Meet actress who married an 18-year-older muslim man, got divorced in 8 years, has worked with Hritik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, her name is.., she is now married to..
In the glamorous world of showbiz, the dazzling and picture-perfect life of celebrities often takes center stage, but there's a lot that happens that doesn't meet the eye. When the curtain falls, we often discover complex interpersonal relationships and complicated family dynamics of many stars, which are often overshadowed by superficial perfection.
One such story is of an actress who was known more for her personal life than her work. The mother of three, this 52-year-old actress has made her mark in the TV and film industries. She has even worked with the 'Badshah' of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, in a blockbuster.
The person we're talking about is none other than Tannaz. With a life that was no less than a rollercoaster, Tannaz got married for the first time when she was only 20. She tied the knot with a theatre actor, singer, and performer, Farid Currim. The duo had an age difference of 18 years, and it was Farid's personality and passion that drew Tannaz towards him.
In an interview, Tanaaz openly confessed, reflecting on her first marriage, 'I wanted to work, party, and enjoy life. He was a good man, but we were at different stages of life. It was just bad timing.'. This mature take of Tanaaz spoke about moving on with grace, without holding any grudges or ill feelings towards his ex.
In 2006, Tanaaz gave love a second chance. While shooting for a reality show called Gurukul, she met an actor, Bakhtiyaar Irani, and eventually both fell in love and tied the knot in 2007. Later, the duo embraced parenthood as they got blessed with two kids, Son Zeus and daughter Zara. However, her elder daughter from her first marriage, Zianne, lives with her biological father.
But much like her first marriage, her second marriage also came with a lot of struggles. Since Bakhtiyaar was a Muslim and Tannaz was Parsi. In an interview, she shared, 'I belonged to the Parsi community. But the moment I married outside it, I was excluded'. Later, she embraced Bakhtiyaar and his faith wholeheartedly.
Speaking of Tannaz's work, she has carved her niche in the TV and film industry, both with her work like Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, 36 China Town, and Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, while also making a mark on TV with shows like Kkusum, Badi Door Se Aaye Hain, and Bigg Boss 3, proving herself as a versatile actress.

From 18 Years Older To 7 Years Younger: How Tannaz Irani Defied Norms In Love
Last Updated: Tannaz Irani's journey through love, heartbreak, and resilience shows how she broke norms, remarried against odds, and thrived in both family life and acting career Celebrity marriages, especially those of actresses, have always fascinated their fans. Who they marry, when they marry, and why – it all sparks endless curiosity and commentary. Indian cinema, too, reflects this shift. While many actresses today marry in their 40s, it wasn't long ago that tying the knot in their teens or early twenties was the norm. Tannaz Irani is one such actress whose personal journey mirrors the evolving norms of society and the emotional rollercoaster of love. At just 20, she entered her first marriage with Farid Currim, a respected theatre artist, singer, and performer, who was 18 years her senior. Though the significant age gap raised eyebrows, Tannaz Irani was captivated by Farid Currim's talent and emotional depth. The couple welcomed a daughter, Zianne, and shared eight years of marriage. But time began to reveal the cracks. While Tannaz Irani was still full of youthful energy, eager to build her career and enjoy life, Farid Currim had already lived through those phases. In a candid interview, Tannaz Irani once reflected, 'I wanted to party and focus on work, but he had already experienced that phase. We were in different places in life." Eventually, the two parted ways. Their daughter Zianne remained with her father, and Tannaz Irani carried on; heart bruised but spirit unbroken. Love Comes Knocking Again Then, in 2006, when she least expected it, love came knocking on Tannaz Irani's door again. While participating in the reality show Gurukul, she met actor Bakhtiyaar Irani. Younger by seven years and of a different faith, Bakhtiyaar Irani was an unlikely match yet their connection was undeniable. Their relationship was met with resistance. Bakhtiyaar Irani's family strongly opposed the match due to the age difference. But love, once again, found its way. With support from Bakhtiyaar Irani's sister, actress Delnaaz Irani, and elder brother, Paurus Irani, the couple stood strong against the odds and tied the knot in 2007. Tannaz Irani, a Parsi by faith, also faced criticism from her own community for marrying outside her religion. But she remained steadfast in her choice. Today, she shares a joyful life with Bakhtiyaar Irani, a testament to the fact that love, when true, is worth fighting for. Family And Career Highlights Tannaz and Bakhtiyaar Irani are parents to two children: son Zeus (born in 2008) and daughter Zara (born in 2011). Tannaz Irani continues to maintain a respectful co-parenting relationship with her elder daughter, Zianne. Professionally, Tannaz Irani has enjoyed a long and varied career in both cinema and television. She played notable supporting roles in films like Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), Humara Dil Aapke Paas Hai (2000), Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein (2001), Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002), Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon (2003), Kuch Naa Kaho (2003) and 36 China Town (2006). On television, she became a familiar face with roles in KKusum, Yeh Meri Life Hai, Badi Doooor Se Aaye Hain, and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum. Tannaz Irani also gained popularity through reality shows like Bigg Boss 3 and Nach Baliye, where she and Bakhtiyaar Irani reached the top three finalists. First Published:

Meet actress, whose father is Hindu, mother is Muslim, she is a Christian, dated two married actors, still single, name is ..
Some celebrities become famous not just for their work in the cinema, but also for their lives. This actress from the '90s became famous for her movies in both Bollywood and South Indian films. While her career was successful, her love life was full of ups and downs. She was linked to several married men over the years, with her relationships often making headlines. The one name that comes right at the top is that of the legendary Indian cricketer, Sourav Ganguly. The duo was in a serious relationship in 2001, when the actor was already married to his wife, Dona Ganguly. The rumours of their relationship became so strong that shortly after, it was speculated that the duo had already gotten married secretly in a temple in Andhra Pradesh. Unfortunately, after a few years, the duo called it quits. We are talking about actress Nagma Arvind Morarji, who was seen in big movies like King Uncle, Kunwara, Baaghi, Ek Jind Ek Jaan, Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathiyo, Suhaag an d Lal Baadshah . After making a mark in Bollywood with some hit films, Nagma shifted her focus to South Indian cinema, where she quickly became one of the most famous leading actresses. Nagma was also involved with married actor Sharath Kumar, with rumours of their affair circulating widely. Later, while working in the Bhojpuri film industry, her name was reportedly also linked to Ravi Kishan. The two were seen together on several occasions and also worked in several films. However, they never publicly confirmed their relationship. Later, the actress was allegedly linked to Manoj Tiwari. While rumours of a romance between the two surfaced, they never confirmed or commented on the relationship. Despite all the media attention and heartbreaks, she never got married. In 2008, after a flourishing film career, Nagma made a bold move into politics, retiring from acting to focus on her new political journey. In 2015, she was appointed the general secretary of All India Mahila Congress. Today, Nagma is 50 years old and even in politics, she is in a low profile. Born to a Hindu father and Muslim mother, Nagma is a practising Christian. She was baptised to be a Christian in 2007. In a 2006 interview, she made a direct link between her family history and her political activism: 'My mom is Muslim and my dad is Hindu. We were brought up to respect all religions. She said, 'I personally experienced the Love of Jesus Christ from early on and His uniqueness and identifies herself as a Christian. Communal riots pained me. I wanted to do something. So I joined politics.'

Others thought he could have greeted Scott better, as one user noted, 'He didn't even look at her at first.' The moment got people talking about faith and respect.
