Growing up in Kashmir shaped his perspective; he has spoken publicly about the challenges of living amid political unrest in the region.

Career

Durrani’s earliest film work came behind the camera when he worked as an assistant director on the 2017 film Shab. That experience led to his casting by director Onir in the lead role of Alfaaz for the 2018 film Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz, marking his on-screen debut.
