{ THIS OR THAT? }
With more than 26million followers on Instagram and 9 million on Youtube, Awez Darbar has become a social media sensation, thanks to his smooth dance moves and ebullient personality. Though his father is composer Ismail Darbar, the Mumbai boy knew dance was his calling. “I started as a dancer-choreographer with Shiamak Davar. I would make videos and upload them on various apps. The next thing you know, I have millions of followers!” he says.
Today, Awez has his own studio in Mumbai, has bought a house and his first car, enabling him to give his family the life he only dreamt of before. And family comes first, he says. His bedroom wall is filled with pictures of friends and family. Ask him the one thing he’s good at, and he laughs, “I would definitely win an Indian sweets eating contest.”

When was the last time you regretted doing something?

Your midnight munch?
Midnight munching is my biggest enemy, especially because it pairs so well with binge-watching. But over time, I’ve switched to healthy snacks like oat laddoos.
