Early life
She was born to Gujarati film actress Padmarani and stage director Namdar Irani in Bombay, India.[1]
Career
Early career
Irani was an established actress in films and theatre in Gujarati, having acted in 18 Gujarati films, several television shows, and theatre performances with the Indian National Theatre.[2]
After she moved to Singapore, she appeared in the role of Daisy Matthews in the popular Singapore TV series Under One Roof televised in 1995.[3]
At Mediacorp, she was the executive producer for MediaCorp Studio's English Entertainment Productions Division. In 2007, she became the head of the Central Channel's Programming and Promotions, as well as their TV12 Creative Services Division.[4] In 2008, the Central Channel became defunct after the Kid's and Arts segments were merged to form Okto, and Vasantham Central became a full-fledged channel as MediaCorp Vasantham, occupying the original Central channel.[5][6]
HuM Theatre
In 2010, Irani founded HuM Theatre, a theatre company.[7] In 2020, the theatre company gave Zee TV broadcasting rights to four of its plays.[8]
In 2019, Irani produced a play, Being Mrs Gandhi, and acted as Kasturba Gandhi, the wife of Mahatma Gandhi, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth. The production came after Irani attended a talk by Gandhi's granddaughter, Ela Gandhi, about her grandmother in 2018.[9][10]
In 2021, Irani starred in a short film #MakeThatCall, about bridging an increasing physical gap between young people and aging parents.[11]
In 2023, Irani staged We Are Like This Only 3, with cast from HuM Theatre, with Irani calling it 'unintended trilogy'.[12][7] The first two plays focused on tensions between Singaporean Indians and expatriate Indians, while the third play focused on tensions between new Singaporean citizens from India and the Chinese majority.[12]
Personal life
She moved from Mumbai to Singapore[1] in 1991 when her husband, Subin Subaiah, was posted there for work. In 2004, the couple received their Singapore citizenship.[13]
