Actor-director Boman Irani recently shared his hilarious reaction to Donald Trump`s comment amid the ongoing war in West Asia. The actor shared a video of himself talking to the camera, in which he expressed his willingness to talk to the US President Donald Trump with regard to solving the conflict, citing his Iranian roots.
Boman Irani takes a jibe at Donald Trump`s comment
Boman Irani took to social media to share the video, saying, “So, as you may know, it’s going viral that Mr Donald Trump wants to speak to the Iranis, and three people have been beckoned to speak, Smriti Irani, Aruna Irani, and me”.
He further added, “So, I am ready. I am ready. We can do anything for peace. My only problem is that I won’t go to Washington. Let their delegation come here to the Dadar Parsi Colony. We will treat them with whatever they like, we’ll feed them dhansak and custard. We will bring a gas cylinder. I think it will make life very, very smooth for all of us”.
Boman`s reaction came after Iran firmly denied reports of ongoing negotiations with the United States. Spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ebrahim Zolfaqari, reportedly took a jab at Trump, saying, “Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you negotiating with yourself?” He further mocked the situation, adding, “Don’t call your failure an agreement.”
His remarks follow Donald Trump`s continued insistence that talks are underway. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the US is engaging with the “right people” in Iran and that Tehran wants a deal “so badly,” despite repeated denials.
Mandana Karimi slams Boman Irani
While many laughed at his reaction, including celebrities, the video did not go well with Iran-based actress Mandana Karimi. Taking to the comments section, she wrote, “Boman Irani sir… suddenly you have a lot to say about Iran.Interesting timing. For years, Iranians have been getting arrested, executed, and silenced. Thousands killed. Families torn apart. And people like me we’ve lived it. We’ve spoken about it. But now… there’s a video. Now there’s concern. Now there’s humour about gas, about Trump, about `come to my house.` Sir, with all respect you and the Parsi community come from Iran. You carry that history. That fire. So where was this voice when Iranians were dying? And now suddenly because it affects gas, politics, global talks there’s commentary? I mean… slow clap, really. From silence to satire — that was fast. Anyway… just an observation.”(sic)
