Aasif Khan (born 13 March 1991) is an Indian actor, best known for his role as Babar in action crime thriller web television series Mirzapur (2018-2020).

Early life

Aasif Khan was born and raised in Nimbahera, a small town in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan, India. His father, Mr. Late Ayyub Khan was an employee in J.K. Cement, and his mother, Mrs. Firdous Ayyub Khan is a housewife. He has two brothers and a sister.

Khan was mediocre in academics but had a great inclination towards the field of arts. His keenness for acting began in 2001 at his school’s annual event, where he performed the role of a servant in Kissa Kursi Ka play. He was deeply inspired by the "shaadiwallah" act performed by comedian Raju Srivastava in the popular TV show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. It encouraged him to participate in the stand-up competition held locally where he surprisingly won.

The sudden demise of his father in 2008 brought his acting ambition to a halt. He engaged himself in taking up small jobs for a living and parallelly completed his higher secondary education.

Career

Khan moved to Mumbai in 2010 to revive his acting ambition. For sustenance, he initially worked in a hotel as a waiter. He later worked in a mall and simultaneously gave auditions, where he was advised to learn the art of acting and perform theatre. He appeared in Ready and Agneepath as a junior artist.

In 2011, he joined Sarthak and Ujaagar Theatre Group in Jaipur to learn theatre and sharpen his acting skills. He performed as a professional theatre artist, his first play being Abu Hassan directed by Rajiv Acharya, and several others for 5 years with prestigious groups and renowned personalities like Sabir Khan.

Aasif made his Bollywood film debut in Raj Kumar Gupta’s India’s Most Wanted (2019) where he played a crucial role of Bittu Sinha alongside Arjun Kapoor. He appeared as Chintu in Humorously Yours (2019).

In 2020, Aasif overwhelmed the audience by his appearance in a crucial role of a journalist as Anas Ahmad in Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega. He was next seen as a stubborn bridegroom in The Viral Fever’s comedy drama Panchayat (2020). He then appeared in Paatal Lok (2020) as Kabir M, a petty car thief who makes great efforts in dissembling his identity during an interrogation.

He continued to play Babar in Mirzapur season 2 and appeared in short film: Sorry (2020).
