Boman romances Farah in 'Shirin...' at wife's behest

Actor Boman Irani reveals that his wife Zenobia was excited to hear that Farah Khan will act opposite him in "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi" and urged him to say yes to the movie.

"I said it's (casting Farah) a great idea. I went home and told Zenobia (Boman's wife) and she said 'What a fantastic idea! Boman, if this is the casting, you must do this film just because of the casting'," the 52-year-old said here.

Talking about their chemistry in the film, Farah said: "I think we are comfortable with each other and we look good together."

She took a quick dig at Boman, saying: "At least, I look good and you because of me. I helped you to look good also you helped me act better and our comic timings are also good."

Directed by Bela Sehgal, "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi", a love story between two 40-plus individuals, hits theatres Friday.
