I am not a fan of mainstream Bollywood movies. I however am an addict for movies in any language with good story, good performance and good direction. I like theater like performances.
And Irrfan Khan is one such actor who forced me to watch bollywood movies. I won't use "was" for him. He will always stay alive through his work.
A legend who made his mark not only in bollywood movies but also left his footprint in hollywood. Not many have that chip on their shoulder. And he defies the laws of mainstream bollywood where looks, background matters more than talent. People like him give us grounds to believe in success based on true talent and hardwork. He is an inspiration to billions of people in India, who dream big dreams.
It's very difficult to be on screen in a way that people can connect with you. He portrayed normal person on screen with no heroic charisma, but that's what made him the real hero. That normalcy, simplicity is what billions of Indians were able to connect with. Those intense eyes, semi flirtatious smile and a tinge of humor in that deep voice - from Maqbool to Lunchbox to Piku - you will remain part of my watchlist till I am around.
Well, life ends someday for all of us, but it's how we are remembered summarizes how well we lived. And it's not the quantity, it's always the quality that matters.
I couldn't go to sleep without celebrating you - Irrfan Khan. And hence this sleepy post with elephant size errors. But tonight it's about emotions and not grammar.
So, here's to the man that theater will remember forever. RIP Irrfan Khan. I am sure you will. Love!
