Boman Irani was in New York to raise funds for the NGO, Akanksha Foundation. Two students were also flown in as representatives of the foundation's children. The actor took them to the Broadway show, The Lion King. He also gave them a tour of the Big Apple by visiting landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Times Square as well as savouring treats from the food trucks. Irani won hearts of the netizens with this sweet gesture by him!

The 59-year-old actor shared pictures of the tour on his social media handle. He wrote, "After fun and games in NYC we had some serious work to do.  Raise money for the Akanksha foundation. So a sparkling fireside chat with Nirjala and Prajwal and some light entertainment before the pledge, that raised almost a Million dollars!!!! Thank you people of New York!
