I only wanted the janjaal of school to get over: Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan also opened up about how he was as a student since the film is about schooling, and admission woes. He said, “My teachers and classmates didn’t even know that I existed. I was a very ‘lost’ child, nobody knew where I was. When my teachers would ask me my name, they could never hear me, and they used to then scold me and ask me to talk loudly! ‘

I was a shy kid. I still remember how as a child I always wanted to grow up and get rid of the janjaal (daily rut)! This was also because we used to go to school early in the morning so I had to leave at 6 am and my school would get over at 3pm, but we could only leave school at 4.30 pm. By the time I reached home, the day was over. My younger brother would tell me how he flew kites and had fun, but I didn’t get to do all that. I would only wonder when I would get to fly kites.”
