Boman Irani: The king of sarcasm and being effortlessly funny!

Over the years, Boman Irani has made a mark for himself with solid command in comedy films. So let’s have a look at some of his funniest scenes from movies that made us laugh till our stomachs hurt!

Boman Irani is one of the finest actors we have in the industry today. But not many people know that before he stepped into the world of Bollywood, he was actually a stand-up comedian. He was in fact one of the first comedians to do stand up comedy in English in India. From clubs, restaurants and other venues he has done shows for a plethora of people. So now we know his relationship with comedy runs quite deep and has made its way into his movies as well. 

The art of sarcasm is also something not many actors can finesse but Boman Irani can deliver one liners with a straight face and still make us laugh till we fall to the ground. Especially his character from 3 Idiots, who in the story was meant to be a strict professor but tickled everyone’s funny bone every single frame that he was in. Munnai Bhai M.B.B.S being another one of his classics. He might not be the highlight of the film but the film would definitely have a huge void without him.
