The Shahs LOVE to feast. Ever eaten Persian? It’s bloody delicious. Try it.

With their off-the-wall ways, and unconventional ideas, these kids bring new meaning to the word 'wacky'.

MJ’s mum is tough-talking, overbearing and a demon ping pong player.

24

X is for… X-Rated

When it comes to risqué, the Shahs don't shy away. These Persians aren't prudish in the slightest.
