Shenaz Treasurywala Born the daughter of a Merchant Navy captain, Shenaz spent the first seven years of her life traveling the globe on board cargo ships carrying potatoes, onions and rice.
After completing her school she enrolled in St. Xavier's College. It was during her first year in this college that she was discovered by a photographer.
She started her career as a model and has appeared in TV commercials like Gold Spot, Philips, Trigger Jeans, Akai, Elle 18, and many more. She then started working as a Veejay for MTV.
During 2001 Shenaz moved to New York, USA, to enroll in the Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute, as well as taking a writing course at New York University. She was thrilled to complete this 8 month course in the same school as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
She made quite a dramatic entry into Bollywood after she lost her luggage, passport and visa papers while traveling by Kuwait Airways, and as result was unable to return to New York. This incident proved to be an advantage as she was approached by Ken Ghosh, who signed her up for a role in 'Ishq Vishk', for which she was nominated for the best supporting actress. She has since then acted in a total of several other movies.
Her hobbies include photography, playing the piano, travel, scuba, surfing, dancing, horseback riding, writing, and this natural beauty, with a dimpled and toothy smile atop curved lips, is ranked amongst the 'Top 100 Beautiful Women.' Quite versatile as she is an actress, Writer, TV Presenter, VJ, Travel Junkie, and Nature Lover.
