About Sheikh Amir

Xec Amirodin (born 11 November 1961), known professionally as Sheikh Amir, is an Indian impressionist, singer, actor, comedian, and theatre director known for his work in Konkani films and tiatr productions. Referred to as the "Mimicry King", he is known for his versatile performances, having mastered the styles of 40 politicians and tiatr singers.

Early life Amirodin received his early education at Mahatme High School, Panjim. Throughout his school years, he actively participated in various stage performances and showcased his acting skills on Marathi stages. However, his passion for the Konkani stage eventually drew him towards that particular form of theater.

Impressed by his performance, Sangodkar promptly secured Amirodin for the remaining shows of Vatt Chukli. Subsequently, Amirodin was cast by John Claro in the plays Vinglli Nachpinn (Naked Dancer) and Civil Kazar (Civil Marriage). However, it was Fr. Freddy J. da Costa who played a pivotal role in fostering Amirodin's acting career, providing guidance and encouragement. Collaborating with Jacinto Vaz, Amirodin formed a comedic partnership that delighted audiences in successful productions like Utt Goemkara (Wake-up Goan), Khata Pita Dev Dita (Eat, Drink for God Gives), and Goemcho Avaz (The Goan Voice)." He resides with his wife Anisa. He has two children, Anif and Ameera.

Amid discussions of his solo performances, Amirodin expressed reservations. Regarding the readiness of Goan audiences for hour-long shows delivered solely in Konkani, the regional language. He articulated that his typical stage appearances involve playing a role for a duration of 15 to 20 minutes, followed by a change in costume to present a new comedic act. Amirodin emphasized the importance of maintaining versatility on stage, believing that performing a one-character show with a single costume would present challenges. Additionally, he expressed a fondness for singing, drawing inspiration from artists such as M. Boyer, Jacint Vaz, and H. Britton, yet acknowledged that this endeavor necessitates the accompaniment of a skilled keyboardist. 1980s–1990s Utt Goemkara Singer Debut as an impressionist Vinglli Nachpinn
