Director: Saeid Aboutaleb

Shame Irani 3 is a 2024 Iranian talk-show and reality series hosted by director Saeid Aboutaleb, in which four celebrated guests from Iranian arts, sports, and music take turns hosting intimate dinner evenings, competing to offer the warmest welcome and the most memorable night.

What is Shame Irani 3 about?

Each episode of this third season centers on a different celebrity host who opens their home to three fellow guests — artists, athletes, or musicians — for an evening of cooking, conversation, and candid moments. Over the course of the dinner, rivalries soften, old stories surface, and the competitive scoring system turns something as simple as a meal into a revealing portrait of Iranian public figures in their most unguarded state. The format keeps every gathering lighthearted, yet the conversations frequently drift into genuine reflection on careers, friendships, and life beyond the spotlight.

Cast & crew

Shame Irani 3 is overseen by director Saeid Aboutaleb, who has guided the format across multiple seasons and maintains its signature balance between structured competition and spontaneous conversation. The series draws its rotating cast from across Iranian cultural life — actors, musicians, and athletes who are household names for the Persian-speaking diaspora worldwide.

Context & significance

The Shame Irani format has run for years as one of the most beloved reality shows in Persian-language television, filling a gap that few programs manage: it lets viewers see familiar public figures behave like ordinary hosts, fretting over their cooking and laughing over old memories. For the diaspora, the appeal goes beyond entertainment — these dinners are a window into the social rituals, humor, and warmth of Iranian home culture that many viewers left behind. Season 3 continues that tradition with a fresh roster of celebrities and the same unscripted energy that made earlier seasons appointment viewing.
