He described the celebration one of the biggest of its kind in the Iranian community. “But above all,” Andy said, “it’s the biggest night for us.”

Andy and Shani have been dating for some year now. They have collaborated in various songs, like Andy’s “Foroudgah,” and their duet “Ole,” to name a few. They have also appeared alongside each other in a number of films, including “Irangeles,” “House of Sand and Fog,” and “The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam.”

Andy (Andranik Madadian) is of Armenian descent and was born in Tehran. Shani (Shani Rigsbee) was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas and moved to Los Angeles to advance her career in entertainment industry, where she met Andy.
