She is the daughter of actor Behzad Farahani and sister of actress Shaghayegh Farahani . The name Golshifteh was not accepted by the authorities as a proper name. So the name Rahavard was chosen as an "official" first name. She started studying music and piano from the age of 5. At 12, she entered music school. After graduation she was accepted at the Vienna Conservatory. At the age of 14 she was chosen to play in Daruish Mehrjoui's The Pear Tree for which she won the Simorgh Prize for the Best Actress from the International Section of the 16th Fajr Film Festival in Tehran.
