Sutapa shares imaginary conversation with Irrfan Khan
In a heartfelt post, Irrfan Khan's wife Sutapa Sikdar expressed, "It’s 4 years three days since Irrfan left me. Four years? A feeling of guilt sweeps through my body. 4 years we have LIVED without him, added with sadness, fear, hopelessness and severe helplessness. And then I thought, but still I lived with him more. I knew him since 1984, so that makes it 36 years of knowing him. And then I thought if he was with me physically in 2024 what would have been our conversation like? Because that’s the most I miss."
The post further read, "He would be coming home mostly in 2024 straight from the shoot and would be petting our cat and reading.
Me : you have to see chamkila
He would not have looked up immediately(never did while he was reading)
Me : he is sooo good.. I loved his performance.
He : Accha? Who?
Me : Arre yaar Diljit Dosaanj .. he is so not structured and all heart.. he makes me feel.:
He ( now looking at me) Accha .. you think he is that good !!
Me yes!!! You and he should work together it will be magic you should play a Sardar again after quissa and two brother kind of story."
She continued, "He : hummm (his phone rings ) hey dinu (Dinesh Vijayan) yaar yeh sutapa Bol rahi hai Diljit dosanj bahut Accha hai ..:
Me Accha nehi bahut Accha ..
He. Haan yaar let’s do something .. let’s do something on punjabi sufi poets.. main dekhta hoon Aaj chamkila OR
He would be listening on his head phone as he enters .. Arre yaar sutup kya likha hai irshaad ne ..( he loved Irshad kamil) ufff khatarnaak.."
In her detailed post, Sutapa also expressed how Irrfan would have eagerly desired to collaborate with the Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil.
The post captured the attention of Diljit Dosanjh, who responded with "AUM." In response, Sikdar replied, "@ @diljitdosanjh bahut Dino baad Muzhe kisi ne apni acting se dil ko chua hai blessings."
