Perizaad Zorabian
When Bollywood came calling in the form of Nagesh Kukunoor’s
movie, this model with an MBA degree from New York was ready and
waiting. Not surprising! For, ever since she forayed into the
world of glitz from her dad’s poultry business, Perizaad
Zorabian has only tasted sweet success.
Her debut film Bollywood Calling has already won accolades and
next in line is Viral Lakhia’s Namaste, though the role she
might cherish most is that of Indira Gandhi that Perizaad plays
in an international Chinese production called Bandung Sonata
made by the Chinese Film Group Corporation.
Prior to her movie appearances, this Mumbai gal ruled the hearts
of the television audience through brilliant performances in
serials like ‘Hum Pardesi Ho Gaye’ as Maya. Besides, she also
starred in exciting music videos with such greats like Asha
Bhonsle, Lucky Ali, Aryans and others.
A rare combination of beauty and brains, Perizaad did MBA in
marketing and Finance from New York before completing an acting
course with the renowned Lee Strasberg School of Acting. To
equip herself for the Bollywood Jhatkas, she did a stint with
dancer Shiamak Davar too.
A trained ballet dancer for 12 years, she has done theatre too
and is ever ready to try out new things in life, which explains
her interest in dad’s poultry business before getting bitten by
the acting bug.
Her first ad was for Clearsil, shot by Shekhar Kapoor after
which she was off to New York to pursue her further studies. On
her return, she did a series of ads for well-known brands like
Fair & Lovely, Titan, Ponds, Tanishq, BPL, Closeup, etc.
A true homebody by nature, she loves spending time at home with
family and close friends. Although she misses her ballet a lot
due to her schedule, she does manage to do the annual show at
the academy from where she has graduated.
