True to the meaning of her name, Perizaad Zorabian does
look like born of a beautiful, ethereal, effervescent
fairy. She has the effervescence and energy of a teenager
and a million-dollar smile that captivates.
Having studied in Auxilium Convent High School (Mumbai),
Perizaad took the B.Com course in Bombay University. After
her post-graduation, she secured admission in one of the
Top 20 colleges in New York for her MBA studies.
Then there was no looking back for Perizaad who supported
herself in the US by taking up a job at Hotel Lexington.
At the same time she also enrolled into an acting school.
When she came back to India she did not harbor any dreams
of stepping under Bollywood’s arc lamps. So she began
helping her father in his poultry farm business.
It was during this time, she met a model coordinator Mona
Irani who offered her modeling assignments.
Her debut film Bollywood Calling has already won accolades
and next in line is Viral Lakhia’s Namaste, though the
role she might cherish most is that of Indira Gandhi that
Perizaad plays in an international Chinese production
called Bandung Sonata made by the Chinese Film Group
Corporation.
Prior to her movie appearances, this Mumbai gal ruled the
hearts of the television audience through brilliant
performances in serials like ‘Hum Pardesi Ho Gaye’ as
Maya. Besides, she also starred in exciting music videos
with such greats like Asha Bhonsle, Lucky Ali, Aryans and
others.
A rare combination of beauty and brains, Perizaad did MBA
in marketing and Finance from New York before completing
an acting course with the renowned Lee Strasberg School of
Acting. To equip herself for the Bollywood Jhatkas, she
did a stint with dancer Shiamak Davar too.
A trained ballet dancer for 12 years, she has done theatre
too and is ever ready to try out new things in life, which
explains her interest in dad’s poultry business before
getting bitten by the acting bug.
Her first ad was for Clearsil, shot by Shekhar Kapoor
after which she was off to New York to pursue her further
studies. On her return, she did a series of ads for
well-known brands like Fair & Lovely, Titan, Ponds,
Tanishq, BPL, Closeup, etc.
A true homebody by nature, she loves spending time at home
with family and close friends. Although she misses her
ballet a lot due to her schedule, she does manage to do
the annual show at the academy from where she has
graduated.
