Boman Irani at Cannes = Bollywood’s Jay Pritchett, and Reddit is living for it.

Boman Irani at Cannes, so Jay Pritchett coded

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.
