A post shared by Vivaan Shah (@thesurrealvivaanshah)

Vivaan Shah completed his schooling at The Doon School in 2009. He then completed his BA Honors degree from Mumbai's Jai Hind College. He made his debut in Bollywood alongside Priyanka Chopra in 2011 film 7 Khoon Maaf, which failed to perform well at the box office. He then went on to star with Shah Rukh Khan in the movie Happy New Year. 

Helmed by Farah Khan, the movie became a blockbuster. Happy New Year which also starred Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani and John Abraham, earned Rs 397 crore at the box office worldwide. In an exclusive interview with DNA, Vivaan described Boman as a teacher, Farah as a mother figure, Shah Rukh as a guiding light, Deepika as a close friend, Abhishek as an elder brother, Sonu as a coach, and Jackie as an institution. 

However, after Happy New Year, Vivaan failed to give a single hit in 8 years. He starred in films like Bombay Velvet, Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana, Kabaad The Coin, Ae Kaash Ke Hum and Coat but all of them failed to impress the audience. However, he is now set to star in the film Stranger Group. 

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Shah remarked that he has plans about his film career, calling the current year “quite productive.” He highlighted the supportive atmosphere fostered by his parents, actors Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, as well as his brother, musician Imaad Shah, which nurtures his creative endeavors. Shah underscored their strong bond, expressing that they are “best friends first and even better art collaborators.”
