Actor-model Mandana Karimi has slammed Boman Irani for his satirical video about US President Donald Trump wanting to meet 'Iranis' to broker peace talks. Mandana, who was born in Iran, has been vocal about the West Asia conflict and slammed Boman for not speaking up sooner.

In the comments, Mandana wrote, 'Boman Irani sir ... suddenly you have a lot to say about Iran. Interesting timing. For years, Iranians have been getting arrested, executed, silenced. Thousands killed. Families torn apart.' She also added, 'Sir, with all respect you and the Parsi community come from Iran. You carry that history. That fire. So where was this voice when Iranians were dying?'

Boman did not respond to her comment, but many others defended him, saying it was just satire. Mandana pointed out that she has lived under the current regime for 18 years and has 'been arrested' and 'violated'. 'I've lived through things you will never fully understand,' she wrote, slamming the naysayers.
