Shahbaz
Is
Unable
To
Believe
Irrfan
Is
No
More
Shahbaz
told
TOI
that
Irrfan's
death
news
is
heartbreaking
and
he
is
unable
to
believe
that
the
actor
is
no
more!
He
added
that
it's
a
sad
day
for
the
entire
industry.
Actor
Recalls
Time
Spent
With
Irrfan
On
Shows’
Sets
The
actor
recalled
the
time
spent
with
Irrfan
on
the
sets
of
the
shows-Chandrakanta
and
The
Great
Maratha,
and
revealed
that
the
duo
became
friends
when
they
did
The
Great
Maratha
way
back
in
1992-93.
Shahbaz
added
that
it
was
an
honour
to
work
with
him
and
he
is
an
immensely
gifted
actor.
Irrfan
Was
A
Dedicated
&
Effortless
Actor
The
Chandrakanta
actor
added,
"I
still
remember
after
pack-up
everyone
used
to
head
for
drinks
or
their
homes,
but
Irrfan
would
never
leave
the
sets
till
the
time
he
didn't
get
the
next
day's
script.
He
would
then
go
to
his
room
and
practice
in
front
of
the
mirror
and
then
we
had
to
really
pull
him
out
of
the
room
to
spend
some
time
with
us.
He
was
such
a
dedicated,
effortless
actor.
I
don't
know
how
he
managed
to
do
it.
He
was
brilliant
in
his
craft."
How
Shehbaz
Convinced
Irrfan
To
Do
Chandrakanta?
As
we
revealed
earlier,
it
was
Shahbaz
who
convinced
Irrfan
to
take
up
Chandrakanta.
Regarding
the
same,
Shahbaz
said,
"We
were
once
sitting
and
having
a
chat
and
I
was
coaxing
him
to
do
Chandrakanta.
I
was
convincing
him
and
he
kept
saying
that
he
didn't
want
to
do
TV
back
then,
but
I
kept
pushing.
I
tried
to
tell
him
that
TV
is
also
a
great
medium
and
has
good
roles.
He
was
not
convinced.
He
had
done
a
few
work
on
TV,
but
he
was
hesitant
to
do
Chandrakanta.
I
told
Irrfan
that
it
is
a
good
part
and
that
he
should
do
it.
He
did
and
how
brilliantly
he
played
the
roles."
Irrfan’s
Death
Is
An
Irreparable
Loss
Shahbaz
said
that
Irrfan
was
a
decent,
nice
and
soft-hearted
person.
He
also
added
that
the
Angrezi
Medium
actor
was
a
man
of
few
words,
with
no
attitude
problem.
He
said
that
although
he
didn't
get
a
chance
to
work
with
him
after
93-94,
he
always
loved
his
work
and
feels
that
no
one
will
be
able
to
fill
his
place.
He
further
added
that
Irrfan's
death
is
an
irreparable
loss.
