Hussain attended Fatima High School in Mumbai and received his BSc degree from Jai Hind College in Mumbai. Hussain has said that during his high school years he had no desire to become an actor and preferred to stay out the public eye. Rather he kept close with his family who also attended the same school as he did. After appearing in a few college theater productions Hussain became more open to options in the media.

After several modeling campaigns and commercials Hussain landed a role in the long running Indian soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
