Career
As a child he appeared very briefly in his uncle Nasir Hussain's 1969 film Pyar Ka Mausam playing Shashi Kapoor's role as a child. In 1988 he played a minor role as a villain in his brother Aamir's film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He went onto play another bit part in his brother's 1992 film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.
He got his first leading role in the 1994 film Madhosh which was produced by his father Tahir Hussain and directed by Vikram Bhatt. The film failed to launch his career as it flopped at the box office. After a five-year hiatus he attempted his comeback to films appearing alongside his brother in Mela (2000) which also failed at the box office. Since then he acted in a few B-grade movies none of which did well. He also appeared in the TV serial Aandhi in 2003 which was inspired by the Rajesh Khanna starrer Kati Patang and he happened to play Rajesh Khanna's role in that serial. His last film was Chand Bhujh Gaya in 2005 after which he has quit acting.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
