Rising Star

It’s been quite a journey for Taaha Shah, who arrived in Mumbai from Dubai less than two years ago with the sole aim of becoming an actor. Last year, he made his debut in Luv Ka The End. It was hard work and dedication for Taaha, considering the fact that he had not much of a background in films. Armed with just a diploma from the New York Film Academy in Dubai, he also honed his acting skills at the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institute in Mumbai. He bagged a three-film contract with Yash Chopra’s production house. Taaha is known to enjoy working out, the martial arts and adventure sports. From modelling to acting, we think that this rising star is going places!
