Early life

Ashwni Dhir was born in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, into a Punjabi family. His father worked as a manager with Punjab National Bank, and Dhir completed his schooling at Christ Church College in Kanpur. He later graduated with a degree in Economics and subsequently studied journalism. From a young age, he developed an interest in Sufi music and in Hindi and Urdu literature, often spending his pocket money on books and recordings. Dhir has credited his early exposure to Hindi and Urdu poetry for shaping his literary sensibilities and his later decision to pursue writing for film and television. After watching films such as Ankush and Pratighat, he became convinced that cinema was a director’s medium. Although he was not selected for the direction course at the National School of Drama, he briefly worked as a medical representative before moving to Mumbai at the age of 21 to begin a career in the entertainment industry.
