Born in Longsight, Manchester, England Afshan Azad has a net worth of $1.5 Million. Azad’s acting career began in 2005 when she was cast in the supporting role of Padma Patil in the Harry Potter films. Azad went on to play Patil in all five of the Harry Potter movies. Azad was cast in the Harry Potter film almost by chance, as casting agents visited her school searching for individuals to play characters in the movies. After trying out just for fun, Azad was surprised to have received the role. Outside of acting, Azad has had the dubious honor of being in the press because of her brother and father being arrested on assault charges. Apparently angry that Azad was dating a non-Muslim man, her father and brother allegedly threatened to kill her. Ultimately, Azad’s father and brother were found not guilty of threatening to kill her. The brother however, was sentenced to 6-months in prison for assault charges.
