Dopo l’infanzia e l’adolescenza trascorsi in Iran e il completamento degli studi universitari decide di tornare in Afghanistan. Qui sviluppa una passione per il cinema, che lo porta per la prima volta in Italia nel 2006, invitato alla Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica di Venezia insieme a due colleghi.
