Early life and background

Delbar Arya was born in Cologne, Germany, and grew up in that city. She comes from a family engaged in the arts: her father worked as an actor in Iran for more than five decades and her mother is a singer.

Subsequent music-video projects included “Oh Oh Jane Jaana” in 2020 with Gurashish Singh and “I Think” in 2023, in which she appeared alongside singer Sajjan Adeeb and actor Jimmy Shergill.

Her screen career moved into Punjabi cinema with a film debut in 2022. In 2023 she played the role of Tania in the romantic comedy Tu Hovein Main Hovan, sharing the screen with Jimmy Shergill.

Beyond music videos and films, Delbar has appeared in a number of television commercials for well-known brands. Her commercial work includes spots for Patanjali’s Kesh Kanti hair oil and rice, an advertisement for The Kashmiri Life tourism campaign alongside Amitabh Bachchan, a Dream11 commercial featuring MS Dhoni, and promotions for Canon EOS R3 and Nandu brand lungies.
