Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has no godfather in the film industry, but she has found a father figure in Boman Irani.

She spoke about her closeness with Boman on the sets of NDTV India's "Issi Ka Naam Zindagi".

According to a source, she got teary-eyed during the shoot of one of the episodes of the show.

She revealed the ways in which Boman has always been a father figure off screen and supported her during thick and thin.

The episode featuring Dia will be aired Saturday.
