Boman Irani's hidden talent

After starting out as a photographer, Boman Irani turned to acting in Bollywood, and has delivered some memorable performances in movies. But not many know that he is also a motivational speaker.

The 56-year-old says his talks are not 'preachy', and have 'more stories of downs than ups'. Boman also doesn't like using the word 'motivational'. 'Calling something motivational depends on a person and what he/she wants to take away from the entire talk.I don't give these talks with the intention to motivate anyone,' he says. Ask him if it is a financially viable profession as well, and he says, 'Your time is surely valued by people, but sometimes, I don't even charge (for these talks). Having said that, there is nothing wrong in taking money for the time you are devoting to something. I am a one-man industry, and I am going to make use of my factory (laughs),' he says.
