Rohinton Mistry was born in Bombay, India, to a Parsi family.[2] His brother is the playwright and author Cyrus Mistry. He earned a BA in Mathematics and Economics from St. Xavier's College, Bombay.[3] He emigrated to Canada with his wife-to-be Freny Elavia in 1975 and they married shortly afterwards.[4] He worked in a bank for a while, before returning to academia at the University of Toronto where he obtained a BA in English and Philosophy.
