Boman rues playing father to young actresses

Boman Irani's friends may be jealous of him as he gets to work with young actresses, but the actor feels sad for himself as he just gets to play their father on screen.

"They (friends) are jealous of me because I get to work with the most beautiful women in the country. They ask me what's Kareena Kapoor like, what's Deepika Padukone like and I feel very happy. But inside, I also feel very sad because I only play their father," the 53-year-old said here Sunday at St. Mary's School, where he studied. He was there to attend a function.

His two sons also studied in the same school.

"Both my sons also studied in this school and it was an amazing feeling to be a parent in the school where we used to be so naughty... It's quite a wonderful feeling to be back," said Boman, recently seen in legal satire "JOLLY L.L.B.".

He will soon start shooting for Farah Khan's "Happy New Year".
