Shocked to know that Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan, now known as Irrfan Khan, is no more with us. It was his personal choice to add an extra 'r' in his name. Irrfan Khan, a name synonymous with struggle, persistence and consistency is a phenomenal talent in the field of arts. With no Godfather in Bollywood, he has managed to create a separate place for himself in Bollywood and in addition he made his name in British and American films too. Still he did not typecast him and here lies his versatility. His rejection to a big offer in the 'Interstellar' for 'Lunch Box' in 2013 shows his commitment towards work. Number of awards can never describe a versatile person like Irrfan Khan. Let me share an incidence which shows his recognition in global level. Julia Roberts once stopped outside the Kodak theatre where Oscars were being staged, just to compliment Irrfan Khan on his brilliant performance in the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire (2008)'. Salute Irrfan Khan. Rest in peace.
