Since the times of the Soviet Union, Russian audiences have loved watching Indian films with their national flavor and vivid emotions. Recently, Bollywood has been shooting many modern films and TV series, which are also very popular in Russia. One of the actors in these films is Shabbir Ahluvalia.
Like many Indian actors, he started his career with episodes in TV series, and now he is producing various television projects.
Biography
Shabbir's parents belong to different religious denominations: his father belongs to the Singh family, and his mother is from a Catholic family. So when their son was born in 1979, they named him Shabbir Sebastian. Their family then lived in Mumbai, and Shabbir also had a brother, Samir, and a sister, Shifali.
In one of the interviews, the actor said that they lived very amicably, and although the children sometimes quarreled, these were minor skirmishes. And if someone offended his loved ones, he was always in a hurry to help.
Shabbir graduated from St. Xavier's School in Mumbai, where he had very good preparation in all subjects and strict discipline. Therefore, after receiving secondary education, the young man went to America and entered the University of Maryland, College Park.
Actor's career
After returning to his homeland, Ahluvalia began casting auditions for a variety of roles, and in 1999 he was accepted into the TV series "Hip-hip hurray" (2003). The first shooting turned out to be successful - the young actor looked good in front of the camera, was convincing and communicated well with partners. It became clear that he would make a real professional.
After this role, Shabbir had several cameo roles, which did not bother him at all, because each role added new experience and made it possible to build relationships with different people.
In 2003, Ahluwalia began acting in the project "Will be somewhere" (Kahiin To Hoga) (2003-2007), where he got the role of Rishi. The series turned out to be successful, the audience watched it with pleasure for many years. For Shabbir, this project also turned out to be successful - his image of Rishi turned out great for him.
Having barely finished filming this series, the actor begins work on a new role: he created the image of Milind in the series "Rock" (2007- …). Director Anil V. Kumar and producers from the famous Kapurov dynasty unanimously chose the actor for the main role, and this was the most important event of that year. The actor's partner was actress Panchi Bora, and all viewers who watched the series noted how subtly Shabbir and Panchi played lovers. All spoke only one word: "Chemistry."
Therefore, no one was surprised that soon Ahluvalia began to appear in Bollywood projects. The first film in a new role was the film "Shootout in Lokandvale" (2007). The film is interesting in that it reproduces the real story of the confrontation between mobsters and police in the suburbs of Mumbai in 1992. The gripping story was filmed by director Apurva Lakhia, and the famous Amitabh Bachchan played the main character here.
After this film, the film “Mission“Istanbul”(2008) and several TV series were added to the actor's portfolio. And then he decided to go into production and started the company "Flying Turtles". Now he plans to continue filming as an actor and production activities.
