Danish Pandor started his career as a model before moving into acting, facing the usual struggles of auditions and industry pressures.

He has openly spoken about experiencing the casting couch pressure in the entertainment industry, highlighting the challenges faced by newcomers.

Before his fame in Dhurandhar (2025), he had already worked in television series, OTT shows, and films, though these roles did not bring him mainstream recognition.

His portrayal of Uzair Baloch, a Karachi mobster in Dhurandhar, earned him critical acclaim despite having limited screen time, proving his ability to leave a strong impact.

Pandor’s performance was praised for being restrained yet electrifying, standing out even in a film led by Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar.

He became a viral sensation on social media after the film’s release, with audiences and critics calling him one of the surprise standouts.

His journey reflects resilience, as he transitioned from modeling to acting and steadily built his career across different platforms before achieving recognition.
