Aftab Shivdasani is an Indian actor, screenwriter, and producer known for anchoring Hindi-cinema hits across two decades. Born June 25, 1978, in India, he began as a commercial face—selected as the Farex baby at 14 months—before working as a child artist in films including Mr. India (1987), Shahenshah (1988), ChaalBaaz (1989), C.I.D.

He solidified his career through commercially successful films: Kasoor (2001)—for which he won the Zee Cine Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role and received a Filmfare nomination—alongside Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai (2002), Awara Paagal Deewana (2002), Hungama (2003), and Masti (2004). His cross-industry expansion included a Tamil-cinema debut in Bhaskar Oru Rascal (2018) and a Kannada-cinema entry with the commercial hit Kotigobba 3 (2021). As a Cancer and Life Path 11, Shivdasani carries the intuitive, visionary energy typical of master numbers—fitting for an actor who navigated child stardom into adult reinvention.
