Have you heard? Still here

Irrfan Khan, Shoojit Sircar and Tigmanshu Dhulia

Three years after his death, Irrfan lives on in the memories of his directors and co-actors. Industry folk spoke about him in recently held interviews, recalling how he eased the gaps between offbeat and mainstream cinema. Shoojit Sircar said, “He is alive in everyday life. I miss purely talking to him, like sitting with him, and just talking.” Tigmanshu Dhulia said Irrfan’s name still pops up in his head when he is planning a venture. “If I have to do something ambitious, I would not be able to do it ever, because he is not with us here. He was one such actor for whom it was fun writing a character. As an artiste he would push me to grow more. My growth has slowed since he left us.”  Homi Adajania, the director of Angrezi Medium, the actor’s last film, said Irrfan taught him to cherish every moment. Tanuja Chandra, who directed him in Qarib Qarib Singlle, said he had an “attractive” personality.

Having found a friend and mentor in her mother Madhu Chopra, Priyanka Chopra Jonas evidently doesn’t need to look too far when it comes to raising an independent daughter. Speaking to an international publication, she, however, added that she would struggle to discipline her daughter Malti. “I don’t know how I’ll ever discipline her because I just don’t have it in me. I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything. I just want to see her happy. She’s a super smiley, happy baby, and that’s my goal — to see her joyous,” she said.
