He entered the Bollywood industry in 1996 with a negative role in Daraar, which earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role. Over the years, Arbaaz built a diverse career, acting in films like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya and Hello Brother, while also excelling as a producer and director.

Personality
He's not one for flashy displays; his charisma is more like a slowburning ember. Years spent in the demanding world of Bollywood have sharpened his mind, making him keenly observant. This intelligence shines through in his filmmaking – he carefully crafts each project, showing a practical and thoughtful approach.
He's often described as reserved even thoughtful. He listens more than he speaks, carefully considering things before sharing his opinions. This isn't shyness, but a deliberate way of being. He has a quiet confidence, earned not through loud pronouncements, but through years of navigating the complexities of Indian cinema.
Though professional in his dealings, those close to him speak of his deep loyalty and strong family ties. He values his relationships, both personal and professional. This warmth peeks through in interviews and public appearances, a subtle contrast to his usually reserved nature.
He's a man who lets his actions speak louder than words, quietly building a lasting legacy in the Indian film industry. His journey, much like a classic Bollywood movie from the 1990s, is a testament to quiet strength and enduring success.
