Navin Nischol is a popular Indian actor. He made his debut with the Hindi film Sawan Bhadon in 1970. The film was a superhit and Nischol was constantly in demand for several years. He was also the first gold medalist from the Film and Television Institute of India to make it big. He starred in several superhits. Later on, Nischol switched over to character roles and carved out a successful career for himself in television.

Navin Nischol came into films around the time when there was an enthusiasm for students of FTII, as actors like Shatrughan Sinha, Jaya Bhaduri, Shabana Azmi and many others had stolen the thunder of the more conventional, chocolate-faced actors. Even before he got admission into FTII, the handsome Navin Nischol who had already modelled for 'Will's', had a firm commitment from Mohan Saigal, who was a family friend.

This film turned out to be 'Saawan Bhadon' , also Rekha's debut in Hindi films. It was a hit and at least three careers were made with it: Rekha, Navin and Jayshree T. Like happens with hit pairs, producers signed the two together in films like `Barkha Bahar' but that bombed. Navin's successful phase went on with films like 'Woh Main Nahin', 'Victoria Number 203', 'Dharma', 'Haste Zakham', 'Dhundh' and the very memorable 'Buddha Mil Gaya'. In fact, he was the man who got heroine Yogita Bali into 'Parwana' , in which Amitabh Bachchan played the bad guy.

But his downfall started and Navin went into oblivion till a little later, when with he started doing character roles and TV discovered him. 'Dekh Bhai Dekh' is one of the most popular serials he has done. Life came a full circle when he played a supporting role to Amitabh in 'Major Saab' and a supporting role to Rekha, the heroine of his first film, in 'Aastha'.

On April 24th 2006, his wife committed suicide by hanging at her residence.
