[edit] Personal profileJaaved Jaffrey, born on 4 December 1963 in Mumbai, is the son of Syed Jawaher Ali Jaffrey (aka film actor Jagdeep). Jaaved Jaffrey made his mark in Hindi cinemas when he caricatured the role of 'taporis', the local name given to the hoodlums of Bombay; he schooled at St. Theresa's and resided in Bandra. He has played various roles in Hindi movies and serials. He gained additional attention for his Maggi tomato ketchup advertisements. His dubbed commentary has been used in famous Japan where he is known to many. He also has a daughter named Alaviaa who studies in Dhirubhhai Ambani International School along with her brothers Mizaan and Abbas. [edit] Film backgroundThe film Meri Jung, released in the year 1985, gave him his first opportunity to enact the role of a villain and showcase his dancing powers on screen. Television in the 1990s highlighted his comical abilities and magical powers, extending his popularity further. The launch of cable TV, particularly Channel [V] and it's irreverent sense of humour gave him a niche to depict his own unique brand of comedy. He anchored the show "Videocon Flashback" with distinctive brilliance. His deadpan expressions and bilingual puns gave him a formidable fan following. As a brief example, he interpreted "What is Yaadon Ki Baraat in Hindi as "a procession of mammaries". His interpretation is actually a play of words on how certain people in India pronounce the word 'memory' - a tongue-in-cheek reminder that the film starred two memorable actresses, Zeenat Aman and Neetu Singh who were both famous for their big breast size and hence 'procession of mammaries'. Another notable contribution by Javed Jaffrey is his performance as an anchor to the top-of-the-charts song programme, Timex Timepass, in which he shifted between the caricatures of various characters. He won his first IIFA award for best comic role in Salaam Namaste in 2006. He hosts the dance competition show Boogie Woogie on Sony Entertainment Television Asia with his brother, Naved Jaffery and friend Ravi Behl. [edit] Filmography
