Salim Diwan was born in the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, India. He was a part of various theatre groups during his school days. However, he decided to join his father's pharmaceutical company after graduation and opened alcohol de-addiction centres all over India. Later, he participated in a reality talent show called Jet Set Go and went on to win an IIFA award in Dubai. It was during this stint that Salim re-connected with his passion for cinema and decided to pursue a career in acting. He is making his debut in Bollywood Diaries, where he plays a Bollywood-obsessed call-center executive.

In 2005-06 I participated in a reality show “JET SET GO” on Star Plus and was the given IIFA award in Dubai.  I was awarded $1000 and seven days stay in Dubai, where I met many Bollywood Stars. This award made my desire strong to venture in Bollywood. I joined popular acting institute in 2010.

In the initial days of struggle it was very difficult to survive, I thought to quit the industry and go back to my family business. But my destiny was different. I continued sharpening my acting skill through various theatre groups.

“Bollywood Dairies” is very close to my heart, as it is everybody’s dream for Bollywood to make big.
