Irrfan Khan's 'Banegi Apni Baat' co-star Manav Kaul recalls his last meeting with him

On Wednesday, August 19, Bollywood actor-director Manav Kaul penned a heartfelt note for late actor Irrfan Khan while sharing a picture from the latter's resting place in the cemetery. In a brief Hindi caption, Manav wrote, "I came to Mumbai with Irfan brother’s number. Because of him, I got my first job in Mumbai in Banegi Apni Baat". He further added, "All my scenes were with him. Every time when the scene was over, it seemed that I have done a good job, but when I see the scene, I couldn’t look away from Irrfan Bhai’s face. I don’t know what he used to do, I just knew that his acting was different from the beginning." 

In the caption, Manav recalled his last meet with Irrfan Khan and added, "I was smoking cigarettes at the backside away from the glare of the show, then he also came to smoke. Sharing cigarettes, I wanted to tell him a lot but ended up saying that ‘Irrfan bhai you are looking very beautiful'." Scroll down to take a look at his tribute post for Irrfan Khan.
