Jahanbani had two children from two wives, a son, Anushiravan, and a daughter, Golnar. His son was from his first wife, Azar Etessam, and his daughter from his second wife, Farah Zangeneh. Zangeneh was the daughter of Colonel Yadolah Azam Zangeneh. Both children live in the United States. Through his son Jahanbani had a grandson also named Nader.When the Shah declared martial law in response to mounting protests in 1978, and put military officers in charge, Jahanbani was not one of the military commanders, since he had very little experience with internal security affairs.
