Amyra Dastur (/əˈmaɪrə dəsˈtʊər/; born 7 May 1993)[1][2] is an Indian actress who works in Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu, and Tamil films. Dastur is known for her work in Anegan (2015), Mr. X (2015), Kaalakaandi (2018), Prassthanam (2019), Jogi (2022), and Bagheera (2023).[3] She has also been part of streaming series Tandav (2021) and Bambai Meri Jaan (2023).[4]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Dastur was born on 7 May 1993 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, to a Zoroastrian Parsi family. Her mother tongue is Gujarati and she also speaks Hindi and English.[5] She described herself as shy and introverted.[5] She holds a bachelor's degree in commerce from Mumbai's HR College.[6]

Career[edit | edit source]

Dastur started her career as a model in commercials. She made her acting debut in Manish Tiwary's romantic drama[7] Issaq, alongside Prateik Babbar.[8][9] Dastur made her Tamil cinema debut through Anegan directed by K. V. Anand, and co-starring herself with actor Dhanush.

In her first international project, Kung Fu Yoga, Dastur acted alongside Jackie Chan and it released in India on 3 February 2017.[10]

Dastur was seen in director Akshat Verma's next, titled Kaalakaandi, starring Saif Ali Khan. Amyra shot for a song in the film which is an upbeat dance number and has some fun lyrics. The track has been choreographed by Adil Malik of Kar Gayi Chul fame.[11]

She debuted in Telugu cinema with Mahesh Babu's sister's first directorial venture, Manasuku Nachindi. Also in 2018, Dastur had her second Telugu release with Rajugadu opposite Raj Tarun.[12]

Incident[edit | edit source]

In February 2016, while filming the Hindi movie Ticket to Bollywood,[13] Dastur was involved in an on-set accident that resulted in serious injury to co-actor Diganth. The scene required Dastur to throw items during a scripted argument, originally involving clothes. However, she reportedly threw a stiletto instead, which hit Diganth in the eye. The impact caused significant damage, requiring him to undergo eye surgery in London and a subsequent operation in Scotland to repair his retina and lens.[14] He was advised several months of rest following the procedures. Following the incident, the film was shelved and did not see a commercial release.[15]
