Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, known for acclaimed films such as Vicky Donor, Madras Cafe, Piku, and October, paid tribute to the late actor Irrfan Khan on his death anniversary with a heartfelt post.

On Tuesday, Shoojit shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from Piku on Instagram, featuring candid moments with Irrfan and Deepika Padukone. Alongside the pictures, he penned an emotional note addressed to his friend.

He wrote, “Dear Irfaan, Friend, wherever you are, I know you’re doing well and have probably made many new friends there. I’m sure people have fallen in love with your charm, as we all have. Here, I’m doing fine. But there’s one thing you might not be aware of Irfaan - just how much you’re loved and missed here. You’d be surprised:) I miss our jhal muri sessions and the laughter we shared.”

Shoojit reminisced about the actor’s philosophical musings and conversations about life, calling those moments unforgettable.

“Remember our long conversations about spiritualism and science when you were in London? Those talks were incredibly deep. I’ve got the books you recommended, and I often think about our discussions on life and death. Your smile and those mystical eyes of yours are etched in my memory. It’s not easy living every day without you; there’s a huge vacuum. Irfaan, I wanted to let you know that Babil and Ayan are doing well,” he continued.

Speaking warmly of Irrfan’s son, actor Babil Khan, Shoojit shared the strong bond he now shares with him.

“Babil and I play football together, and I’ve become a bit of a guardian to him. Don’t worry, I’m looking out for him. Sutapa and I talk often. Me and Ronnie, we’ve just finished a film project with Babil. He’s growing into a fine artist, slowly carving his own space in the industry. I’m sure he’s on the right path, just like you always envisioned."

"I know you’re watching over us from wherever you are, and that’s a comfort. There’s so much to talk about, but for now, I’ll just say adieu, friend. Lots of love,” Shoojit concluded.
