Debutant actor Meezaan, the son of actor Jaaved Jaaferi, says he has seen the glitter and grime of Bollywood and that makes him a realist in approach towards his acting profession.
The young actor is gearing up for the release of his debut film “Malaal“. Asked about his approach towards a glamorous profession like acting, Meezaan told IANS here: “I am a realist, therefore, I am pretty focused on my work.
“I have literally seen the good and also the dark phase of my father’s career. There was a time when my father, being a family man, did films so that he could pay bills for many things including my education. I have got a good life but I saw him struggle.”

“He is also very loved and respected because he is a skilled dancer and actor. The whole thing made me understand that if I am good in my craft, I will get my due and if I have love and support of the audience, I will get what I want as an actor,” he added.
The story of “Malaal” is set in Mumbai where Shiva, a Marathi youngster from a chawl, falls in love with a north Indian.
Born and brought up in Mumbai, Meezaan had an urban upbringing. Playing the character of a Marathi young man was certainly not easy for his debut film. However, a year-long workshop and guidance of director Mangesh Hadawale and producer Sanjay Leela Bhanshali helped him to find the nuance of the character.
