in
a
statement,
"I
dont
know
what
to
say...
my
heart
aches
when
I
write
this.
He
was
one
the
strongest
people
I
knew,
a
fighter.
And
so
are
Sutapa
ma'am,
Babil
and
Ayan."
She
further
continued,
"I
am
just
grateful
that
our
paths
crossed
in
this
lifetime.
He
is
and
will
always
be
an
inspiration
to
many.
A
legend.
The
man
who
changed
the
wave
of
the
indian
film
industry.May
his
soul
rest
in
peace."

by

revolves
around
a
father's
struggle
to
fulfill
his
daughter's
dream
of
studying
abroad.

Irrfan
Khan's
heartfelt
performance.
Unfortunately,
it
turned
out
to
be
the
actor's
last
movie.
