Boman Irani, the man known for his versatile acting and a great sense of humor, recently was in a chat with Humans of Bombay.
Boman and his wife Zenobia are married for the last 35 years and have two sons, Danesh and Kayoze. The evergreen couples are still deeply in love with each other and so does their love story lights up the face of anyone who hears it.
In the chat, Boman spoke about his first date with his wife Zenobia, about how he proposed her on the very first date itself. Talking about love at first sight, Boman shared, “It was love at first sight when Zenobia walked into my Wafer Shop. She made my day with just minutes of conversation. Soon, she began visiting every day and I knew she liked me too- I mean, who needs so many wafers?”
He added, “across-the-counter chats turned into calls. We’d talk about everything. But during her BSc exams, her dad said, ‘If you don’t mind, please don’t call for a month, she’s getting distracted!’ It was tough, but it cemented my feelings…”
Talking about their first date, Boman said, “Finally, after her exams, we went on our first date. But before we even got the menus, I blurted, ‘I think we should get married!’ Kids these days will think I was bonkers but I didn’t need to figure it out. I knew she was the one. You know what she said next? ‘Ya, of course. Oh! Wait! I forgot my umbrella: I’d just proposed and that’s what she said! She thought it was raining when it was just the sound of a sizzler plate!
That night, I knew 2 things. I was going to marry her & I wouldn’t need a TV- we had all the entertainment we needed. Guess I was right- we still joke about that night!”
Presently, with 2 grandchildren, the couple still spark with the love between them.
On the work front, Boman Irani will be next seen in Kabir Khan’s 83, co-starring Ranveer Singh and a host of other brilliant actors, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar, another Ranveer Singh film.
