Exclusive! Chandan Roy Sanyal on visiting Irrfan Khan’s tomb: It has some magical power, a vibration of its own! – Times of India ►
Chandan Roy Sanyal’s post soon went viral and the ‘Kaminey’ actor is happy to have brought some calm on social media. He shared, “People were touched by the gesture but I did not do it for social media. My post made fans emotional. At a time when everyone is fighting on social media, here’s Irrfan Khan, bringing calm. Irrfan Khan’s journey has been inspirational, he kept rising in his career and why? Because the audience loved him. The audience is not going to watch his film because he happens to be an outsider. So I don’t understand this debate.”
Speaking about his memories of the late actor, Chandan added, “Just like a common man, I am also a big fan of late Mr Irrfan Khan. I admired his films and happened to know him as we had worked together. We didn’t have many scenes but had forged a good relationship. It was through Rishi Kapoor that I met Irrfan Khan, while we were shooting for ‘D Day’. Every day in the evening after shoot, I would sit with them and we would chat. I remember Rishi Kapoor had said at that time, “You’ll are very exciting actors, I enjoy working with actors like you’ll”. We lost Irrfan Khan on April 29 and the next day Rishiji passed away, I was devastated.”
