Aftab Shivdasani
He?s almost 33 years old, but actor Aftab Shivdasani is still often referred to as the ?Farex baby?. The baby who became a child actor played his first lead role as a teenager in Ram Gopal Varma?s Mast followed by roles in Kasoor, Awara Paagal Deewana, Hungama, Masti, Daddy Cool and Aloo Chaat, among others. In 2009 he turned producer with Aao Wish Karein and then disappeared, only to reappear this month in an ensemble comedy called Bin Bulaye Baarati.
In between promoting his film and nursing a finger injury he suffered during the ongoing Celebrity Cricket League, Aftab talks to Udita Jhunjhunwala about the past, present and future
What is your latest film, Bin Bulaye Baarati, about?
I play Aditya, a lovable crook in love with Shreya (Nisha Kothari) who happens to be the daughter of a policeman (Om Puri). I am on the run from both the cops and some gangsters.

The award for most 'Underrated Actor' over and over again has been given to Aftab Shivdasani by fans and admirers. He was a Rgv debutant who wooed the ladies with Mast and later went onto impress the critics with Kasoor. However, what poor Aftab could never do is win the box office lotto! While the actor was part of some hits such as Masti and Awara Paagal Deewana, he's yet to have a solid blockbuster he can call his own.
2011 may just be the year for the actor who has returned from a yearlong break, which he says, was an important decision as every creative person needs a break to reinvent themselves. The actor now returns with Chandrakant Singh's (Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama) film Bin Bulaye Baarati. He's already started shooting for the film and is very psyched about it.
