Nandita Das Instagram – I am still unable to fathom, let alone express the loss I feel at the sudden demise of Irrfan and Rishiji. Just too shocking and sad. Having worked with both I can vouch that they were not only brilliant actors but also amazing human beings.Ā I worked with Irrfan in Supari many years ago and I still remember the conversations we had. His brilliance has left a deep impact on me. And Rishiji’s generosity, humour and warmth are still so fresh in my mind. I am sharing a short excerpt about him that I wrote in my book, Manto and I :

I have enjoyed many performances by Rishi Kapoor over the years, but while casting, there was no character that I instinctively felt would befit him. I reached out to him at the behest of one of the producers, asthey felt his presence would attract more audiences. So, they fixed a meeting with Rishiji. It was strange to meet him without knowing which role I was goingto request him to do. The minute I entered, he warned me, ā€œI donā€™t do guest appearances anymore.ā€ But I only had a guest appearance to offer. I candidly confessed that my reason for wanting his support was that his talent andpopularity would help the film reach a wider audience. As I began reading outpart after part, I was hoping to find the one that would be the right fit. He must have been shocked by my audacity! To my surprise, he generously agreed to do the ā€˜guest appearanceā€™ of a sleazy producer. He had seen many of them in his earlier days and was happy to recreate the character with me. So, there he was on the sets of Manto. A seasoned actor, he gave his all, even for the six-hourshoot. I hope to do more justice to his talent and stature in a future film.’ When I wrote that, I didn’t imagineĀ that there would never be another film with him.Ā I will treasure both their messages, and of course their memories.

TheyĀ will be missed sorely.
