Imaad Shah on his life at home and at work

Imaad Shah with parents Ratna Pathak Shah, Naseeruddin Shah and brother Vivaan and sister Heeba

At home
While I was growing up, we were all living together — mom (Ratna Pathak Shah), dad (Naseeruddin Shah), Vivaan (brother), Heeba (Naseeruddin’s daughter from his first marriage) and I. Now, Heeba and I live on our own and Vivaan has been told by my parents that he has one more year before he gets kicked out. It’s great fun hanging out with them; sometimes, over our meals, we engage in serious discussions on life, philosophy and literature. At other times, we laugh and talk about other things. We are like a bunch of friends together. The five of us also have a great time vacationing together. The last time was two years ago, when we went to Egypt and Bali. Now, Vivaan and I are trying to convince them all to plan the next one soon.

Imaad Shah has a music outfit, Madboy/Mink along with Saba Azad

At work
Saba Azad and I have a music outfit, Madboy/Mink, that has been doing well. We have been performing across cities and we also have a lot more music that we want to release soon. But in the near future, I want to make movies, the kind which will bring my various passions — acting and music — together. I have a few ideas but to work on a film will need me to take a break, which I cannot do at the moment due to our music commitments.
