In Mumbai people know me as VIDUR, but my real name is KAMAL NAYAN CHATURVEDI. My birth place is DEORIA, U.P. INDIA. I did my post graduation in ENGLISH LITERATURE from ALLAHABAD UNIVERSITY, U.P., INDIA.

While still in the university, I lost my father. After finishing my studies I came to DEORIA, U. P. INDIA, and started managing my properties. I did some social work for 5 years and finally moved to MUMBAI in 1989.

In MUMBAI, I was active in theatre briefly. First I worked with Mr. Dinesh Thakur in plays like " AAZAR KA KHWAB " and " TUGHLAQ " and then formed my own group " VAGARTH " and staged a play, " KABIRA KHADA BAZAR MEIN " at CHHABILDAS HALL, DADAR, MUMBAI, INDIA.

Then I started my career as an acting trainer. I joined Ashha Chandra Classes and then worked with Mr. Kishore Namit Kapoor in his acting lab in MUMBAI, PUNE, BENGALURU and NASHIK. In 2005 I started my own acting institute KREATING CHARAKTERS with two of my friends Mr. Samar Jay Singh and Mr. Roopesh Thapliyal.

I am the only acting trainer in India, who has privately groomed, apart from actors, many BEAUTY PAGEANT PARTICIPANTS, AIR HOSTESSES and CHAT SHOW/ GAME SHOW ANCHORS. My students are working in all the departments of FILM MAKING.

I am co-author of the first book on acting in Hindi " SWAYAM VADYA SWAYAM VADAK ", published in 2004. And in 2008, I wrote a booklet on diction " BHASHA AUR UCHCHARAN ".

In 2006, I co-directed a MARATHI feature film " BHAKTI HEECH KHARI SHAKTI " starring ASHOK SARAF and ALKA KUBAL. It was released in 2007.
