Today
(January
7,
2021),
on
Irrfan
Khan's
54th
birth
anniversary,
filmmaker
Shoojit
Sircar
reminisced
about
the
deceased
actor,
who
breathed
his
last
on
April
29,
2020,
and
said
that
he
was
the
biggest
loss
to
the
film
industry.
Shoojit
had
worked
with
Irrfan
in
Piku
in
2015.
The
film
also
stars
Deepika
Padukone
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
the
lead
role.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
Shoojit
spoke
about
Irrfan's
demise
and
said
that
the
Madaari
actor
has
left
a
vacuum.
"If
you
ask
me
what
the
biggest
loss
was
in
2020,
I
would
say
Irrfan
Khan
was
the
biggest
loss
to
the
film
industry.
I
wish
him
luck
and
joy
wherever
he
is
in
his
magical
world
that
he
would
always
speak
about.
I
guess
he
is
finally
in
his
magical
world."
Speaking
about
what
he
misses
the
most
about
Irrfan,
Sircar
said,
"What
stood
out
about
Irrfan
was
his
spirit
as
a
human
being.
His
simplicity
of
belief
in
humanity.
Those
things
I
remember
about
him.
Especially
during
his
later
days,
he
would
talk
more
about
spirituality.
We
would
discuss
it."
Sircar
further
added
that
before
Irrfan's
demise,
he
exchanged
many
books
with
him
when
the
late
actor
was
going
through
his
treatment
in
London.
For
the
unversed,
Irrfan
was
diagnosed
with
neuroendocrine
tumour
in
2018.
In
the
same
interview,
Shoojit
also
recalled
the
shooting
days
of
Piku
and
said,
"On
the
last
few
days
of
his
schedule
of
Piku,
Irrfan
would
often
say,
'Dada,
can't
we
go
on
shooting
like
this?
I
am
feeling
like
a
free
bird.
I
don't
want
this
moment
to
stop.
Please,
aap
kuch
bhi
kara
lo
mujhse.
I
can't
explain
this
feeling.
Can't
we
just
go
on
and
on?'
I
miss
my
Irrfan,
today
and
every
other
day."
On
that
note,
presenting
to
you
Irrfan's
dialogue
from
Piku
that
might
make
you
miss
the
actor
even
more.
"Death
Aur
Shit....
Ye
Do
Cheeze
Kisi
Ko
Bhi,
Kahin
Bhi,
Kabhi
Bhi
Aa
Sakti
Hai."
