The very talented and gifted actor Sudhir Dalvi has carved a niche for himself in the world of acting by means of powerful roles like that of `Sai Baba`. He got the chance to play the mythological character of Sai Baba way back in the year 1977. That time the film did not do well as most of the people were unaware of the existence of such a great saint. He again played the role in the movie of Vikas Kumar on the same subject in the year 2000 but this time it was a huge hit with the audience, as the sacred pilgrimage Shirdi was known almost all across the globe. To him this portrayal holds a special significance as it embodies the eternal truth in the simplest possible terms.

Recently he is again back on the small screen featuring in all the 104 episodes of an episodic religious soap `Shirdi Sai Baba` and portrays all the miracles of the saint. Sudhir Dalvi is also a stanch believer of the great saint and claims that he wants the message of the saint to reach everyone through this soap and that people should try to bring patience in their real life and also follow his teachings to be a good human being. This actor has also done the character portrayal of the oldest member of the Virani household in the most popular Balaji soap `Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi`. He has also done a play called `Sabse Bada Rupaiya` which has been done in Gujrati and is a super hit with the audience. Like his son, he also believes in the present, as he knows the past and he hates to worry about the future. It was his wife who pursued him to play the role of Sai Baba and also said that he will gain much name and fame after this portrayal and it proved to be true in his case. He will also present a show titled `Baba ke gyarah vachan` or `the saint`s eleven assurances`. He is also loved by his fans for his brilliant performance of his in this roles and almost sees the reincarnation of the saint in him.
