Boman Irani Proposed To His Wife On Their First Date And It’s 35 Years Later And Their Love Is Still Going Strong. Where Can I Find That?

Most of us grow up with the idea that one day we will just chance upon the love of our lives and that will be it. There will be fireworks, violins, that nerve-tingling sensation and that uber-romantic kiss in the rain kinda moment. However, after having my heart broken multiple times, I have understood that millennial dating has become super complex. Most of the times, it starts with swiping right and only if you’re lucky (and I mean five-in-a-million kind of lucky) does it end on a mandap. Sometimes I wish I was born in an earlier era, maybe then I would’ve had a real love story. Because let’s face it, no good love story will every start with, “so we swiped right on Tinder”.

The entire format of dating has changed, people are now careful and conscious. Every 20-something person has their own baggage to deal with and that makes it so much harder to find a life partner. And it sucks because unlike relationships from the ’60s (that are still stronger than anything we have seen), love just isn’t enough anymore. That is the thought I had while I was reading about Boman Irani and his wife Zenobia Irani’s love story on Humans of Bombay.

Their love story is so beautiful, it’s like straight out of an old movie. It’s the kind of love story you can tell your kids and your grandkids, and they will never get tired of listening to it. In the post, Boman says that it was love at first sight when Zenobia walked into his wafer shop. He shared how after the first time she came into the shop, she then came every day after that and that’s when he knew she liked him too.

Boman said, “Soon, she began visiting every day & I knew she liked me too–I mean, who needs so many wafers? Across-the-counter chats turned into calls–we’d talk about everything.”

Eventually, Zenobia’s father asked him to stop calling for a month so she could focus on her BSC exams. They went on their first date after her exams. Now, we all know how tense first dates can be but what happened on their first date is so amusing yet romantic.

He told HOB, “Finally, after her exams, we went on our first date. But before we even got the menus, I blurted, ‘I think we should get married!’ Kids these days will think I was bonkers, but I didn’t need to ‘figure it out’. I knew she was the one. You know what she said next? ‘Ya, of course. Oh, wait! I forgot my umbrella.’ I’d just proposed & that’s what she said! She thought it was raining when it was just the sound of a Sizzler plate! That night, I knew 2 things: I was going to marry her & I wouldn’t need a TV–we had all the entertainment we needed. Guess I was right–we still joke about that night!”

This is what I am talking about, if I asked someone to marry me on the first date, they would probably get all flustered, freak out and leave mid-date. Don’t you agree with me? Hell, if I tell my (hypothetical) boyfriend of six months that I want to get married even he will go all Chandler Bing on me. But it was so much simpler in Boman’s time, I really wish it was just so easy now as well. Also, I absolutely loved her reply for it was so cute.

Boman and Zenobia got married in 1985 and have two sons Danesh and Kayoze. It was only after their wedding that Zenobia pushed Boman to follow his dreams and become the actor he is today. She took over the wafer shop and took care of their sons so that he could follow his dreams. And if that isn’t out of a real life fairy tale, we don’t know what would be.

Boman describes her in the most heartwarming way possible and calls her his moral compass. He said, “It’s been 35 years of laughing together & that’s the key–seeing her smile is everything… even if it’s because she knows I’ve got my next joke lined up for her!”. I would call them couple goals, but that would be an understatement. I just want to know one thing, where can I find a relationship so strong and a love so pure. Does it even exist nowadays?
