Looking through all the social media posts that mourned Irrfan Khan’s demise, it is truly heart wrenching to see someone so good, gone too soon. Many people die on a daily basis, a lot of celebrities as well but like many people pointed out on social media that the loss of Irrfan Khan felt more personal. It was more like the loss of someone who wasn’t known on a personal level but left an impact of knowing him a lot especially through his movies.

Be it Rana in Piku or Champak in Angrezi Medium, Irrfan has pulled off the best characters in Indian cinemas. An actor par excellence equally loved by all of his fellow actors left the world in splits today with his demise. Every actor and non-actor has experienced the void of losing someone they probably would have seen in more movies to come.
It overwhelms me to see my social media feed filled with love and prayers for Irrfan Khan. It symbolises the life of a man, who did the ordinary and brought extraordinary talent to the theatres. Many actors were fortunate enough to act with him and many dreamt of one day acting with him, those dreams are now gone with him, forever.

Irrfan Khan is actually THE KHAN, loved by all and hated by none. He stayed rooted to his humbleness and never let fame get the better of him. All his dialogues have a meaning on how to live life and one can’t get enough of not reading those lines. Not just lines, the words of wisdom he shared in his interviews teaches us how to look at life and how to stay grounded even after reaching the greatest of achievements.

Irrfan, you live through your movies and characters. You taught the world to be a little more nice and gave it everything. Our heart aches to not see you anymore in the movies but we will remember you more for the wonderful human being you have been! May your soul rest in peace and our support goes to your family!
