Being such a prolific actor, Aftab likes to keep his personal life away from the limelight as much as possible. For the unversed, the actor is married to Nin Dusanj, and the duo is parents to their daughter, Nevaeh. Back in July 2021, Aftab had dropped glimpses of his daughter for the first time ever on her first birthday and had penned a sweet note, expressing his happiness on having his daughter in his life. He had penned:
“Exactly a year ago, our family grew by two feet. Our dearest beloved Nevaeh, you came into our lives and changed them forever. A change that has brought out the best in us as parents and as human beings. Thank you for choosing us as your parents. Happy 1st birthday our little heaven, we love you now and forever. Keep shining beautiful one, the world needs your light. Love, Mummy and Daddy."
In an earlier interview with ETimes, Aftab had opened up about his journey as an actor and mentioned the countless struggles he faced to establish himself, as a result of not coming from a privileged film family background. He shared that he never had a guiding voice of wisdom, who would point him to the best course of his career, and as a result of which he never got things easy in the film industry.

In yet another of his previous interviews with Koimoi, Aftab had spilled beans on taking a long hiatus from films, and even having a low profile, when it came to his personal life. For the unversed, Aftab made a comeback with the film, 1920-Evil Returns 2012. Revealing how it was not a deliberate effort to stay away from the silver screen, the actor had said:
“It was not at all a deliberate effort from my end to take a break from films. I was not kind of happy with the offers that I was getting at that point of time. So I decided to go off the radar for sometime and wait for the right kind of a role. Instead, I also got the opportunity to come, work on myself. Then finally after a long tenure of two years, I got 1920’s offer and I loved it. In fact I am very excited about the film.”
