When you look back at things, they become clearer than when they actually happened. Irrfan always said, "You have a tendency to support the underdog, and hence we are together."⁠⁠

But now when the fog has cleared, and I can see everything without conditioning, I know it was destiny. We were meant to be together.⁠

It was a hot summer afternoon in Delhi when I saw him for the first time.
A lanky, bespeckled young man in a black terry-cotton bellbottom and a light green printed shirt, with a leather sling bag from Rajasthan, walking towards the NSD lobby.⁠

He was definitely not my type.

#SushantSinghRajput's death is being hijacked by toxic elements with personal political agendas unrelated to him. Don't let them rob us of this chance to spotlight #mentalhealth. I am re-sharing here my recent interview with #Parvathy @parvatweets. #LetsTalkAboutDepression
It's sickening to see a tragedy being exploited by I-me-myself individuals, a political party & fakes who have grabbed the moment to target social groups they always target anyway, thus drowning out the cause they claim to espouse i.e. nepotism. #LetsTalkAboutDepression (Contd)
So I have decided to spend the next few days sharing articles & SM posts on #mentalhealth here & recommending works of art on the subject that have been a part of my learning process. Please return the favour and recommend shows etc to me 😊 #LetsTalkAboutDepression

Was born in Jagirdar family in Rajasthan where his father ran a tyre business. His full name was Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan. Both his parents were completely against him joining the movies. But he convinced them and joined NSD.

When he arrived in Mumbai, he took up a job of an AC mechanic to make ends meet. And even visited Rajesh Khanna's house to fix his AC.

Got his first debut in 1988 in Salam Bombay where he played a short role.

साधारण 15 वर्षांपुर्वी सकाळ वर्तमानपत्रात असताना इरफान खानची मुलाखत घेण्याची संधी मिळाली. एका नामांकित पबमध्ये भेट झाली आणि खूप वेळ गप्पा झाल्या. बाजुला वाजत असलेल्या मोठ्या संगीताच्या आवाजातही इरफानचा खणखणीत आवाज कानावर येत होता. १/७

इरफानच्या आयुष्यातील सर्वात महत्त्वाची गोष्ट कुठली होती हे जाणून घेण्यासाठी मी त्याला भेटले होते. मुलाखतीच्या दरम्यान इरफानने त्याच्या लहानपणीची एक गोष्ट सांगितली. इरफानच्या आजीच्या अंगणात एक चमेलीचा वेल होता. चमेलीच्या फुलांचा सुगंध हा त्यांच्या अंगणात दरवळत असायचा. २/७
इरफान त्यावेळी बोलताना मला म्हणाला, त्या चमेलीच्या फुलांनी मला वेड लागायचं. ती फुलं सकाळी कधी उमलतात हे पाहण्यासाठी मी लवकर उठायचो. तो सुगंध मनात साठवुन ठेवायचो आणि माझ्या दिवसाची सुरुवात व्हायची. त्या चमेलीच्या वेलासोबत माझं एक नातं तयार झालं होतं असं त्याने सांगितलं. ३/७

This is a letter written by Irrfan Khan to Shamsur Rahman Farooqi sahib expressing his deep admiration for his magnum opus ‘Kai Chand the Sar e Aasman’ کئ چاند تھے سر آسمان۔ Reveals his good taste, grace & deep appreciation for civilizational heritage.
But equally also his great humility. What a loss!

“Dear shamsur rahman sahab, aadab. Firstly forgive my writing skills I am very very limited in converting my thoughts into written language. But will try non the less.
I was fortunate to speak to you as I have been trying
for quite some time to get in touch with you at last I could.
For years I have a relationship with stories being in the field of cinema.
Stories for me are the biggest platform for sharing my self with the audience…stories which become a part of me…stays with me, speaks to me

ہزاروں سال نرگس اپنی بے نوری پہ روتی ہے
بڑی مشکل سے ہوتا ہے چمن ميں ديدہ ور پيدا
Hazaron Saal Nargis Apni Benoori Pe Roti Hai
Bari Mushkil Se Hota Hai Chaman Mein Didahwar Paida

For a thousand years the narcissus has been lamenting its blindness;
With great difficulty the one with true vision is born in the garden.
