B. N. Sharma (Bhola Nath Sharma) is an actor in the Punjabi film industry. He was born in Ropar and raised in Delhi in a Punjabi Hindu Brahmin family originally from Gujranwala who migrated in 1947 during Partition of India.

He acted as a recurring and different character in hit series Flop Show in 1989. He later collaborated with Jaspal Bhatti in other ventures like Ulta Pulta and Full Tension. He had a minor role in anti corruption comic film Mahaul Theek Hai (1999) followed by major roles in over 70 Punjabi films.

He has been acclaimed by directors for the perfection he puts in his work.

"I was so fascinated by acting that I wanted to become a part of it at any cost," Sharma told Punjabi Mania. "I remember when I was a kid (even before I started going school), I used to buy a flute from a balloon seller and play it. Now I realize that it was an art. As my father was quite rigid I had to take the extreme step and now with the hard work and love of all I am doing well."

During an interview with Punjabi Mania, Sharma also stated: "I just think that the Punjab government must do something fruitful for Punjabi cinema too like they are doing in promotion of sports which is a good thing too. Punjabi cinema is doing wonders now and our government must contribute something to make it internationally renowned." [1] Archived 6 July 2013 at the Wayback Machine
