MUMBAI: Meezaan Jafri has carved a niche for himself in showbiz.
Meezaan is the son of seasoned actor Jaaved Jaaferi and grandson of veteran Jagdeep. He says he might be born into a Bollywood family, but that hasn’t given him any privilege in terms of the work he’s getting. He told Indian Express, “It’s a privilege to be born with the Jaferi title because of the way I’ve been brought up, the talent that’s been passed on to me. Apart from that, there aren’t any other privileges.”
Further, he said that it is time his father leads a carefree life after toiling through it all these years. “I’m working in such a way that I can pick up my phone and tell someone, ‘take my father.’ That’s what I want to do. He’s worked really hard to give us a great life. It’s about time to take that responsibility from him,” he said.
Now that he’s found a comfortable place in the industry, does he get affected when his personal life comes under public glare, like the recent link-up rumous with Navya Naveli Nanda? He said while it was unfair to judge things, he’s understood the pros and cons of the profession. “Involving other people can affect them because they’ve not chosen this profession, not chosen to make their lives public. Whenever I’ve said something, something else has been written and then portrayed in a completely different manner. I’ve caused enough Hungama already, so it doesn’t really matter to me now,” he said..
On the work front, Meezaan made his Bollywood debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2019 production Malaal, after assisting him in Padmaavat. He is gearing up for the release of his second movie – Hungama 2 on July 23 on Disney Plus Hotstar.
