Chandresh Gandhi

Chandresh Gandhi (Hindi/Marathi: चंद्रेश गांधी; Cantonese: 錢德拉什·甘地 Jyutping: cin2 dak1 laai1 sam6 gam1 dei6) was an Indian actor, voice actor and former sound designer/editor. He was the fifth and youngest son of lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist.

Bio
Chandresh was born on 31 January 1943 in Kolhapur, Maharashtra.

On 30 January 1948, the day before his 4th birthday, Chandresh was horrified by the news of the assassination of his father. The incident left him in despair and draumatized, but his brother Vishnu Gandhi, who would go on to become also a sound designer/editor 58 years later, tells him not to despair and has to take good care of him, making the latter his older brother. They attended their father's funeral.

In 1950, at the age of 6, Chandresh entered the world of cinema by starting his career as a child actor. From 1950 to growing up as an adult, he has acted more than 500 Indian family, comedy and drama films.

In 1970, having lost their older brother Ramdas, Chandresh and Vishnu moved to Bombay (now Mumbai) to find their peaceful apartment. In October 1983, Chandresh joined Puar Post Sound to start his sound design career. Vishnu followed 23 years later.

On 25 October 2004, in favor of going to a foreign country, Chandresh left the company and went to Hong Kong to join Wong Sound Effects Studio. Having worked in over 100 movies, he left Wong Sound Effects Studio to go back to India, but would continue his acting and voice acting career until his death on 3 January 2023.
