Key facts

  • Perizaad Zorabian co-starred with Amitabh Bachchan in Bollywood
  • Left the film industry after marriage
  • Now runs Zorabian poultry business worth ₹120 crore

Under her stewardship, the business scaled significantly, reaching revenues that would be the envy of many corporate ventures.
