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.
