Sanjana Sanghi Instagram – I realised it then, that sharing brief moments with you in a film as special as #HindiMedium and a song as loved as #Hoor – at such a young age, will forever be one of the greatest gifts I could get as an actor.
I’m guilty of both naively & greedily dreaming, that I’d get many more opportunities to be around you, learn from you and work with you, at various points in the future.
You are, incontestably, God’s greatest gift to Indian cinema, to the craft of performing, and to multiple generations of artists, in my humble belief. You unabashedly spoke of your absolute disdain for measuring actors and the depth of their craft by the number of zeros in their box office collections, and a nuance in the language of film that you were perpetually in search of. That we only deserved to be called “artists” , if we understand the meaning of creating true art, that ought to be personal, to be interacting with life around and be unquantifiable. That everything else in the name of art, is a lie.
The pain of your departure, for us, aspiring young artists, and for cinema all over the world, is indescribable & may take excruciatingly long to heal.
Knowing you have been relieved of your pain, serves as solace.
Rest in peace, Legend. ♥️ #RIPIrrfanKhan | Posted on 29/Apr/2020 16:07:57
