Tragic to hear about his demise after a life well-lived. His mother too passed away on Saturday but he couldn't attend her funeral bcoz of the lockdown.#IrrfanKhan
Another one quoted from Irrfan’s film Namesake and wrote, “You are still young, free.. Do yourself a favour. Before it’s too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late.” Advise to Ashoke in Namesake. #IrrfanKhan.”
