Gather round, my Bollywood buffs, as we raise a toast to one of the most enduring love stories amidst the glitz and glam of tinsel town! Boman Irani, our very own lovable on-screen dad, and his angelic better half Zenobia, are celebrating an epic 40 years of marital bliss today! 🎉 Let’s dive into this tale of love, sprinkled with my own brand of spicy commentary, shall we?
Ah, Boman and Zenobia, the couple that makes us believe in forever! They’ve been married since back in 1985 when perms were in vogue and shoulder pads ruled the world. To commemorate their ruby anniversary, Boman shared a heartwarming post on Instagram, making us all reach for the tissues.
In the post, the duo is seen donning flower garlands, with balloons declaring their endless love. Boman, ever the charmer, quipped about Zenobia’s dual nature, "So it bugs me when the whole world thinks you’re this darling angel. Only I know what a real pain in the behind you can be. 40 years of experience." Talk about honesty, eh? But he sweetly adds, "Who wants to marry an angel??? I got a pain in the behind who is also an angel."
And of course, Bollywood’s glitterati couldn’t resist chiming in. The ever-hilarious Farah Khan joked, "Happy anniversary you 2. Could have been me Bomzi if only u had waited." 😂 Meanwhile, Divya Dutta went all mushy with, "Awwwwwiiieeee." And Maria Goretti sent love and hugs galore to the couple.
Now, let’s rewind to how it all began. Legend has it that Boman was struck by Cupid’s arrow the moment Zenobia waltzed into his Wafer Shop. Yes, my darlings, a wafer shop! Their love story is as crispy as the wafers themselves. Zenobia apparently couldn’t resist the crunchy goodness—or was it the charming wafer seller?—and started visiting daily. Boman, with his legendary humor, remarked, "I mean, who needs so many wafers?"
As fate would have it, their counter chats turned into late-night phone calls, until Zenobia’s father put a temporary end to their romantic tête-à-têtes during her exams. But true love persevered, and on their first date, before the appetizers even arrived, Boman blurted, "I think we should get married!" Kids today might think he was a bit bonkers, but hey, when you know, you know!
Fast forward to today, they are proud parents to two sons, Danesh and Kayoze, proving that love, laughter, and a little bit of wafer magic can indeed last a lifetime.
Nisha’s Nutshell: Love in Bollywood may be as unpredictable as a masala plot twist, but Boman and Zenobia prove that sometimes, just sometimes, you find your forever in a wafer shop. So, moral of the story, folks: never underestimate the power of crispy snacks and quirky love declarations! 🍿❤️
