Sutapa Sikdar remembers Irrfan Khan; Says, 'never seen a man working so hard'

Late actor Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar has always been vocal about his husband’s hard work in films. Sutapa is among many other celebrities who have spoken about Irrfan in an episode of the docu-series Tarader Shesh Tarpon. In the episode, she spoke about how her son Babil is struggling to fit into the shoes of his father with his craft.

Sutapa spoke about the Angrezi Medium actor’s effortless acting and how she counsels her son who is soon to make his acting debut. While sharing her thoughts, Sutapa Sikdar says in the episode, "The way he used to talk to people, I'm sure everyone could understand the kind of honesty he had in him, which reached the other person through his words. People always used to say Irrfan never really acted, I've heard this innumerable times from innumerable people. I always wondered if so much hard work goes into 'not acting', how much effort would be going into 'acting'.”
