Shopian, Jammu & Kashmir | Special Report
In an era where many young individuals feel bound by traditional career expectations, a young entrepreneur from Shopian is breaking the norm and building his own path. Tanseef Javaid, founder of NTV Films, has turned his passion into a growing creative venture, inspiring many along the way.
Founded in 2019, NTV Films specializes in capturing life’s most important moments — from weddings and engagements to birthdays and other special occasions. But behind the brand lies a journey filled with uncertainty, courage, and determination.
Tanseef’s story began in a completely different direction. Like many students, he spent nearly two years preparing for a career in the medical field and even attempted the NEET examination. However, he soon realized that his heart wasn’t in it.
Instead of continuing down a path that didn’t inspire him, he made a bold choice — he invested in a camera and began exploring videography.
Initially, he started by creating reels and experimenting with content. The turning point came when a friend asked him to shoot a wedding video. That one opportunity sparked a deeper interest and gave him the confidence to pursue this field seriously.
With limited resources, Tanseef borrowed money from friends to purchase three cameras and gradually built a small team. While others handled editing, he focused on shooting and improving his craft. Slowly but steadily, his work began gaining recognition.
However, the journey was far from easy.
He faced criticism, doubt, and negative comments — even from people close to him. Relatives questioned his decisions, and many didn’t believe his work would succeed. Despite this, he remained focused and continued working with consistency and dedication.
Over time, his persistence paid off.
Today, NTV Films has grown into a reliable name in the local creative industry. The team continues to expand, taking on more projects and delivering quality work.
What truly sets NTV Films apart is not just their creativity, but their compassion. The company is known for offering discounted services to underprivileged families, especially helping poor brides, and in some cases, even providing services free of cost.
In 2026, the company reached another milestone by securing a sponsorship with The Nikah Corner, a brand known for customized Nikah products and gifts. As part of this collaboration, NTV Films will handle product shoots, promotional videos, and creative campaigns.
From a confused student to a growing entrepreneur, Tanseef Javaid’s journey reflects the power of following one’s passion despite challenges.
His story stands as a reminder that success does not always come from following the expected path — sometimes, it comes from creating your own.
