There’s a new television programme that everyone’s started talking about… television screens across India have come alive with a vibrant new reality show called Sabse Bada Kalakar. This delightful programme showcases some amazingly talented children who aspire to emerge as tomorrow’s stars with their acting and dancing skills.
Boman Irani is one of the judges on this show, alongside Raveena Tandon and Arshad Warsi. Boman is a great choice for such a concept because he’s really good with children. Having become a grandfather recently has once again reconnected him with kids – and it shows in his playful interactions with the little artistes who appear on the programme. These days, Boman often talks fondly about all the time he spends with his grandson – Ziaan – and jokes about having to run around to satisfy all the demands made by the little one. Boman says he has become Ziaan’s spot boy!
Kids aside, Boman Irani is an excellent mentor for talent – both new and old. He came up the hard way… worked really hard to emerge as a specialist character actor… and he deserves every ounce of success that Life has bestowed on him.
Boman’s interaction with child artistes is vibrant and edgy even in his movies, and very often this makes for great comic timing – which is what great comedy is all about. Just check out this delightful scene from Bhootnath 2 and you’ll know what we mean.
