Boman Irani takes hilarious dig at Donald Trump who wants to meet Iranians amid West Asia conflict: ‘Bring gas cylinder’
Amid the West Asia conflict, Boman Irani couldn't help but take a dig at US President Donald Trump who wanted to talk to the Iranians.
The West Asia conflict between US-Israel and Iran has resulted in ripples across other regions like the UAE and India despite no direct involvement. Amid reports that Donald Trump claims to be holding ‘peace talks’ with the Iranians, Boman Irani took a hilarious dig at the US President. He jokingly agreed to broker peace with the help of Smriti Irani and Aruna Irani.
The ‘Iranis’ ot Bollywood to broker peace
Boman posted a video on his Instagram, which he captioned, “The Iranis are ready for peace talks with Mr. Donald Trump.” In the video, he says, “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. Talks are happening with Smriti ji, Aruna Irani ji, and me, Boman Irani. So, I am ready. I am ready to do anything for peace.”
He also added, “I have only one problem, I won’t go to Washington. I think it would be best if Trump sahab and his delegation come to Dadar Parsi Colony. We'll feed them dhansak, custard and other food. But if they bring along a big gas cylinder, I think it’ll make life very smooth for all of us.” Boman ended the video with a sarcastic smile and a thumbs-up.
