Talented actor Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020 after his battle with cancer. His son and actor Babil had paid a tribute to his father and now a day later his wife Sutapa remembered how life has been after his death.

She started the post on a sombre note but it gradually paved away for some positive and filmy conversations she would have had with her actor husband had he been alive.

Sutapa also wrote about how four years have been without his physical presence and that she had lived with him more than without him.

She made a long Facebook post which read: "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 more and definitely till I die I would have spent more time with him then without him," she wrote.

Sutapa then talked about the conversation she would have had with Irrfan about the recently released 'Chamkila'. She would have praised Diljit Dosanjh's performance and how Irrfan would have asked his filmmaker friend to make to think of making a movie with the two of them.

"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.
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 Dosanjh .. 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 ..
He : hummm (his phone rings ) hey dinu (Dinesh Vijayan) yaar yeh sutapa Bol rahi hai Diljit Dosanjh bahut Accha hai ..
Me : Accha nahi 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 sutupa kya likha hai irshaad ne ..( he loved Irshad kamil) ufff khatarnaak..
suna hai tumne vida karo .. what a song .. He and his manager manpreet are sitting and he is saying get me a Malayali film. I want to work with this director where Fahad Fasil is there. Yaar I am forgetting the name I am telling you if Bollywood doesn’t mend its way etc etc .. I will do a Malayali film! This is what mostly we will be talking in 2024.#irrfankhan#vidakaro#irshadkamil#fahadfazil#dilljitdosanjh," she ender her long note.

Irrfan Khan had played the role of a sardar in 'Qissa' which was released in 2014.

The film was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and it won the Netpac Award for World or International Asian Film.

Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after battling a neuroendocrine tumour, 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.
