Jiah Khan must have been the much hyped and talked about teenager when she made her debut in the controversial film “Nishabd” opposite Amitabh Bachchan. Though the film received mixed reviews, Khan, was noticed for her confidence, attitude and sex appeal.
Jiah was born on 20th February 1988 in Chelsea, London to Ali Rizvi Khan an Indian American and Rabiya Khan, a Hindi film actress in the 1980s who is best remembered for her role in Tahir Hussain's “Dulha Bikta Hai”. Jiah Khan has been rumored to be the daughter of Tahir Hussain and related to Aamir Khan, but Jiah dismissed the rumour as untrue.
She was brought up by her mother single handedly in New York and has 2 younger sisters. She was born as Nafisa, but later changed her name after watching Angelina Jolie's “GIA”.
Jiah completed her A levels in film studies and literature in London. She quit her studies at Lee Starberg Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York when she received a film offer from Mumbai.
Jiah also has a passion for singing and was formally trained in opera singing. She has been a student of dance for the last 9 years and knows 5 different forms of dancing, which includes salsa, lambada, belly dancing, samba and kathak. She is also well versed in playing the piano and has recorded 6 Pop numbers, but the album hasn’t been released yet.
Jiah Khan was the first choice for Mahesh Bhatt's “Tumsa Nahi Dekha”, but she backed out when she realised that the role was too mature for her. The role eventually went to Dia Mirza. Later, she made her debut with Amitabh Bachchan in Ram Gopal Varma's, “Nishabd”, where her performance was much talked about. She starred in Ghajini (2008) as a medical student, Sunita. The film was a huge hit and turned to be the highest grosser in the Indian film industry.
In 2009, she will be seen in “Houseful” with Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Ritiesh Deshmukh and as a dance instructor in Ken Ghosh’s “Yahoo” with Shahid Kapur.
