'''Gajendra Singh Chauhan''' ({{lang-hi|गजेंद्र चौहान}}) (born 10 October 1956), known professionally as '''Gajendra Chauhan''', is a former supporting television actor known for his work on Indian television, especially his portrayal of [[Yudhishthira]] in the historical television series ''[[Mahabharat (1988 TV series)|Mahabharat]]'' (1988–90). He has also had significant roles in a few [[B movie]]s, and a larger number of [[cameo appearance]]s in other films. In 2015, he was appointed chairman of the [[Film and Television Institute of India]] (FTII), which sparked controversy and opposition by FTII students, leading to his resignation in October 2017.
