Sanjeev Bhaskar, OBE (born 31 October 1963) is a British comedian, actor and broadcaster, best known for his work in the BBC Two comedy series ''Goodness Gracious Me'' and as host of ''The Kumars at No. 42''. He also presented and starred in a documentary series called ''India with Sanjeev Bhaskar'' in which he travelled to India and visited his ancestral home in today's Pakistan. In 2003, he was listed in ''The Observer'' as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy. ==Personal life== Bhaskar was born in Ealing, London, and grew up living above a launderette〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sanjeev Bhaskar: 'I have issues with inheritance tax. it's odd that you get taxed for dying' )〕 in Hounslow, west London. He earned a degree in marketing from Hatfield Polytechnic before landing a job as a marketing executive at IBM. He soon realised that he preferred comedy to marketing and joined forces with an old college friend, Nitin Sawhney, to start a musical comedy double act called ''"The Secret Indians (non-Asian)"'' which they first performed in 1996 at the now-defunct Tom Allen Arts Centre in East London. This performance was featured on a BBC magazine show called ''Reportage''. They performed extensively also at the Watermans Arts Centre with numerous other acts at a regular Asian comedy night called "One Nation Under a Groove...Innit". Their real break came when they were performing a show at the Oval House venue in South London where, after a strong review in ''Time Out'' magazine by journalist and playwright Bonnie Greer, they were approached by Anil Gupta, the producer of what was to become the BBC sketch series ''Goodness Gracious Me''. In January 2005, Bhaskar married comedian, Meera Syal in a ceremony which took place in Lichfield, Staffordshire. They have a son, Shaan, who was born at the Portland Hospital on 2 December 2005. In February 2009, Bhaskar and other entertainers wrote an open letter to ''The Times'' protesting against the trial of Bahá'í leaders then being held in Iran. Before the 2010 general election, Bhaskar was one of 48 celebrities who signed a letter warning against Conservative Party policy toward the BBC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sanjeev Bhaskar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
