The 94-year-old mother of Boman Irani, Jerbanoo Irani passed away on Wednesday.
The actor shared a post on Instagram giving the news and talked about the role his mother had played in his life since childhood as his father passed away before his birth.
He described how his mother also played the role of his father in his life and wrote, “Jer was 94. She played the role of both mother and father to me,since she was 32.”
He also wrote about her loving relationship and memories of her, “What a spirit she was. Filled with funny stories that only she could tell. The longest arm that always dug deep into her pockets,even when there wasn’t much there. When she sent me to the movies, she made sure all the compound kids came with me. ‘Don’t forget the popcorn’ she would say. She loved her food and her songs and she could fact-check Wikipedia and IMDb in a flash. Sharp, sharp, sharp, till the very end”
He also talked about the advice she gave him that will stay with him forever, “She always said “You are not an actor for people to praise you. You are an actor only so you can make people smile.”
He further added, “Last night she asked for Malai Kulfi and some mango.
She could have asked for the moon and the stars if she wished.
She was, and always will be…….A Star.”
