Sutapa Sikdar recalls final days of Irrfan Khan
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,April 29 2021]
Its been one year since we lost an amazing actor and human being, Irrfan Khan. He lost his live to neuroendocrine tumor after battling it for around two and a half years. His wife Sutapa Sikdar recently remembered and talked about the final moments she got to spend with her husband.
She said, He was very curious about death since the day we met. He comes from a Muslim family, I come from a Hindu background but I never had a natal chart. It’s all Irrfan; he made my kundali. His thing for astrology was not to know what will happen to his career but he was curious to know what will happen in the next life. He was immensely curious about it. He messaged Anup in London if he was drawing death towards him. Death had became like his playmate.
She further shared that even while facing death and being in immense pain, he showed none of it to his family. He was constantly trying to put them to ease. Sutapa shared, He is telling me – ‘nahi theek hai.’ Without any tantrum or anger. His face didn’t reveal any displeasure. I so clearly remember, sitting on the edge of the bed, he had become very weak. I made him wear his trousers, combed his hair. He sat, he held my hand and got up. We hugged each other. There was not even a second of a finality in it. No intuition of him was saying that I will not come back.
