The year 2020 would be remembered not just for the deadly virus but for the lose of a legend. It was a shock, literally a shock, when the notification from jio tv came in my phone... "Actor Irrfan khan passes away at the age of 54!". Never had an actor's demise felt so personal. For a moment I had hoped it was just a rumour... A fake news (so many are coming up these days) but...
Today April the 29th would be etched in every ones mind... who ever loved Indian cinema... Not just in india... World over!
I would like to pay my respects to the legend who had made us laugh, made us cry, made us go through emotional turmoils with his performances and movies. Truly a remarkable and an exceptional actor. Truly an original... A rarity! A big salute to him.
Salaam bombay was his debut film and, coincidently, the first hindi movie I ever watched.
Those were the time of video cassettes. I remember we had a video cassette for that movie and I had watched it a numerous times (i guess, that's because that was the only one we had!). I was a kid then. Probably I would watch it again.
And, his last movie...
I couldn't help not add this here
I would have loved to see Angrezi Medium in theatre but... The damn corona. Didn't miss a day to watch it (with my family) when it got released in Hotstar! Amma after hearing the sad news said that we will watch the movie again... As a tribute to one of our favourite actor!
We, and the cinema lovers world wide would always miss him. Condolences to the family and loved ones🙏. May God rest his soul🙏.
