Biography

Arav (born as Nafeez Kizar) is an Indian model and actor who has worked in the Tamil film industry. After making his acting debut through the Vijay Antony-starrer Saithan (2016), he rose to fame after appearing in the Tamil reality television show Bigg Boss hosted by Kamal Haasan.

Career

Arav was born in Nagercoil in southern Tamil Nadu as Nafeez Kizar. His father worked as a professor at Trichy Government Law College, which prompted the family to shift to Trichy, where Arav spent his formative years. He did his schooling in Trichy at Kamala Niketan Montessori School before moving to Chennai to pursue a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Hindustan University. Following his education, Arav attempted the Civil Service Exams before settling for a job with Daimler India Commercial Vehicles and then with Apollo Tyres. During the same period, he became acquainted with celebrity photographer V. S. Anandhakrishna, who he met through Facebook. Anandhakrishna introduced Arav to the world of modelling and held a shoot with him, prompting a Dubai-based garment to approach him within a week of the shoot. He subsequently went on to do more than three hundred TV commercials and print ads for brands, establishing himself in the South Indian modelling industry.

At the start of his career, Arav portrayed minor background characters in films, notably being seen in Mani Ratnam's O Kadhal Kanmani (2015) as a colleague of Dulquer Salmaan's character. Arav then portrayed his first major role in Pradeep Krishnamoorthy's psychological thriller, Saithan (2016), portraying a negative supporting role alongside Vijay Antony and Arundathi Nair. He will next be seen portraying the leading role of a police officer in the horror film Meendum Vaa Arugil Vaa (2017).

In 2017, Arav appeared as a contestant on the television show Bigg Boss hosted by Kamal Haasan.
