Early life & education
Krishna Shroff was born on January 21, 1993 in Mumbai, India. Her parents, Jackie and Ayesha, were firmly established in Bollywood when Shroff was born. As a child, she attended the American School of Bombay with her brother, Tiger Shroff. Since the school was very multicultural, students came from all over the world, and the Shroff siblings were not affected by the stardom of their father.
Krishna Shroff as a filmmaker & basketball coach
As a child of a Bollywood star, Shroff did face the pressure to join Bollywood in the 2010s. While her elder brother, Tiger, easily got a break into the industry with a popular production company, Shroff was rather reluctant to act in movies.
It was reported by various media outlets in India that Shroff was offered a role, which ultimately Alia Bhatt took, in Karan Johar’s 2012 super hit movie Student of the Year. However, since Shroff was more interested in writing and directing movies than in acting, she turned down the offer. In an interview with Flarebuzz, Shroff said, “Bollywood is great, and it’s given my family so much, but it just doesn’t fit my personality”.
In 2015, Shroff collaborated with her teacher and Indian-British filmmaker Reshal Shah Kapoor and produced a 72-minute-long documentary named Black Sheep. The film focused on everyday stories of struggle and empowerment of Mumbai’s transgender community, known as the Hijras. The film included in-depth interviews with transgenders and reportedly took about a month of fieldwork to complete.
Shroff is also a fitness enthusiast and a basketball coach. For years, Shroff provided basketball and other sports and athletic training to high school students of Mumbai. In a 2016 interview with Flrarebuzz, she said:
I’ve chosen a completely different path after experimenting a little bit with filmmaking. Sports have always been my main passion, and I’m extremely lucky to be able to coach basketball and play it as well while doing so. It keeps me happy, healthy, and fit, and I couldn’t ask for anything more.
When asked what she aspired to do in the future, she replied that she would probably team up with her celebrity brother in the near future and establish an organisation that would help the street kids of Mumbai, mainly using tools such as sports, dance and other expressive activities.
Krishna Shroff: personal life & controversies
As reported in several Indian tabloids, Krishna Shroff’s first boyfriend was Spenser Johnson, a family friend of the Shroffs from Brazil and also a sports enthusiast and a trainer. When in a relationship, Shroff and Spenser were open about their relationship. They even shared intimate photos of romancing on a beach in Goa. The photos were widely shared on social media, and republished by various media outlets in India.
When Shroff’s relationship with Spenser came to an end, she was romantically linked to Eban Hyams, an India-born professional basketball player living in Australia. Shroff’s and Hyams’ relationship lasted for less than a year. In 2022, Shroff started dating Abdul Azim Badashika, an MMA fighter from Afghanistan. The couple were seen travelling and doing activities together.
Now Krishna finds her love again and this time the lucky man is an Afghan MMA fighter named Abdul Azim Badashika, their love increasing day by day as you can see the chemistry in Instagram posts.
Krishna Shroff faced criticism for her, what many call, topless photos which she often shared on Instagram. In 2015, she created an online sensation by posting “topless” pictures of herself on Instagram. She said in an interview that the photos were taken casually by her very close friend who is also a trained photographer.
Her parents and her brother supported her well when the criticisms regarding her photos surfaced. Her father Jackie said that he doesn’t like interfering in his kids’ lives and since they were well brought up children, they understood whatever they were doing. He argued that since his daughter was wrapped in a towel, the so-called topless photo wasn’t topless by any means.
Shroff is said to be a very private person and an introvert. She is a close friend of Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty.
