Director and actor Faruk Kabir is an industry kid. His maternal grandfather, Murad, was a well-known character actor. His uncle, Raza Murad, too is an actor and so is his sister, Sanober Kabir. His mother Sabhia is a costume designer. Faruk started his career at a young age as an assistant director to Aziz Mirza in Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and then Santosh Sivan in Asoka. He made his directorial debut with a short film, The Awakening, in 2006 which starred Ajay Devgn. His debut as a feature film director was Allah Ke Banday (2010), which he directed and acted in as well.
