SAEDNEWS: Popular Iranian actor and singer Mohammad Reza Golzar was hosted at the home of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s granddaughter, where he posed for rare photos alongside members of the late founder’s family.
According to Saed News, images have surfaced showing Iranian celebrity Mohammad Reza Golzar visiting the family of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late leader of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The photos, taken during a private visit several years ago, feature Golzar alongside the granddaughter of Khomeini and her children, offering a glimpse into a rare intersection of Iran’s entertainment and political heritage.
The gathering, which reportedly took place in 2018, has gained renewed attention on social media after the release of several archival images. In the photos, Golzar is seen standing warmly beside multiple generations of the Khomeini family, including great-grandchildren of the late Ayatollah.
While the visit appeared to be personal in nature and devoid of any overt political messaging, its resurfacing has prompted public interest due to Golzar’s high-profile status in Iranian popular culture and the enduring symbolic weight of the Khomeini lineage in the country’s political identity.
The actor, known for his roles in Iranian cinema and television as well as his musical career, has largely avoided overt political alignment. However, this moment — captured in a domestic setting with one of Iran’s most iconic revolutionary families — adds a layer of curiosity to his public persona.
The Khomeini family remains a significant yet complex symbol within Iranian society, often seen as a bridge between the ideals of the Islamic Republic’s founding era and the evolving landscape of modern Iran.
