Boman Irani reflects on losing his father before he was born: ‘Mujhe pata hi nahi hai ki father kya hota hai'
Veteran actor Boman Irani , who is known for delivering some of Bollywood's most iconic and emotionally resonant performances in films such as 3 Idiots, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Munna Bhai MBBS, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Dunki and many others, recently opened up about the deep personal void left by the absence of his father, a man he never got to meet. In a recent conversation with Raj Shamani, the Munna Bhai MBBS star revealed that his father passed away before he was born, and as a result, he grew up never knowing what it felt like to receive a father's love. 'Jo maine aaj tak mehsoos hi nahi kiya, toh uska loss kaise mehsoos karenge? Mujhe pata hi nahi hai ki father kya hota hai,' Boman said. 'I had other complications. I was a nervous child. Father nahi hone pe ghar ke log zyada protective ho jaate hai, and that becomes a comfort zone. Toughness nahi thi mere mein. Jab main chhota tha, maine dekha hi nahi tha 'mard' (a father figure).' Boman Irani marks 38th wedding anniversary with pictures with wife Zenobia 'I'm not trying to fill the void' The actor will next be seen in the upcoming film Detective Sherdil, where he plays the role of a father. When asked whether playing such roles stirs up any emotions related to the absence of his own father, Boman responded with introspection. 'There is a void. I don't know if it really means anything. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia acima de 100?

'My age became the biggest…': Boman Irani on how his age shaped his Bollywood journey
In a world of glitz and glamour, where people are obsessed with youth and overnight fame, there is an actor who is Bollywood's glorious exception — a man who arrived late but left early impressions. He is none other than Boman Irani. For Boman, before the lights, camera, and rolling tape, his life revolved around a different lens — the one on his camera. However, when he started his journey in Bollywood with the film Josh in 2000, he left everyone's jaws dropped. Over the years, he became part of superhit films such as Munna Bhai MBBS, Don, 3 Idiots, Happy New Year, and more. Now, Boman is all set to feature in his next project Detective Sherdil on Zee5 Global, which stars Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Banita Sandhu, Ratna Pathak Shah, and more. In a recent exclusive conversation with Boman talked about his upcoming film and also addressed the pressure of being a 'late boomer' in Bollywood. When we asked him whether starting his career at 44 ever made him feel the pressure of entering the industry in his 40s — given the fact that Bollywood is an industry where youth is often equated with success, the actor replied, 'My age has been my advantage. People have always given a plus point for being and reinventing myself as an actor, writer, and a director as the years have gone by. So why should age have anything to do with my skills? My mind is youthful, and I'm happy about it!' Coming back to Detective Sherdil, Boman shared insights about his role and screen time. With the trailer being released, Boman's character is shown as a rich head of the family who gets murdered in the first scene, leaving audiences curious about what comes next. Talking about the role, Boman said, 'You are right, pehle hi scene mein Mr. Bhati (my character) gets murdered. But through the whole investigation, in the scenes where characters are being interrogated, he keeps coming through the film. He's right there till the end. Though it is not a very big role, I am happy to do it.' He further added, 'Dekho, role ke length se main agar apna career judge karta toh main kuch nahi karta na life mein. So people have to understand that despite roles being small, you have to enjoy it.' Meanwhile, Boman also made a powerful debut at Cannes 2025 to represent his film Tanvi The Great. For the last two decades, Boman has been enthralling his fans, and the audience wants to see more of him in future films!
