Bio
Shenaz Treasury was born in a middle-class Parsi family. Her dad is a Merchant Marine. After completing school she enrolled in St. Xavier’s College. It was during her first year in this college that she was discovered by a photographer.
She started her career as a model and has appeared in many TV commercials like Gold Spot, Philips, Trigger Jeans, Akai and Elle 18. She then started working as a Veejay for MTV.
During 2001, Shenaz moved to New York to enroll in the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute, and also took a writing course at New York University. She was thrilled to complete the eight-month course at the Strasberg Institute, whose alumni include Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
She made quite a dramatic entry into Bollywood after she lost her luggage, passport and visa papers while traveling by Kuwait Airways, and as result was unable to return to New York. This incident proved to be an advantage as she was approached by Ken Ghosh, who signed her for a role in “Ishq Vishk,” for which she was nominated for best supporting actress. She has since acted in several other movies.
Her hobbies include photography, piano, guitar, jet skiing, and travel. This natural beauty, with a dimpled and toothy smile atop curved lips, is ranked amongst the “Top 100 Beautiful Women.”
She is also host on Travel Channel’s “Culture Shock,” and his written travel articles for several magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Femina, and Elle.
