I was born in the
city of Bombay as it was then called on the 6th
day of June. My parents both Pathan were settled in
the city.
The family hailed
from Taran Taaran district before the partition and
my grandfather migrated here in 1920s. My father was
a businessman and his father was a land developer,
my mother was a housewife and her father worked for
the Portugal customs.
As I heard my mother
tell me about my childhood ácts’I will repeat them
to you. I was far from ordinary… born with a lower
tooth, three greys and speaking my first word at the
age of six months I was an attraction. Throughout
the school life (studied in Silver Beach High
School) I was an intovert who started with extra
curricular activities only in college.
Being a Mohammed Rafi
Saahab fan and growing up on his songs he left an
impression on me at a very young age as he lived
and then became a legend who lives forever he was my
inspiration and I aspire to be somewhere close to
where he was and be amongst people even after I am
gone.
I took to the stage
with passion and acted, directed and wrote plays as
an amateur. I got the chance to share stage with
wonderful people from the industry where I learnt
the ropes.
Till the age of 30 I followed my passion till it did
not become a dream to be shared with the world… I
started acting for television with Lipstick- the
serial and there has been no looking back since…
followed by taking up my childhood talent of the
story teller… I continue this creative journey with
you all as my co passengers…
“The woods are lovely
dark and deep but I have promises to keep and miles
to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I
sleep… Robert frost”
These lines have been
my inspiration ever since I read them in my school…
world definitely is a beautiful place to see and
enjoy but I believe we all have come here to fulfill
a task before we leave for a more beautiful after
world… I have achieved a little and have to achieve
a lot with god’s beautiful gift bestowed upon me…
the journey continues…
