1. Hunterrr:

Gulshan made the character of a sex addict Mandar memorable through his natural performance. Although an adult comedy, Gulshan’s clarity on the character made sure that Mandar was presented aesthetically in the movie.

He plays the role of Karan Chaudhary, also known as KC, a spoiled brat who belongs to a rich family. This was one of the first movies in which Gulshan was noticed and got acclaimed as a credible actor. His portrayal of the character’s eccentric nature was what fans adored him for.

3. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela:

As Bhavani, a member of the Jadeja clan, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Gulshan proved he can convincingly portray grey characters as well. The audience loved to hate him for being one of the biggest hurdles in the love story of the lead characters.
