Биография
Taaha could be identified as one of those rare individuals who dropped out of school for its lack of teaching him what he really wanted to learn about- finding his own self! He was born in Abu Dhabi, to Shah Sikkander Badusha, a doctor and Mahnaz Sikkander Badusha. He has an elder brother, Abid, who is a Civil Engineer from the University of Toronto, Canada.
Taaha's education has seen quite some globetrotting, to say the least. He studied at the Sherwood academy in Abu Dhabi till the 4th grade, then shifted to a boarding school called the Kodaikanal International School located at Tamil Nadu in India, where he continued his education for the next 3 years. Feeling homesick, he returned back to UAE but later shifted to Sharjah with his family, where he finished his schooling at Choueifat International School and Sharjah American School.
College life was short lived as he joined American University of Sharjah only for a Semester but dropped out of his Bachelor of Business Administration Course, as he "couldn't find himself in it". Three years later, he would take admissions to the New York Film Academy-School of Acting in Abu Dhabi, which would set the pedestal to create his own history of sorts.
For 3 years since the age of 18, Taaha worked with his Mother in their businesses of Human Resource, Construction, Real Estate, Building Materials, Import / Export and as a hobby did a few modelling assignments. Unfortunately when the financial crisis hit, he got out of business and ventured into acting. On completion of 6 months at NYFA in 2009, he was about to leave for Los Angeles to complete the remainder of his course. Taaha woke up one day to tell his mom that he wanted to visit Mumbai just for 2 days to see what Bollywood looks like, before he took off to LA but little did they know that Mumbai would never allow those two days to come to an end, as 6 months later, he would sign his Debut Film in the Lead with Yash Raj's Y Films - Luv Ka The End with Shraddha Kapoor as his Co-Star, in which he played an Anti-Hero, the first of a kind in the youth genre. Taaha was discovered by Bollywood's Famous Casting Director Shanoo Sharma while auditioning for the film.
Taaha was next chosen to play a teenage heartthrob in Karan Johar's "Gippi" which hit the screens in 2013 followed by his role as Jatin in the film Barkhaa.
Continuing his spree of being selected by top Production Houses, Taaha was next seen in the Excel Entertainment, Dharma Production and Eros International's Baar Baar Dekho in 2016 alongside Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra. He was critically appreciated for the role, especially in the phase where Taaha is seen playing a 55 year old. .
Taaha will next be seen in renowned Bollywood Actor Anupam Kher's Production "Gunday Aur Gudiya" where he is touted to play a Lead Character set in rural India. It has been anticipated that Taaha will be seen in a never seen before role in this film and the Director was impressed by his ability to mould himself in sync with the directors vision and script requirement that needed his role to have a complete rural makeover, physically and character wise.
