Golshifteh was the daughter of theater actor and director, Behzad Farahani; this influenced her to a large degree, and she started studying music and playing the piano when she was just five years old. A year later she also started a theater career, then enrolled at a music school and continued developing her love for acting through music.

Apart from acknowledgement, this brought her considerable popularity, and made her into one of the Iranian cinema’s stars.
