Vishal Bhardwaj on how deeply he misses Irrfan KhanÂ
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,January 12 2023]
Vishal Bhardwaj and Irrfan Khan made one of the most amazing actor-filmmaker combo in Bollywood. They collaborated on multiple critically acclaimed films including 'Maqbool' and 'Haider' both of which were adaptations of Shakespeare's plays. During a recent promotional interview for his son Aasmaan's directorial debut 'Kuttey', Vishal was asked about his equation with Irrfan.
The filmmaker responded by saying that everytime he watches a good piece of cinema, it reminds him of Irrfan. He told Pinkvilla, You miss Irrfan in every film. Every film I see, I make, when I see good cinema I miss Irrfan. That is the biggest loss, personal loss to me, and I think for the whole industry.
Vishal further added, I feared that he would be gone much before his time but didnât expect that it will be so devastating and ravaging to me personally. It feels as if I am torn into two parts. A part of me has died with him.â
For the unversed, Irrfan passed away in 2020 after a long and enduring battle with cancer and Vishal was one of the few people who attended the funeral amidst COVID 19 lockdown.
