Agent Vinod Actor Shahbaz Khan: “I Registered For Acting Classes On My Friend’s Persuasion”

Shahbaz Khan, popular for his villainous roles on the small and big screens, says he had no plans of becoming an actor.

“I had been learning music from my father (singer Amir Khan) from a very young age. At the age of seven, my father’s sudden demise temporarily shut the doors to learn music any further,” Shahbaz said.

“Despite all the victories I achieved in various college competitions as well as at local and state levels, my mother was skeptical about me learning the art from anyone else. Living up to my passion, I convinced myself and my mother to shift to Mumbai to make a career in music,” he added.

While hunting for music projects, Shahbaz happened to be noticed by actor-filmmaker Sanjay Khan during a historical show’s audition.

“Although I had no intentions of becoming an actor, I registered for acting classes on my friend’s persuasion. Then, when I got to know about the auditions for Sanjay Khan’s first historical show, I decided to give it a shot on the spur of the moment,” he recalled.
