Biography: Multi
faceted is the only way to describe Farhan Akhtar. He is young and
talented and masters a variety of fields from acting to music to
direction. He is one of the most imaginative popular film makers of
Bollywood. His debut film Dil Chahta Hai is still considered to be a
path breaking venture for the lucidity of the script and how he directed
it with so much of zeal which most film makers lack. He brought
subtlety and class in mainstream cinema and rejected that pomp and show
drives a film. Born to lyricist and scriptwriter Javed Akhtar and
scriptwriter and director Honey Irani, Farhan has always lived in and
around artistic scene for all his life. He has a sister Zoya who is
director and a writer. Farhan’s step mother is the veteran, natural
actress Shabana Azmi. Farhan grew up in Mumbai.
Farhan’s career in Bollywood began at
the age of 17 when he assisted Yash Chopra, as cinematography apprentice
for his film Lamhe (1991). He later worked as an assistant director for
Himalaya Putra (1997). During his early days he widely worked in the
advertising world before going for direction and scriptwriting.
