This is the story of an ordinary boy from an ordinary town belonging to an ordinary family, and yet he always had extraordinary dreams
It all began on a day when the whole world was celebrating the beginning of a new year. A family in the small town of Malerkotla in Punjab had more than one reason to celebrate. For them, it was not just the beginning of a new year but also the arrival of a son. With a lot of love, he was named Mohammad Nazim
So, as fairy tales go, once upon a time, that is precisely on 1st January 1984, a star was born!!!
Nazim, Naz to his loved ones, led a happy childhood - loved by his parents and adored by his four sisters and older brother. He moved to Chandigarh at a young age of 17 to fulfil his dreams.
Always a hardworking man, he started out working as a trainer in a gym. His dream of becoming an actor started bearing fruit when he got a break as a model. Always striving for perfection, as a model too, he was among the top 20 in the Gladrags India Male Models. Pursuing his goal, he acted in many Punjabi music videos too. His first break as an actor came when he got a 2 day acting job with Channel V for which he was paid Rs. 1000 a day.
As they say, hard work always pays. Naz got his big break when he got the opportunity to play a negative role in Star Plus' Shaurya Aur Suhani. The struggle continued with shows like CID and Aahat.
Finally, he struck gold with the lead role of Ahem Parag Modi in Star Plus' Saath Nibhana Saathiya. The show was a resounding success. It revolutionised prime time television by topping trp charts inspite of being telecast in the previously presumed to be dead time slot of 7 pm. Though Naz started out playing a negative character, with time he won over everyone's heart as Ahem.
However, inspite of being a successful television actor in one of the longest running top shows (still in top 5!!!) his penchant for hard work has not diminished. A self confessed fitness freak, he works hard to maintain his physique and leads a disciplined life. He still is humble, down to earth and loves spending time with his family and close friends.
Even God favours the brave and the resilient. Naz's dream has moved a step ahead as he begins his journey in movies with a break in Punjabi movies and now Bollywood too.
Nazim, on your birthday today, we take the opportunity to wish you loads of luck in all your future endeavours. And of course a very happy birthday too! May you be blessed with the love from your family, loved ones and scores of fans and may you always enjoy good health and cheer!! Ameen
