Actor Parvin Dabas grew up in India and formally studied at Modern School in Vasant Visar and Hans Raj College at Delhi University, then temporarily emigrated to New York City and enrolled in rigorous dramatic training. Upon returning to his native country, the actor landed a key role in the Bollywood opus Dillagi, though a supporting contribution to Mira Nair's popular #92;comedy-drama Monsoon Wedding (2001) ultimately pushed him to the forefront of international cinema. These two assignments set something of a pattern for Dabas, who spent the following years alternating between localized Bollywood productions, such as the #92;thriller Wrong Number (2003) and the #92;psychological drama I Did Not Kill Gandhi (2005), and crossover efforts such as the lesbian-themed apartheid #92;drama The World Unseen (where he received prominent billing). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
