Kahlil was raised in a diverse town called Edison, New Jersey, surrounded by residents whose bottled up uneasiness about the influx of brown people turned them into Trump supporters 25 years later. Kahlil is the product of an Indian father and a Puerto Rican mother, who met on vacation in a love-at-first-sight Bollywood-style scenario.

Being the child of a businessman and a computer systems analyst, Kahlil naturally gravitated toward the complete opposite of that: creativity. Whether it was making songs with his cousins in Puerto Rico (which they still do), forcing his family in India to repeatedly act out his theatrical version of the Three Little Pigs, turning his left and right hand into an action/comedy duo, or playing “Survivor” with bathtub toys, storytelling has always been Kahlil’s passion. (By the way, if you’re curious who won bathtub-toy “Survivor,” it was a little pink and green shovel).

Today, Kahlil is proud to have a BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Since graduating in 2015, Kahlil's pilot “Revenge Tour” has won awards at the LA Film Festival, ITV Fest, and South by Southwest. Kahlil is currently based in LA, and he is represented by Haven Entertainment.
