Kangana
Says
Irrfan
Loved
Poetry
And
Ghazals
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"He
was
a
very
colourful,
happy,
positive
person.
He
loved
poetry,
ghazals
and
was
an
extremely
liberal
person
at
heart.
He
wasn't
judgmental
at
all
and
was
an
absolute
delight
to
spend
time
with.
His
parties
would
be
different.
It
was
never
the
usual
Bollywood
techno
ones
with
loud
music.
He
would
call
these
budding
poets
and
writers
and
there
would
be
a
poetry
session.
Six-seven
of
us
would
often
chill
at
Sai
Kabir's
apartment.
He
was
such
a
charming
man,
his
sense
of
humour
was
terrific.
He
was
a
sucker
for
life
and
wanted
to
live
every
moment
of
his
life
to
the
fullest.
And
he
did."
The
Actress
Used
To
Tease
Irrfan
For
Turning
Down
Christopher
Nolan's
Film
Recalling
how
she
and
Sai
would
pull
Irrfan's
leg,
the
actress
revealed,
"When
we
used
to
meet,
we
would
rarely
speak
about
work
or
films.
He
never
took
his
talent,
stardom
and
his
craft
seriously.
While
he
was
doing
Ang
Lee's
film,
he
had
also
rejected
Christopher
Nolan's
film.
We
used
to
tease
him
about
saying
no
to
Nolan,
but
it
didn't
have
any
effect
on
him.
In
fact,
he
was
an
extremely
cool
person.
He
would
start
making
his
own
cigarette
-
he
never
bought
the
tobacco
ones
available
-
and
start
pretending
like
he
didn't
listen
to
what
we
were
saying.
He
was
so
genuine
that
he
didn't
pretend
to
penetrate
into
a
certain
circle.
He
didn't
have
time
for
any
industry
bullshit,
right
from
day
one.
Irrfan
sir
was
above
all
that."
Irrfan
Was
A
Great
Connoisseur
Of
Art
The
Manikarnika
star
said,"Irrfan
Khan
had
a
great
knack
towards
art
and
interiors."
In
fact,
he
even
helped
when
she
bought
her
own
house
in
Manali.
"I
loved
how
he
had
done
up
his
whole
house
and
his
bungalow
at
Madh
Island.
He
introduced
me
to
Shabnam,
his
interior
designer,
who
also
has
done
up
my
Manali
house.
He
had
a
very
sophisticated
taste
and
had
helped
me
out
with
it," said
the
Queen
actress.
Kangana
Wanted
Irrfan
To
Play
Her
Husband
In
Manikarnika:
The
Queen
Of
Jhansi
Speaking
about
it,
she
said,
"I
had
actually
wanted
Irrfan
Khan
to
play
Gangadhar
Rao
in
the
film.
I
remember
narrating
the
film
to
him
because
Gangadhar
Rao
was
an
artist
and
had
the
biggest
library
in
Asia.
He
always
wanted
to
do
a
romantic
film
with
me
where
we
would
play
lovers.
So
I
was
very
keen
to
have
Irrfan
sir
but
back
then,
it
couldn't
work
out.
I
wish
we
could
have
done
a
film
together."
Kangana
Condoles
Irrfan's
Untimely
Death
Earlier,
in
the
morning,
Kangana's
team
issued
an
official
statement
on
her
behalf
to
condole
Irrfan's
demise.
It
read,
"This
day
has
come
as
a
dark
unsettling
grim
emotion.
Irrfan
Khan
is
a
great
self
made
artist,
he
rose
from
doing
small
character
roles
in
TV
soaps
to
working
in
academy
award
winning
films
as
a
lead
artist,
My
heart
is
deeply
disturbed
at
this
loss
