He would've done a Malayalam film if he was alive today: Irrfan Khan's wife

On his fourth death anniversary, late actor Irrfan Khan's wife fondly remembers his remarkable talent and captivating persona. Sutapa Sikdar, Irrfan Khan's wife, took to social media to share a post in which she envisioned a heartfelt conversation with him, had he still been with us today.

She dropped a picture of her with Irrfan Khan, and penned, “It’s been four years and three days since Irrfan left me. Four years? A feeling of guilt sweeps through my body. 4 years we have LIVED without him, added with sadness, fear, hopelessness, and severe helplessness. And then I thought, but still, I lived with him more. I knew him since 1984, so that makes it 36 years of knowing him more, and definitely till I die, I would have spent more time with him than without him. And then I thought, if he were with me physically in 2024, what would have been our conversation be like? Because that’s the most I miss.”

The conversation: 

"He would not have looked up immediately( never did while he was reading)

Me: He is sooo good.. I loved his performance.

He: Accha? Who?

Me: Arre yaar Diljit Dosaanj .. he is so not structured and all heart.. he makes me feel.:

He: (now looking at me) Accha .. you think he is that good !!

Me: Yes!!! You and he should work together it will be magic you should play a Sardar again after quissa and two brother kind of story...

He: hummm (his phone rings ) hey dinu (Dinesh Vijayan) yaar yeh sutapa Bol rahi hai Diljit dosanj bahut Accha hai ..:
