One of the best actors in Hindi film was Irrfan Khan, who always left everyone in awe of his acting prowess. The outstanding actor passed away in April 2020 after a protracted two-year struggle with neuroendocrine cancer. But the actor’s absence from the industry is felt every single day. The actor’s journey is still remembered through his work by filmmakers, actors, and fans. Sutapa Sikdar, the actor’s wife, has indicated interest in penning a book on their journey together.

Sutapa Sikdar describes her journey with Irrfan Khan in her writing.

Sutapa Sikdar revealed on Saturday that she wants to write a book in which she shows readers the humorous side of the late actor. She was there at the occasion for the publication of Irrfan: A Life in Movies. A well-known film critic and novelist wrote the book, which follows Irrfan’s career from his time at the National School of Drama to his foray into television and the film industry. When discussing her personal intentions to write a book, Sutapa revealed: , “I want it to be a funny journey that I shared with him. People take him as a very serious and intimidating of person, but he was not so in real life. The book is not ready at all, but it will be in some time.”
