In case of Irrfan Khan, it is t just one thing but his entire journey. Look at journey he has h, starting from a small town, n entering in drama and making his way up slowly, steily. Even w I feel s, he was just getting started and he could have done so much. He has h a strong stride, w he could have chosen and w people knew that he could have done something special. w he could have done wonders.

Recently Ashutosh Gowariker pointed out his work in series Discovery of India. Even n if you see his performance, it is shocking that he h to wait so many years. He started with Haasil and Maqbool and by time he reached Paan Singh Tomar, he h to settle in this little common room. If an artist is truly good, he will touch your heart matter what. Even one film will draw an audience towards his craft. I find that truth in Irrfan Khan’s performance, in all his performances. film is flawed, matter what genre film it was.

I cant describe in words how huge of a loss it is, he could have done so much more. I feel s for Rishi Kapoor as well. I just pray that ir souls rest in peace. Irrfan Khan was very inspiring, he h a command over his craft which is something irreplaceable. So much work goes in being that natural and real."
