Antara Mali was born in Mumbai to a well known Indian photographerJagdish Mali.[citation needed] She is married to Che Kurrien, the editor ofGQ magazine since 12 June 2009.[1]
Mali's father had a history of diabetes and other illness. On being contacted after he was reported found disoriented in the streets, Antara Mali claimed that she was not in a position to take responsibility for her parent as she was soon to become a mother.[2][3][4][5][6]

Antara Mali made her acting debut in the1998 filmDhoondte Reh Jaaoge!. The film, however, flopped. The next year was released her filmPrema Katha directed byRam Gopal Varma. Afterwards, Varma became Mali's frequent collaborator appearing in several of his films such asMast (1999),Road (2002),Company (2002) andDarna Mana Hai (2003). Although Mali's performances were praised by critics, most of them did not do well at the box office.
