Actor Boman Irani is a first middle-aged Parsi salesman at a lingerie shop!



Boman Irani had a successful outing in "Ferrari Ki Sawaari" and is now gearing up to play a romantic lover boy role for the first time in his career in his forthcoming movie "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi", The movie is all set to release on August 24.. The rom-com is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's sister Bela Sehgal and also stars choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan.

Boman Irani will be seen in the role of a middle-aged Parsi salesman at a lingerie shop, who is unable to find an appropriate bride. In order to get a feel of his character Boman Irani visited several lingerie stores. He prepared strenuously for his role as an underwear salesman in forthcoming movie "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi." Boman, during his visits observed how people behind the counter behave and treat their customers.

Speaking about his experience, Boman tells, "There is no special manner to conduct oneself when you're selling undergarments. Their behaviour was very matter- of-factly and they treat the undergarments like any other product. Contrary to what the misconception is, the hush- hush factor isn't there at all! "But yes, I also noticed the way in which they were folding the items and putting them back into boxes and many such aspects of the service," Before becoming a star, the 52-year-old actor used to be a retailer himself and so the experience came in handy.

Boman went on to add, "I used to sell wafers at Grant Road! Thanks to those days, I've got a great deal of experience in retailing. So I know how the business and attitude works. The routine of greeting customers, introducing them to your products and ultimately selling!"
