An Indian Parsi by birth, Tanaaz was very young when she married Farid Currim.[citation needed] She was 20 when she gave birth to her first daughter Zianne.[3] After her divorce, she started acting in serials. In 2006, she met actor Bakhtiyaar Irani (brother of Delnaaz Irani), on the set of Fame Gurukul. The duo fell in love and wanted to get married, but it was not permitted by Bakhtiyaar's family because Tannaz is seven years older than Bakhtiyaar.

They named him Zeus after the Greek God. On 19 September 2011, Tannaz gave birth to a second girl, Zara Irani.[3] Zianne, her first daughter, stays with her ex-husband Farid Currim.
