Born on July 30, 1988, Muhammad Shahrizal Jaszle Jasmin is of mixed Chinese, Pakistani, and Malay descent, being the fifth of seven siblings.

To pursue this ambition, he enrolled in a hotel and catering course at Kolej Komuniti in Selangor, aiming to build a career in the culinary arts.

1.2. Early Career Experiences

During his studies, Shahz Jaszle gained practical experience working as a waiter at a TGI Friday restaurant. His entry into the entertainment industry was largely coincidental; he initially accompanied a friend to an audition for the television program Naratif Remaja. While there, he was encouraged to try out himself and was ultimately selected. This unexpected opportunity marked his debut in the performing arts. Following his participation in Naratif Remaja, he began to receive offers for acting roles and actively engaged in modeling assignments, gradually shifting his focus from his culinary aspirations to a burgeoning career in entertainment.

Shahz Jaszle officially began his journey in the Malaysian entertainment industry in 2006.

His acting career further solidified with his role as Fendi in the TV series Luna Fantasiku, after which he received more consistent offers for dramas, including Tari Tirana, which further elevated his profile.

2.2. Rise to Popularity

Shahz Jaszle's presence in the industry began to capture widespread attention and garnered a significant following, particularly after his impactful performance as Asmara in the television series of the same name. This role, where he played a teenager forced into marriage, earned him critical acclaim and made him a popular figure. His subsequent roles in other successful TV series, such as Gemilang, where he played Saifullah, and Tahajjud Cinta, in which he portrayed Azihan, further cemented his status as a leading actor and contributed to his widespread popularity by 2011.

2.3. Career Adjustments and Personal Impact

Following a significant personal incident in 2013, Shahz Jaszle made considerable adjustments to his career management and public approach. On February 21, 2014, he announced that he had appointed his sister as his manager, citing a lack of trust in external parties after his 2013 arrest. He emphasized a heightened sense of caution in his professional life, leading his mother, Zaleha, to accompany him to all filming locations and entertainment events. Since the 2013 incident, Shahz Jaszle has maintained a more reserved presence on social media and in his professional interactions, despite receiving continuous acting offers. He explained that his decisions were influenced by the involvement of his wife and children, and possibly an age-related component, leading him to prioritize family life. He limits social engagements after filming, focusing instead on home responsibilities and taking his children to school, driven by a desire to ensure his children do not face future challenges due to his public life.

In recent years, Shahz Jaszle has continued to take on significant roles in both films and dramas. In 2017, he starred as Jeff in the film Lebuhraya Ke Neraka, directed by Mamat Khalid.

He stated that the character, a university student, required him to follow a strict diet of only 500 calories per day. To accelerate his metabolism and reduce fat without experiencing hunger, he followed an HCG diet, which he stated was conducted under the advice and guidance of a clinic.
