Under Boman’s video on Instagram, Mandana wrote, “Boman Irani sir ... suddenly you have a lot to say about Iran.Interesting timing. For years, Iranians have been getting arrested, executed, 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 humor about gas, about Trump, about "come to my house."”

She also added, “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.”

While Boman did not respond to her comment, many others left her comments like, “darling it was just satire,” and “Crazy how people who haven’t lived in Iran for years suddenly become experts on ‘regime change’ conveniently aligning with US/Israel narratives too.” Explaining why she slammed him, she wrote, “And when someone ignores mass deaths, executions, and oppression but shows up for gas prices? That’s hypocrisy. Simple. But sure… now we care, right? Javid Shah. Payandeh Iran. (Long live the King. Long live Iran).”

Mandana also pointed out that she was born in Iran and lived under the current regime for 18 years, stating that she has ‘been arrested’ and ‘violated’. “I’ve lived through things you will never fully understand,” she wrote, slamming the naysayers, pointing out how her family still lives there.

What did Boman Irani say?

Boman took a hilarious dig at Trump in an Instagram video, where he said, “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 joked about feeding the US president dhansak, custard and other Parsi food at his Dadar Parsi Colony home if he flew down from Washington and brought along a ‘big cylinder’ amid the looming LPG crisis. Several actors commented under the video about how hilarious the video was.
