Speaking to Film Companion in an interview, Babil said, “I was there in the hospital, two-three days before he died. He was losing consciousness and one of the last things he said…he just looked at me, smiled and said ‘I am going to die’ and I told him ‘No you are not.’ He then smiled again and went back to sleep.”
Irrfan Khan was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai, a few days before he died on April 29 last year.
Irrfan’s wife said one of his best qualities was he never lied, no matter what the situation was. “I feel the most precious quality about him, was that he never pretended. If he is angry with you, or he is in love with you. The main thing is when he is in love with you and says ‘I love you,’ he did not pretend. He did not say it, till he meant it.”
Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who directed Irrfan in Piku, was among the first ones to tweet about the actor’s death. “My dear friend Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you.. we shall meet again.. condolences to Sutapa and Babil.. you too fought, Sutapa you gave everything possible in this fight. Peace and Om Shanti.
