Early life and career

[edit | edit source]

Shah was born to a British mother and an American father. His mother remarried an Indian man of Gujarati origin. He attended New York Film Academy and graduated from the University of Memphis.[1] He was featured in the 2007 film Partner, played the groom of Katrina Kaif in the "Dupatta Tera Nau Rang Da" music video,[6] and starred in an ad for Van Heusen.[1] He made his Bollywood debut in the 2016 film Fitoor, which featured Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.

Shah participated in the Indian reality show Bigg Boss 10 as a wild card entrant.[7] He faced criticism in the news for alleging that his Bollywood career was cut short by Katrina Kaif, telling fellow contestants that it was Kaif's fault that he went unnoticed in Fitoor, stating that his cameo was cut short as a result of Kaif wanting to re-shoot her opening scenes in the movie.[8]
