Jahanbani was born on 27 February 1941 and was the youngest son of Iranian general Amanullah Jahanbani, great-grandson of Fath Ali Shah.[1] His mother, Helen Kasminsky, was from the Russian aristocracy in Petrograd.[1] His grandfather served as governor of Azerbaijan.[1] He was the younger brother of Nader Jahanbani who was executed in February 1979 after the Iranian revolution.[1][2]
Jahanbani and Shahnaz Pahlavi, the eldest daughter of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, became close friends in Switzerland where the former was studying arts.[3] They married at the Iranian Embassy in Paris in February 1971.[1][4] In a publication of the Islamic Republic of Iran it is argued that the marriage was not supported by Shahnaz Pahlavi's father, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.[5]
They had two children; a son, Keykhosrow, (born 20 November 1971) and a daughter, Fawzia, (born 1973).[3][4]
Jahanbani died on 16 April 2014 after combating cancer for several years.[6]
