Sharif Nazir is the father of the late Kal Nazir and also an investor in his son's gym business, V Court Fitness.
Kal attempted to set up the business by his own means, becoming the partner of investor Dev Alahan but he found that he didn't have to financial means to back up his intentions. With great reluctance, Kal was forced to ask his father for the money, knowing that the dominant man would immediately belittle him by taking over the setting-up operations and overriding any objections from Kal and Dev. Within minutes of meeting Dev, he insisted that the fitting-out contract be taken away from Jason Grimshaw and given to someone he knew who was cheaper, telling Dev that his friendship with the young builder shouldn't interfere with a business decision. Kal was vociferous in his objections but his curt and dismissive father ignored his protestations.
