MUMBAI: When Boman Irani hit the Cannes red carpet, Reddit had just one thing to say: Modern Family, but make it desi. With his sharp suit, composed aura, and that unmistakable “I-own-17-hotels-and-quietly-judge-your-wine-order” energy, users crowned him India’s Jay Pritchett — and honestly, we can’t unsee it either.
The Reddit thread went viral faster than a Modern Family rerun on a Sunday afternoon. One user dubbed him the “perfect casting” for a Hindi remake, while another hilariously imagined him scolding Manny for yet another failed poetry reading.
“Jay Pritchett coded is so real,” one comment read — and from that moment on, the internet had a new crossover fantasy. At a festival packed with fashion peacocks and paparazzi flair, Boman wasn’t just seen — he set the tone. Stoic. Stylish. Slightly over the circus. Just like Jay.
Legacy, class, and a side of sass? Jay Pritchett would definitely tip his glass.
