He made his acting debut,[3] as the male lead in Ashutosh Gowariker's Everest,[4][5][6] where he gets to play an extremely layered character[7] of a celebrated mountaineer[8] called Arjun Sabharwal. He was particularly excited[9] to be represented by the great combo of ace director Ashutosh Gowariker[10][11] and A. R. Rahman, the Oscar-winning music director who has done the background score for Everest.[12] Sahil was recently awarded the Best Fresh Face by the Lion Gold Awards for his extremely appreciated portrayal of Arjun on screen. A sought-after face in the Indian entertainment circuit,[13] he is still waiting to make his right film debut on the big screen.[14] He is the pride[15] of Jammu and an inspiration to many that hard work and perseverance pays off
