IRFAN KHAN- Gone too soon!
An actor par excellence, a prolific multifaceted actor, Irfan khan lost the battle to the emperor of all maladies after a valiant fight.
Quite unlike the quintessential hindi movie hero, the unconventional looking Irfan khan carved a niche for himself over the past 2 decades with diverse roles that displayed his formidable acting prowess.
He enthralled the discerning cinema lovers with finely nuanced performances in Paan singh tomar, Haider, Maqbool, Lunchbox etc.
He swayed the masses with a deadpan poker face, mouthing comic one liners in Hindi medium, Billu, Jazba, Talvar etc.
He was one of the rare breed of Indian actors who forayed successfully into the much coveted Hollywood arena with impressive roles in blockbusters like the Amazing Spider-Man, Jurassic park, Inferno , Life of Pi etc.
With his commmanding screen presence Irfan held his own amongst the A listed Hollywood actors.
He possesses an enviable repertoire of cinematic and theatre outings, and had a whole lot more to give to the world of cinema. His death leaves a deep vacuum and spells the infallibility and ephemerality of man infront of higher forces.
But real artists never go to grave. They live and breath through their work. And as I start to rewatch Piku for the nth time, the tall, dark guy with the wittiest repartees for the sour-faced Deepika and the constipated Mr bachchan, fills the room with his booming voice.
#RIP
