A Brief Bio of Farooq Sheikh

Farooq Sheikh was born on 25th March 1948 in Amroli district, Gujarat to Mustafa Sheikh and Farida. He was an Indian actor, Philanthropist and a popular television presenter by profession.

Having the privilege of growing up in a luxurious surrounding due to his father being a lawyer and extended family being Zamindars, he attended St. Mary’s School and later went to St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai.

After graduating from junior college, Farooq went onto pursuing the same career that his father excelled at from Siddharth College of Law. Later did he realise the profession chosen was not what he could relate to and gradually moved into acting. This happened only in the final year when he was approached by a renowned film director; M.S. Sathyu for a directorial debut to play a supporting role in Garam Hawa, which later credited for being a pioneer of a new wave of Hindi Art cinema.

Popularity in the eyes of the public was not gained by Farooq through this debut film due to him having a supporting role. He then went onto anchoring shows such as Yuvadarshan and Young World on Bombay Doordarshan that made him a household name.

During college days Farooq also met his spouse, Rupa Jain with whom he has 3 children; Rubina Shaikh, Shaista Shaikh, Sanaa Shaikh.

Farooq Sheikh died of a heart attack on the 27th December 2013 in Dubai where he had gone for a holiday with his family.
