Turning 10 this year, Adiv Sharma is already making waves as a young actor on the rise. Hailing from Mission, Adiv’s passion for acting began when he and his younger brother, Joza, started watching Bollywood movies together. Their shared love for cinema sparked a dream that Adiv has been pursuing with determination and talent. Adiv began his formal acting journey with Young Actors HQ, where he trains in group classes and privately with acting coach Jessica Garcia. In early 2024, he signed with Melissa McGihon, a talent agent from Peak Talent Management. His career took off with his debut role as Michael in the Hallmark movie Christmas with the Singhs, directed by Panta Mosleh.The film, starring Ben Hollingsworth and Anuja Joshi, aired over the holidays on the Hallmark Channel and streamed on Peacock, showcasing Adiv’s natural charm on screen. While filming Christmas with the Singhs, Adiv was also busy auditioning for a recurring role in a Netflix series—a challenge he met with success. Currently filming in Vancouver, Adiv is excited to share more about this exciting project when the time is right. When he’s not acting, Adiv enjoys staying active. He’s been playing basketball with L.E.A.D Academy since the age of seven and has trained in Excel Martial Arts since he was four. These activities keep him grounded while he pursues his acting dreams. Adiv’s aspirations include booking more film and commercial roles and combining his love for basketball with his passion for acting. One of his biggest goals is to star in a movie alongside his younger brother, Joza, who is also an aspiring actor. The siblings share a friendly rivalry, often competing for the same roles, which drives Adiv to keep pushing his boundaries. Proud of his South Asian heritage, Adiv is passionate about increasing on-screen representation. With a bright future ahead, he’s excited for what 2025 has in store. Keep an eye on his Instagram @sharmabros2, as this young star continues paving the way for a new generation of actors.
