Lets drop any information on her ancient parsi/zoroastrian/irani background since it's certainly not the point here. Please discuss before putting anything on the article related to that. Also can anyone confirm her year of birth with a link or reference? She definitely does not seem to be 33 years of age. --CaptainRon 13:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
I've been told by everyone with confidence that she is Parsi, and her name certainly is quite Persian. If I'm wrong, then of course delete this. Khirad 02:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
-Actually she is not a Parsi, but she is an Indian Zoroastrian, of IRANI background. Iranis are Indian Zoroastrians who, unlike the Parsis, emigrated from Persia/Iran within the last one or two centuries, as recently as the 20's. They are more closer to Iranian Zoroastrians culturally and linguistically and they actually speak the Iranian Zoroastrian dialect of Persian, Dari, different from Afghan Dari. Her name, Zorabian, is definetely the kind of name found among modern Iranian Zoroastrians, with and "ian" at the end of the last name. Many Iranis, however, use their ethnic term Irani as a surname unto itself. She should be classified as Irani. --User: Afghan Historian
--Now as the originator of this Article on Wikipedia, I would like to bring it to the notice of those claiming Perizaad to be Zoroastrian Irani, Perizaad herself in her interview made the statement, "I am just a decent Parsi girl, and would never do anything Vulgar on screen (and laughed)". So making it evident that she is a Parsi without doubt. --CaptainRon 19:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
--I would like to post a few links, whereby the misunderstandings shall be resolved. http://www.santabanta.com/cinema.asp?pid=4292 She makes a clear statement, "I'ma boringly nice, decent Parsi girl." Are you supposed to challenge that? http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2004/10/30/stories/2004103002250100.htm This link too states her a Parsi. http://www.shaadi.com/wedding/celebrities/celebtalk/030416-perizaad-zorabian.php In this link, a question is put up regarding the Parsi resolution. How can it be more evident that she shall be termed Parsi not Zoroastrian?--CaptainRon 22:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Parsis are Zoroastrians! But if she is a Parsi, then why is her name Zorabian? That sounds a lot more like an Irani name than a Parsi name.
--Fine, you may be correct, but is it right to tag her Zoroastrian when she herself doesn't use it? Talking of History, you could trace all zoroastrians to be the followers of the Vedic culture and hence deem them ancient hindus of 3000BC(I am not claiming so, just putting an probable example). So matter of factly, we must stick to the universally accepted facts. When she calls herself a Parsi on a TV Show (interview), who are we to debate her origins? And anyhow, how does her origins matter at all? Present is what matters. Beautiful girls are there everywhere, but only few are lucky enough to find space on Wikipedia.org ;-)--CaptainRon 19:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Parsis are followers of Zoroastrianism! Come on. India has the largest population of Zarathushtis in the world. And Vedic Hindus arent the ancestors of Zoroastrians. Zoroastrians and Hindus both stem from a common Aryan ancestor. Hindus are more a sister people to Zoroastrians than ancestors of them. Nevertheless Parsi implies Zoroastrian so its redundant saying Parsi Zoroastrian. -User: Afghan Historian
-- Just to add my two cents, using the term "Irani" would be confusing and misleading as that is also used to refer to any Iranian and requires a disambiguation explanation which further complicates the matter. I think most well-read, educated people would know and assume that Parsis are Zoroastrians (going back to the reason they migrated after the Arab conquest and all that). Since this is a reference guide, I suggest we write something that is in the simplest form and the least confusing manner. --Smalek 16:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
---Hey guys, whoever called her Irani....puhleez check the links given above or else talk to perizaad, I know her closely and so I dont think there's a debate required on the point that she's a Parsi or not, coz she is a Parsi.
-- What's wrong with this Nationalist Irani??? why the hell he keeps attaching the word "Irani" everywhere and puts Perizaad in the Irani category... Why don't you find some famous Irani people (if any) and put them in the concerned category? Perizaad is an Indian national, and sleeps, eats and breathes in India not IRAN! Such unusual nationalistic behaviour shall not be tolerated. -User: CaptainRon
- With respect to my recent change, I didn't realize that the issue "Parsi versus Irani" was already being "discussed" here, and as is evident from the comments here, warrants explanation:
- 1. Neither Parsi nor Irani is a nationalist label.
- 2. Both the Parsis and Iranis are Indian Zoroastrian communities.
- The difference lies in when they came to India; the Parsis being the older group and the Iranis being the 18th century and later group. The differences (originally for legal reasons, see Parsi for details) are not usually known by those outside the two communities, but because almost everyone knows what a Parsi is (with its inherent connotation of Zoroastrian), the Iranis often spare themselves a 30-minute discussion by simply identifying themselves as Parsis.

[edit] Born Zartushti, never converted
Yes, she was born a Zoroastrian and has never converted. We are taking your word for it whenb really, there is no definite proof supplied. Until that proof is supplied, one cannot help but look at all other indications on the web about her background where she has herself also admited to being a christian convert. Really the only person funding this cooalition to save Perizaad is her husbands deep pockets which one can only assume is writing a majority of the press. Look at her box-office receipts for the last few films and articles posted at http://rustomjeebuilders.blogspot.com for real documentation of her faith and career. She had one hit movie that made a blip overseas and that was many many years ago. Since then, her career has taken a decline and wouldn't favor any press if it weren'r for the chuncky payments made to reporters by Mr. Boman Rustom Irani. So please look at the pending litigations and box-office reports that state otherwise and please supple proof of your ststements, otherwise keep your heresay to yourself. She is irani convert to catholic as she stated on Ask.com. Please get your facts straight.
[edit] NPOV Tone
I don't know anything about her or her husband but what's included in this bio seems excessive and very unencyclopedaeic. - AKeen 20:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- 71.129.54.127 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) This user has been putting up wrong information about Boman Rustom Irani on Perizaads page. He has been putting up this false information for his personal agenda. Please block this ip address.
e.g 18:54, 24 July 2007 edit to Perizaad Zorabian in →Personal life - reality and 19:01, 24 July 2007 to →Career - reality
In all reality, there is documentation of the facts at http://rustomjeebuilders.blogspot.com. There are articles from many prominent newspapers and websited there so what you are basically saying is that the interviews that perizaad actually gave were false. You are also saying that her box-office receipts are false. Lets look at the best of last year and the year prior in Bollywood cinema. Her failms to show there. Those are facts. So instead of relatives fighting for her, read the articles and look at reports posted in the press. Maybe you will have a different perspective. I also don't understand why everyone is fighting so hard for Perizaad. Perhaps because this is the only press her husband cannot control. She is no Ashwariya or Rani, not even close. I suggest wikipedia completely remove her from their listings for she has had no influence in Hindi Cinema. Amitabh and Shah Rukh... now there is influence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.118.109 (talk) 04:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
