Aasif Mandvi hails from a Dawoodi Bohra Muslim family, the son of Hakim, who was the owner of a corner shop, and Fatima, who worked as a nurse. When he was a baby, the family moved to Bradford, England, where he spent one part of his childhood, attending the independent Woodhouse Grove School.

Right after graduating, Aasif started to pursue his career in the entertainment industry, performing at the Walt Disney World Resort and Disney-MGM Studios.
