Sagar Tugnait is steadily building a reputation in both the fitness and entertainment industries, transitioning from a successful powerlifting career to acting roles across Bollywood films and OTT productions. The Delhi-based athlete-turned-actor has emerged as one of the newer faces attempting to balance competitive sports and mainstream entertainment simultaneously.

Coming from a family associated with strength sports, Sagar is the son of Som Tugnait and grew up immersed in competitive fitness culture.
