Nauheed Cyrusi

Nauheed Cyrusi was born the Parsi Cyrusi family in Bombay, India on October 19, 1982. Her name means 'Venus', she has a sister, and comes from a non-filmy background. The Cyrusi family live near Podar College, South Bombay. She studied and graduated from Jai Hind College and Basant Singh Institute of Science and Technology, Churchgate, Bombay, and is pursing M.Com. through correspondence. She had wanted a career as an Air Hostess, but after modeling for three years, she decided to stick with showbiz and appeared in numerous TV commercials as well as print media.

Although she did attain a level of popularity with TV advertisements, and a music video 'Piya Basanti' her tryst with the tinsel screen has been disappointing as film after film flopped at the box office. She even tried her hand in a Telugu film 'Sakhia' opposite Tarun, but again the movie failed.

She has also appeared in a TV serial 'Hip Hip Hooray', and made an appearance at the India Fashion Week 2007 as well as the Allen Solly Fashion Show along with actress Koel Purie.

She is one of the few Parsi actresses in India. When stressed out she likes to swim or go for a walk on the beach. She also likes to watch TV serials like 'Friends', Hindi movies, and play badminton.
