BIOGRAPHY

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.
