A sixteen years old Khan was to debut in Mukesh Bhatt’s Tumsa Nahin Dekha (2004), but backed out when she felt the role was too mature for her and immediately replaced by Dia Mirza. Two years later in 2006, she debuted in the controversial Nishabd, where she acted opposite Amitabh Bachchan. The film was released on March 2, 2007 to mixed reviews, though Khan was noted for her confidence, attitude, and sex appeal.
She will appear in A.R. Murugadoss’s Ghajini Hindi remake along with Aamir Khan and Asin Thottumkal and Sajid Khan’s Housefull, which also stars Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Ritesh Deshmukh.
She changed her name to Jiah after Angelina Jolie’s movie GIA, citing that it was sexier.
Jiah Khan is a Bollywood actress born February 20, 1988 in New York. She is the daughter of actress Rabia. She has been in the limelight due to the recent release of her controversial debut indian film Nishabd in which she plays an underage girl and stars opposite aging veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan.
Jiah graces for the popular UK glossy magazine named Xeher as the ‘Cover Girl’. Xeher magazine carried out an exclusive shoot in Mumbai itself for their current Winter/Spring edition with Jiah Khan.
Jiah stated that this was one of the most beautiful shoots she had ever done! Btw, the idea of the shoot was to show that Jiah was not at all a rebel, as she is made out to be!
Jiah Khan has signed her first ever brand endorsement deal. She will now be joining the likes of Wrangler’s other brand ambassador like John Abraham. She seems to be getting celebrity status after her dream debut with Big B. Her next include movie with Aamir Khan ‘Ghajini’ remake.
Jiah Khan in Aamir Khan’s Next Movie
Aamir Khan has signed Jiah Khan for his next project, which is a remake of Gajni. Honestly this surprises me as I am not too sure about the acting prowess of the Snapshot Indian Lolita.
A source confirmed, “Yes, Jiah Khan has been signed on as one of the leading ladies along with Asin. In the storyline, one actress plays a part in the past and the other actress plays a part in the future. While Asin has been roped in to play the first part, Jiah has been cast in the latter role.”
