Career

At the age of 14 months, Shivdasani was chosen as the Farex baby (baby food brand) and appeared in numerous television commercials from that time. He made his Bollywood debut as a child actor in Mr. India (1987), then appeared in films including Awwal Number, Shahenshah, ChaalBaaz, and Insaniyat. In the 1988 film 'Shahenshah', he appeared as Inspector Vijaykumar Srivastav, who would later be played by Amitabh Bachchan for the remainder of the film.

When he was first drafted in director Ram Gopal Varma's Mast opposite Urmila Matondkar while still attending H.R., Shivdasani continued to work in commercials until the age of 19. College. In Mast, Shivdasani made his debut as an adult opposite Matondkar. Although Shivdasani received the Zee Cine Award for Best Male Debut and Most Promising Newcomer – Male for his role in Mast, the film became a flop. He has been lauded for his work. "Newcomer Aftab Shivdasani comes off as a bit young and aimless as the movie opens," Mohammad Ali Ikram of Planet Bollywood said, "but as you watch the proceedings, you'll find that this bit of casting makes complete sense considering Kittu's immaturity and innocence."

Shivdasani made his return to acting in 2001 with the debutant Lisa Ray in Vikram Bhatt's Kasoor. Shivdasani played a negative role in his portrayal of Shekhar Saxena, a well-known journalist who murders his wife. He was nominated for the Filmfare Best Villain Award and a Zee Cine Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role thanks to his role in the film. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama noticed the change in his acting and lauded his performance. "Aftab, the suave publishing magnate, surprises you with a debut that is first-rate." His appearance is dissimilar to that of his debut-making venture Mast, which was a lot different. His career may help him to the top of the genteel artists. In Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, the actor starred in a supporting role opposite Saif Ali Khan, Fardeen Khan, Twinkle Khanna, and Sonali Bendre, the young prince's next release of the year saw him paired with Ram Gopal Varma after Mast in Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega. Taran Adarsh applauded Shivdasani's performance, which was considered to be more impressive than the other two heroes. "Aftab appears in the gallery and gives a positive representation of himself," Taran Adarsh wrote. Because his character is mass appealing, Aftab has a leg up on the other two heroes. His scenes with Johny Lever are simply fantastic." The film, on the other hand, was a failure at the box office. Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat, Rajiv Rai's last year, was one of three lead roles in Arjun Rampal and Suniel Shetty opposite Kirti Reddy, with Shivdasani playing Taj Bharadwaj. Taran Adarsh praised Shivdasani. "Aftab Shivdasani has a leg up on him because of his lovable persona." He is a natural performer. "Aftab is as good as ever and is quickly maturing as an actor," Pankaj Shukla of SmasHits wrote.

Shivdasani's first two films, Coi Mere Dil Se Poochhe opposite debutant Esha Deol, was a failure, but Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai opposite Ameesha Patel was very popular at the box office in 2002. Rajkumar Kohli's multi-starrer supernatural horror Jaani Dushman: It was a tragedy that was his third release of the year.

Priyadarshan's comedy film Hungama starring Akshaye Khanna and debutant Rimi Sen, which was his best success of the year, was his next release. Footpath opposite Bipasha Basu, Rahul Dev, and debutant Emraan Hashmi, which failed to do well at the box office, was his third and final release of the year.

Suno Sasurjee opposite Ameesha Patel and Muskaan opposite Gracy Singh were among Shivdasani's first two launches of 2004.
