On the 4th death anniversary of the celebrated actor Irrfan Khan, his life and legacy are fondly remembered. Known for his exceptional acting skills and his ability to portray complex characters effortlessly, Irrfan left an indelible mark in the hearts of moviegoers around the world.

Radhika Madan, who co-starred with Irrfan Khan in 'Angrezi Medium,' remembers him with great admiration and respect. She recounts her experience working with him as a time filled with learning and inspiration. Radhika's words resonate with everyone who knew Irrfan or his work, "I was already informed that his energies are going to be low. We finished shooting in October 2019 and in April 2020, he passed away. He shot the last scene with me."

She further expressed gratitude towards Irrfan for treating her as an equal and not as a newcomer, giving her the confidence to believe in her talent and craft. "Full credit to Irrfan sir for treating me like an equal and not a newcomer, and giving me that respect as a co-star. That was the biggest motivation and it only gave me the confidence to believe in my gut and craft. He really inspired and encouraged me as a professional. I was always his student."

Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after battling a neuroendocrine tumor, leaving behind a rich tapestry of cinematic marvels. He was not just an actor; he was an artist whose work transcended international borders, from Bollywood to Hollywood, making a name for himself with his profound performances in films such as 'Slumdog Millionaire,' 'Life of Pi,' and 'The Namesake.'

In Bollywood, his roles in movies like 'Maqbool,' 'Paan Singh Tomar,' and 'Piku' showcased his versatility and ability to bring depth to every character he played. His last Bollywood movie, 'Angrezi Medium,' was released just a month before his untimely demise. The film was a sequel to the hit movie 'Hindi Medium,' and once again, Irrfan's performance was highly praised.

On this solemn occasion, we not only remember Irrfan Khan for the outstanding actor that he was but also for the humble and inspiring human being that he remains in the memories of those he touched.
