Parent(s)

Syed Jaaved Ahmed Jaffrey (born 4 December 1962) is an Indian actor, dancer,[2][3] producer and comedian who has appeared in Hindi films and television shows. He is the son of the comedian Jagdeep. He joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in March 2014 and contested the 2014 Indian general election from the Lucknow constituency finishing fifth.[4]

Jaffrey has been awarded the life membership of International Film And Television Club of Asian Academy of Film & Television.[5] He was also the brand ambassador of the first India International Animation and Cartoon Film festival 2015.[6][7]

Early life and education[edit | edit source]

Jaffrey is the son of comedian Jagdeep.[8] He was born in Bombay, Maharashtra, India (present-day Mumbai).

He participated in school dance competitions at St. Theresa's, and later while studying psychology at National College (his parents discouraged him from attending St. Xavier's, fearing it would make him "go wild"). In 1983, he won an all-India dance competition that awarded him training at a London dance school, which cemented his career in dance.[9]

He married Habiba Jaffrey in 1991 and has a daughter and two sons, including actor Meezaan.

Media career[edit | edit source]

Films[edit | edit source]

The film Meri Jung, released in 1985, gave him his first opportunity to enact the role of a villain and showcase his dancing powers on screen.[2][10]

He won his first IIFA Award for best comic role in Salaam Namaste in 2005.

In 2008, he played Charlie Anna in the animated film Roadside Romeo, a collaborative effort of Yash Raj Films and Disney.

He has produced or co-produced films and documentaries such as Inshallah, Football and Inshallah, Kashmir.[11]

Television[edit | edit source]

The launch of cable TV in the 1990s, particularly Channel [V] and its irreverent sense of humour, gave him a niche to depict his brand of comedy.[12] He has been called "TVdom's first real superstar".[13]

He has also appeared in the Pakistani programme Loose Talk in the early 2000s, portraying various characters from India.

Advertising industry[edit | edit source]

He has been associated with advertising since the 1980s as an actor, copywriter and producer.[14] He has appeared in the comical Maggi Hot & Sweet Sauce commercials for 25 years.[15]

Host and judge[edit | edit source]

He has commentated on the Japanese TV show Takeshi's Castle and Ninja Warrior on Pogo TV and Hungama respectively. He was also the judge for Karaoke World Championships India with Manasi Scott, music director Raju Singh, Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, founder and organizer of KWC INDIA, Savio Paul D'sa, Leslie Lewis, Remo Fernandes, and Sunita Rao.[16] [17][18]

Jaffrey has hosted award shows including Filmfare,[19] Zee Cine Awards,[20] and IIFA.[21][22]

Jaffrey hosted Big Googly on BIG 92.7FM created with Paritosh Painter. He also hosted Once More, where he talks about Bollywood films from the 1970s to the 1990s in his comic style, on Epic channel since 2015.[23][24]

He anchored the show Flashback.[9] Jaffrey also anchored the song programme, Timex Timepass, in which he shifted between the caricatures of characters.[citation needed][25]
