two sons named Babil Khan and Ayan Khan. Some of the best hits of Irrfan Khan are The Namesake, Paan Singh Tomar, Haider, Maqbool, Piku, and The Lunchbox.
Sutapa recalled her past memories with Irrfan Khan and shared how he mispronounced her name during their earlier days in NSD. She wrote, “I remember sitting outside NSD late evening…beautiful girls from Kathak Kendra floating out ..they were all very well dressed up unlike us… we were always in our blue trackpant and sky blue t-shirt… both boys and girls wore the same… and you mispronounced my name and I tried to correct and rubbed it in as usual my permanent thing that north Indians are so stupid and they only can pronounce Sunny, Vicky, Rahul type names and proceed to Kake ki dukaan in Gol Chakkar to have ek bata do chai… it’s been a long journey of correcting each other spanning a life time. Fighting, arguing, laughing, evolving, together. You were the loner in a crowd. And now a whole crowd has followed you up there… by the way OM from the tea stall in the nukkad went some years back. Has he made a chai ka stall up there? Are you having ek bata do chai there? And are drinking water from the running streams?”.
Sutapa Sikdar concluded her post with a good bye. She wrote, “All of you stay in peace, remember us that we loved you, all of you. And remember all of you is missed by some one or the other…all your families grieve…may you all rest in peace! I hope there is enough space I hope some of you will forgive us for not been able to give a respectable cremation. irrfan#NSD#nationbleeding#wearesorry#restinpeace.”
