Born in a working-class family in Ghanaur Khurd in Punjab, India on 26 December 1983, to mother Joginder Kaur and father Labh Singh, he is the youngest among his four siblings.

Eventually, his father gave up the trade and began working as a laborer in the sugar mill at Dhuri, carrying his tiffin box and commuting by bicycle.

This shift ensured the continuity of his children’s education, as the steady salary from the sugar mill began to provide financial stability.

He started getting some early sculpting commercial work in the third year of college itself, “I met many kind people, who were always ready to help, promote and encourage me.

Their early work included creating realistic silicone props like a severed head and a pregnancy belly for Richa Chadha’s character.

He draws significant inspiration from Stan Winston, a legendary figure in special effects known for his work on films like Jurassic Park and Edward Scissorhands.

Winston’s groundbreaking ability to create lifelike creatures and characters through prosthetics and special effects deeply influenced Dhuri.
