“Hello bhaiyon or beheno, main Irrfan hu.... me aaj aapke saath hoo bhi nahi bhi,“ said Irrfan in his last message his fans ahead of the release of his latest film Angrezi Medium.
His words turned out to be prophetic.
Irrfan aaj hamare saath hai bhi, nahi bhi
He went as he came into Bollywood, without any fanfare.
A quiet good-bye to the master who found eloquence in silence.
Irrfan was so soft spoken, even when he was shouting, his villains were more adorable than the others’ heroes.
Irrfan could switch into any character as easily as changing robes, or did he just make it look that easy?
He could be the rebel, the troubled lover, the obsessive lover, the adulterer…
In his hands ordinary roles became good, and the good ones extraordinary.
His eyes spoke much more than he did.
Intense.
That was Irrfan in one word.
In his cameo in the Oscar-winning Life of Pi, Irrfan says, "I suppose in the end, the whole of life
becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye."
Cancer is so cruel. It puts you on notice, and gives ample time, not just a moment, to say the final good-bye.
Alvida Irrfan.
His words turned out to be prophetic.
