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).'

'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.

World's 50 best restaurants 2025: Lima's Maido takes the crown
Representational image The 2025 list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants just dropped, and let's just say—it was a big night in Turin, Italy. Maido, a Japanese-Peruvian hotspot in Lima, Peru, officially snagged the No. 1 spot, becoming the second restaurant from Lima to ever top the list. Chef Mitsuharu Tsumura, who's been blending Japanese precision with bold Peruvian flavors, gave a heartfelt shoutout to something we don't talk about enough in the food world—human sustainability. 'We talk a lot about sustainability of the environment, but we rarely talk about human sustainability,' Mitsuhura Tsumura, Maido's chef, told NYTimes. 'I think this industry can be an example of how we can bring people together with the power of food.' In U.S. news, Atomix in NYC dropped to No. 12 (it was No. 6 last year) but still earned bragging rights after winning a James Beard award for hospitality earlier this week. Other American spots on the extended top 100 include SingleThread in California (No. 80), Le Bernardin (No. 90), Atelier Crenn (No. 96), and César (No. 98). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Spain's grill master Asador Etxebarri held strong at No. 2, while Mexico City's Quintonil, Madrid's edgy DiverXO, and Copenhagen's futuristic Alchemist rounded out the top five. The list this year leaned further away from old-school European fine dining and spotlighted places doing wild, creative things with hyperlocal ingredients and eye-popping presentation. A big surprise came from Bangkok's Potong, which debuted at No. 13, and its chef, Pichaya Soontornyanakij, won the 'World's Best Female Chef' award—a title that's been stirring up controversy for years. The World's 50 Best list is voted on by 1,100 'gastronomic experts,' many of whom are chefs, PR folks, or food writers, the media outlet reported.

Damien Priest is not about to miss his "home games" for any reason this summer
Damien Priest (Image via) Damien Priest has been quietly making his place in the WWE from the very beginning, and his tenure with the SmackDown brand only shows how much he has grown over the years. He was last seen at the Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24, where he faced off against Drew McIntyre in a rematch contested in a Steel Cage match. Priest won the match by escaping the cage, ending his feud with the latter. McIntyre has since taken some time off to heal and recover from multiple injuries that he suffered. And looks like it could be the same for Priest. Is Damien Priest planning to take some time off the ring? Rumors are afloat that Damien Priest could be taking some time off from wrestling this summer, which could possibly mean that he would miss out on SummerSlam. After Liv Morgan 's unexpected injury, she will need time to recuperate, and many think Priest could be joining her on the same. But the wrestling star has shut off that idea totally, saying there is no way he will miss his "home games." Fightful Select had previously reported that Priest is pretty "banged up" after facing off against McIntyre, but the Archer of Infamy seems eager to come back to the ring during the SummerSlam event, which will happen over two nights in New Jersey. And given that Priest himself is from New York, it's easy to understand why he would count this event to be "home games." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 남재현 원장, 복부둘레 반토막 내는 "이것".. 똥뱃살 빼고 싶다면? 남재현 체지방 다이어트 더 알아보기 Undo Sources inside WWE are also very happy with his dedication, and "noted that working through Summerslam seemed to be important to him as it's a 'home game' for him." Drew McIntyre is on a long hiatus from the ring, but his opponent is not taking off for now, and we will see him at the SummerSlam event, set to take place over the weekend of August 2 and August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Rapper Cardi B will be hosting the event, and it will be two nights of extra fun and chaos in WWE.
