Meet actor, who lost his father before birth, grew up in poverty, worked as a waiter, became star at 44, acted in over 70 films, is now..., name is...
Before he became Bollywood's go-to scene-stealer in 3 Idiots, PK, and Munna Bhai MBBS, Boman Irani lived a life far removed from arc lights and applause. His cinematic chapter didn't even begin until the age of 44, when most are scripting their second acts, he was getting his first take. What childhood challenges shaped Boman Irani's resilience? Born just after his father's death, Boman faced hardship early. 'My father passed away before I was born,' he revealed. His mother raised him in deep debt, working tirelessly to repay loans without letting him suffer. That foundation of struggle would fortify him for years to come. How did a stammering introvert transform into a celebrated actor? For years, Boman was quiet, shy, and riddled with stammering. 'I had a stammer. I was shy. I barely spoke…I was terrified of people. But today, if I start speaking, you won't be able to stop me.' His public persona couldn't be more different from the self-effacing child he once was. Why did Boman Irani start chasing his dreams at 32? At 32, Boman decided to pursue photography amid financial strain. He took on loans to repay other loans and started acting in the theatre to cope. His early 30s began a life pivot built on grit, not fame. Boman landed his first film, Let's Talk, at 44. Despite no box-office impact, the script caught Vidhu Vinod Chopra's attention. 'He handed me a cheque—I didn't know why. I've still kept it safe,' Boman smiles—proof that small acts can become life-changing. The film that changed Boman Irani's life Just eight months later, Chopra cast him as Dr. Asthana in Munna Bhai MBBS. That role, created for his distinct presence and humour, became his breakthrough: 'It was a hit. Everything changed after that.' Here's how a former hotel waiter conquered Indian cinema Before fame, Boman worked as a waiter and room-service staff member at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and helped manage his mother's bakery. Later, he pivoted to photography and has appeared in over 90 films, earning acclaim and box-office success. At 65, Boman still has several exciting projects in the pipeline, bringing his unique authenticity and magnetism to each role. His story shows that talent doesn't wait for age—it's the persistence to keep walking toward the dream that matters.
