There are many untold stories of struggles in Bollywood that not many people are aware of. One of the actors whose struggles are not only inspiring but also intriguing is Boman Irani. Before becoming an actor, and that too in his late 40s, he was actually a photographer and this revelation was made by the actor himself in an interview recently.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, he stated how photography happened and what was the reason behind the same. He stated, "I never met my father, so a few cameras and negatives were the only physical memories of him. His was not the first camera I used, though, because they used to be bulky. I got myself a basic camera so that I could do sports photography."
