Actor
Irrfan Khan breathed his last today (April 29) at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai. He was suffering from colon infection. The sad demise of the versatile actor has left everyone shattered, scrolling down the memories associated with the movies starring him.
It took actor
Shoumo Banerjee
back to his NCPA (National Centre for the Performing Arts) days. The actor said, “The sad news shook me to the core. I still remember the day when I waited for hours just to see him from a distance. It was 2005-06, I went to NCPA to watch a theatre and knew that my favourite actor was also present. I patiently waited near the staircase to catch his glimpse.”
Shoumo took a pause, then added, “Finally my wait was worth I saw Irrfan Khan coming down. I still remember he was wearing a summer coat and a white trouser. He was busy while speaking with director
Vishal Bhardwaj. He took some moment before stepping inside his car. As a fan boy, I looked at his car till it faded away. If I close my eyes, I still see his car fading away.”
Shoumo paused for a while. The actor shared that watching Irrfan's films was a master class for him.
“More than entertainment, it was a master class for me. He lived every character he has ever played. Irrfan Khan never needed anything else to justify a character. After all, he played the characters by his heart,” said the actor.
Just like Shoumo, the news has left many other actors shattered.
Actor
Debopriyo Mukherjee, who is busy doing TV and film projects, said, “The news is really heart breaking. I have hardly seen any actor like him. I recently watched Angrezi Medium, which made me hungry once again and I once again watched
Maqbool
and Lunch Box. It is a huge loss. I still can’t believe the news. I know, he would have gifted more masterpieces in the future.”
Speaking about the actor Debopriyo went really emotional. “Our loss is nothing compared to his family. But as a cinema lover, I can’t explain, how much we are going to miss him,” he said.
