[6][7] He won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Zee Gold Awards, and exited the show in 2016. In 2017, Arjit then moved to Indonesia for a few months where he was cast as lead in the Indonesian show ' Nadin ' (ANTV) alongside his former co-star from Kumkum Bhagya Mrunal Thakur and Indonesia Actress Dewi Persik.[8]
Simultaneously along with Kumkum Bhagya, he was seen as Bilal Khan in another Kapoor production—Sony TV's Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do in 2015.[9] In 2016, he did Zing's Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya and participated in Colors TV's Box Cricket League 2 produced by Kapoor.[10]
In February 2018, Taneja began essaying the main character of Vivaan Kapoor in Zee TV's Kaleerein.[11] It went off air in November 2018.[12] In May 2018, he also appeared as a guest in Zee TV's talk show Juzz Baatt with Sana Saeed, Adnan Khan and Karan Jotwani.
His next TV series was Colors TV's love triangle-themed Bahu Begum which premiered in July 2019.[13] In the show Taneja was cast as Azaan Akhtar Mirza, the Nawab of Bhopal.[4] Due to low viewership, Bahu Begum culminated in January 2020.[14]
In January 2021, he bagged the grey-shade cameo role of Farishta, an angel in the supernatural revenge thriller Naagin 5 and reprised the same role in February 2021 for Kuch Toh Hai: Naagin Ek Naye Rang Mein, both of which were aired on Colors TV and created by Kapoor.[3]
