Nawaz’s early life

Having been born in Mumbai, Nawaz is the middle child of her parents. She has an elder and a younger brother. Her father, a lawyer, parted ways with her mother when the fitness enthusiast was 10 years old.

Nawaz too holds a degree in law. She completed her schooling in Mumbai. Later, she received a bachelor’s degree in Arts from St. Xavier’s College in the city. She went on to pursue a law degree from Government Law College and KC Law College, both in Mumbai.

Nawaz’s career track

Having developed an interest in sports from a young age, she was thoroughly into fitness by the time she was in college. She also went to the United States to get trained by the International Dance Exercise Association (IDEA) and the American Council of Exercise (ACE).

Even before returning to India, she began providing classes after receiving an official certificate from the institute. Later, she launched her own venture, the Body Art Fitness centres, in Mumbai.
