Remember the little Sikh boy who made everyone emotional with his "Tussi Jaa Rahe Ho? Tussi Na Jao" dialogue in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? That was Parzaan Dastur, who became a familiar face to Bollywood audiences as a child actor. Years later, he has moved beyond acting and built a career in filmmaking, writing and production.

Parzaan was just six years old when he appeared alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in Karan Johar's 1998 film. Although his screen time was limited, his memorable dialogue remains one of the film's most loved moments. Today, he is exploring opportunities behind the camera through his production company, Ten Colour Productions.

Where Is Parzaan Dastur Now? 

After Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Parzaan appeared in several Hindi films, including Mohabbatein, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Zubeidaa and Hum Tum. He also took on challenging roles in films such as Parzania (2007) and Sikandar (2009).

As he grew older, Parzaan began exploring filmmaking beyond acting. He worked as an assistant director on projects such as Student of the Year (2012), Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (2013) and Fitoor (2016). His work behind the camera allowed him to understand different aspects of film production.

The 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' Legacy: Why We Still Remember Him

Directed by Karan Johar, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai remains a memorable Bollywood romantic drama. Parzaan's character became popular because of his emotional farewell scene with Kajol's Anjali.

In a 2021 conversation with Brut India, the actor recalled his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. He also remembered spending time with Kajol during the shoot.

Apart from films, Parzaan appeared in popular advertisements, including the Dhara commercial in which he says "jalebi". These appearances helped make him recognisable to audiences beyond cinema.

Parzaan later studied business management and explored opportunities outside acting. After working with a digital marketing firm, he developed a stronger interest in writing and content production.

He eventually founded Ten Colour Productions, which works on advertisements, music videos, branded content and fiction projects. He also hosts TCP Originals, a filmmaking podcast featuring conversations with writers and filmmakers about screenwriting.

His journey shows how a child actor can build a career in the entertainment industry without remaining in front of the camera.

Why We Aren't Seeing Him Back On The Big Screen Just Yet?

Parzaan's last reported on-screen appearance was in Pocket Mummy in 2017, a project in which he also worked as a writer. Since then, his professional focus has shifted towards filmmaking and production.

Rather than regularly appearing in films, he has chosen to explore other creative roles. His current work keeps him connected to the entertainment industry, even if audiences do not see him acting as often.
