The truth is that I didn't say anything, I needed some kind of outlet.

Mother used to encourage while sitting in the audience

One day when I was a child, I was on the stage and my mother was sitting in the audience and she was smiling at me from somewhere in the corner. Talking about his childhood, Irani said that I was a very sad and nervous child. I was born after my father's death, so I was surrounded by women and was extremely shy. I am still here. I make such big noises just to hide my nervousness, so I take it to cinema and stage. The actor further said that my mother understood that I like stage and cinema.

watched movies again and again

He encouraged me to watch films again and again, even though I had seen them before. I asked, 'Why mother', he said, 'So that you understand lyrics, drama and acting.' Irani further said that it is important to watch all types of films. Irani said that I got my first passport at the age of 35. I had never traveled before. Films made me travel the world, seeing different cities, cultures and food. I like telling stories. My mother would come home and ask me to repeat the whole story in front of the family.
