Jia (Nafisa) Khan is a well-known Bollywood actress who performed the role in the film "Do Not Just Believe in Love", "Gagini", "Full House". It is not known how much the picture would have been played by this beautiful and positive girl, if not for the tragic circumstance that had happened to her on June 3, 2013. However, we will talk about the brightest moments of the life of Jii Khan further.
Childhood
Gia was born in 1988 on February 20 in the city of New York (America). A girl was born in a Muslim family, whose head was Rizvi Khan. It is known that the mother of the girl, Rabia Amin, is a famous Indian actress who was popular in the 80s.
The family moved to London when Gia was very young. The reason was the separation of the girl’s parents. Gia stayed with her mother and stepfather. In this marriage, the future actress appeared 2 more sisters - Karisma and Cavita.
From early childhood, parents noted acting skills in the girl. Actively Jia was engaged in singing. After leaving school, Khan entered the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in Manhattan.
It is worth saying that at first the girl's dream was an opera career. But after watching a picture called "Veselchak", in which the main role was played by the then-famous Urmila Matondkar, Gia sharply changed her mind in favor of cinema.
First steps to success
During training at the institute, the girl was offered a small role in the movie. Dreaming of becoming a famous actress, Gia does not hesitate for a second, leaves school and goes to meet her dream. The destination becomes the city of Mumbai (India).
In 2004, Khan was invited to take part in a musical entitled "Only You." Unfortunately, the future actress did not manage to play a role in this film, since both the director of the picture and Jia herself agreed that the actress had not yet reached the age to play such serious roles. The replacement was found quickly. The heroine Khan was then played by Diya Mirza.
It should be noted that the girl was actively involved in dancing. In Mumbai, she learned elements of salsa, kathak, lambada, belly dance, etc.
First movie role
In 2007, Gia’s dream finally came true, she was offered the long-awaited role in the romantic thriller “Not Just Believe in Love”.
The young actress plays an 18-year-old girl who falls head over heels in love with her friend’s father. It should be noted that the opinions of critics regarding this picture diverged. The story of a young girl and a 40-year-old man in India was not accepted by everyone, but the game of debutant Khan was 100% appreciated. Gia was nominated for the Filmfare Award.
Next movie roles
It is worth talking separately about the pseudonym of the actress. The girl took the name Gia from the picture "Gia" with Angelina Jolie in the title role.
In 2008, Khan was again offered to star in a thriller called Gadzhini. This time she played a student named Sunita. The girl was investigating the case of entrepreneur Sanjay Singhania. It is worth saying that this role of Jie was a success.
In 2010, Khan starred in the movie "Full House", where he plays a secondary role. The girl plays Devika, who meets Aarush (annoying guest Hital and Bob).
