==Early life and career ==
Sandhu played cricket for over a decade as a fast bowler, but suffered a severe elbow injury, forcing him to give up the game in 2007.<ref name="nie" /> He shifted his focus from sports to singing, took vocal training for eighteen months and performed his first album "This is Harrdy Sandhu" in 2011 composed by V. Grooves.<ref name="nie">{{Cite news |date=22 May 2016 |title=From sports to singing, his spirit is undying |work=The New Indian Express |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/From-sports-to-singing-his-spirit-is-undying/2016/05/22/article3444957.ece |access-date=10 January 2018 |archive-date=9 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160809201519/http://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/From-sports-to-singing-his-spirit-is-undying/2016/05/22/article3444957.ece |url-status=live }}</ref> He released the video of song "Tequilla Shot" from album but the song and album didn't perform so well. He was disappointed and decided to leave singing if his next single track did not perform well. He met lyricist Jaani and Music Director B Praak to make the song named "Soch" which was released in 2013.

He is married to Zenith Sandhu who also featured in the song "Backbone".

He made his debut as an actor with Punjabi movie "Yaaran Da Katchup" in 2014. The movie proved to be average. But he kept giving hits as a singer with tracks such as "Joker","Backbone", "Horn Blow","Yaar Ni Milya" with [[Jaani (songwriter)|Jaani]] and [[B Praak]], which proved to be big hits.

Later in 2017 he released track "Naah" featuring [[Nora Fatehi]], with lyrics by Jaani and music by B Praak. In 2018 after huge success of Naah, he released "Kya Baat Ay" with the same team, which also proved to be a huge hit. Both songs have since crossed 500+ million views on YouTube individually.

In later years, he released some other tracks such as "Superstar", "Dance Like", "Jee Karda", "Titliaan Warga", which were also hits. He also sang some tracks in Bollywood films such as "Chandigarh" from ''[[Good Newwz]]'' and "Naah Goriye" from ''[[Bala (2019 film)|Bala]]''.

He made his Bollywood debut as an actor with sports drama film ''[[83 (film)|83]]'', which is based on India's victorious campaign at the 1983 Cricket World Cup. He played the role of former Team India fast bowler [[Madan Lal]], who was an important part of the 1983 world cup winning team.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pathak |first=Vedanshi |date=18 February 2019 |title=Saqib Saleem and Harrdy Sandhu join the cast of Ranveer Singh's '83 |url=https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/saqib-saleem-and-harrdy-sandhu-join-the-cast-of-ranveer-singhs-83_-32576.html |access-date=23 February 2019 |website=Filmfare |archive-date=2 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190302090612/https://www.filmfare.com/news/bollywood/saqib-saleem-and-harrdy-sandhu-join-the-cast-of-ranveer-singhs-83_-32576.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=21 April 2021 |title=Parineeti Chopra and Harrdy Sandhu quietly begin shooting for Ribhu Dasgupta's action thriller in Turkey |work=Bollywood Hungama |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/parineeti-chopra-harrdy-sandhu-quietly-begin-shooting-ribhu-dasguptas-action-thriller-turkey/ |access-date=21 June 2021 |archive-date=28 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628042906/https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/parineeti-chopra-harrdy-sandhu-quietly-begin-shooting-ribhu-dasguptas-action-thriller-turkey/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In November 2021, he released new single "Bijlee Bijlee", written and composed by [[Jaani (songwriter)|Jaani]] and music by [[B Praak]] released by Jaani's music label Desi Melodies.
