Chetan Kumar (Kannada: ಚೇತನ್ ಕುಮಾರ) (born 24 February 1983),[1] also known as Chetan Ahimsa, is an American Kannada-language film actor. Chetan made his on-screen debut in the 2007 cult classic film Aa Dinagalu, which earned him the Udaya Film Award for Best Debut Actor Male. His most recent success came in the 2013 hit film Myna, for which his performance received strong critical acclaim.
Chetan was born and brought up in Chicago, Illinois, US. He finished high school as the valedictorian at Marist High School, Chicago. His parents, both doctors working in the US, are originally from Karnataka, India. Chetan Kumar married his long-time partner Megha on 2 February 2020.[2] Their wedding ceremony, which was held in an orphanage,[3] received praise for innovative initiatives such as a plantable (seed paper) invitation card, marriage vows presided by a transgender activist, and gifting the 'Indian Constitution' to all guests.[4][5][6] One of his tweets regarding a high court justice of the Karnataka High Court sparked controversy.[7]
