For the uninitiated, the actress first gained attention for her acting when she made her debut in the short film, MediocreHowever, Muskkaan’s second major project was with Hollywood director Don Sefton, who cast her in his television series, Good Karma Hospital.

Then Indian director Vandana Kataria cast Muskkaan Jaferi in her English-language film, Noblemanwhich was released on Netflix.

After a three-year hiatus, Muskkaan made a magnificent comeback on Netflix with the web series, Game of fame.She played the lead role in the show, Madhuri Dixit’s on-screen daughter in the web series. The mother-daughter bond of Madhuri and Muskkaan was one of the highlights of the entire show.

Once, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Madhuri Dixit spoke about working with Muskkaan Jaferi. The iconic actress praised the young girl and admitted that she had the potential to become a big star in the film industry. However, she also admitted that Muskkaan never told her that she was the daughter of one of the greatest comedians in Indian cinema till date, Jagdeep Jaffrey. Recalling her conversation with Muskkaan, Madhuri said,

“Muskaan never told me that she was Jagdeep’s daughter and Javed’s half-sister. I thought to myself, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ To that, Muskaan replied, ‘I want to be recognised for my name and work.’

Call me darling actress Muskkaan Jaferi is the daughter of Jagdeep Jaffrey, also known as “Soorma Bhopali” and Najima Jaffrey

For the uninitiated, Muskkaan Jaferi is the daughter of legendary comedian and actor, Jagdeep Jaffrey and Najima Jaffrey. The iconic actor passed away on July 8, 2020 due to a prolonged illness, and with his death, the golden era of comedians in Indian cinema came to an end. Jagdeep worked with some of the greatest actors of Hindi cinema in a career spanning six decades. He was such a huge personality in Hindi cinema that India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, gifted Jagdeep his personal staff for a while as a token of appreciation for his work in P. L. Santoshi’s film, Hum Panchhi Ek Dal.

Muskkaan Jaferi is Jaaved Jaaferi’s half-sister and here’s why her parents’ marriage broke his heart

Jagdeep Jaferi has married three times in his life and has six children from three wives. His first marriage was to Naseem Begum and the former couple welcomed three children, Hussain Jaffery, Suraiya Jaffery and Shakira Shafi. Jagdeep’s second marriage was to Sughra Begum and the latter gave birth to two sons, Jaaved Jaaferi and Naved Jaaferi. The iconic actor’s third marriage was to Najima and the couple welcomed a baby girl, whom they named Muskkaan.

Well, the reason we haven’t seen Muskkaan Jaferi and Jaaved Jaferi together at events or parties is that they reportedly have some differences. As per many reports, Jaaved was unhappy with his father Jagdeep Jaffrey’s third marriage to Najima. For the uninitiated, Jagdeep once spoke to his family about his son Naved’s marriage and both the families met at the comedian’s house. While Naved refused to get married at that time as he wanted to focus on his career, it was his father Jagdeep who instantly fell in love with the elder sister of the girl his son Naved almost got married to.

Despite being married twice and having five children, Jagdeep Jaffrey was reluctant to get married and even proposed to a girl. To everyone’s surprise, Najima accepted his marriage proposal and they tied the knot. This came as a huge blow to Jagdeep’s son Jaaved Jaaferi who couldn’t believe that his father had married a girl who was 33 years younger to him. Since then, it is said that there has been an invisible rift between the father-son duo, Jagdeep and Jaaved. As a result, we have rarely seen the half-siblings, Jaaved and Muskkaan together. We hope that Muskkaan takes his family’s legacy to even greater heights in the near future.
