🌼🌼🌼 Celebrity deaths have never bothered me. I was never a Bollywood fan. Irrfan was one of the few people that kept my faith in Bollywood reaffirmed. Today that he is gone, it feels like a personal loss I have no words to express. . I shattered today when I heard the news. Art felt like the only way I could barely cope up for the loss. As I began to draw, all I could think of were dark colours and a blue heart, but no, I refuse to accept this. With a lump in my throat I chose the rainbow palette, for may his memories be painted only in colours of love and warmth and blossoms. Today, please let me believe, "An artist never dies". Let me find solace in that phrase, for I see no other way to heal. . Rest in peace, Irrfan Khan You will live in your creations forever. . Love, Aindriya 🌼🌼🌼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #irrfankhan #rip #restinpeace #artforhealing #indiancinema #indianart #indianartist #artoftheday #bollywood #heartbreaking #ripirrfankhan #missyou #writersofinstagram #artistsofinstagram #artistscommunity #movienerd #bollywoodmovies #nationaldayofmourning #heartbreat #artforhealing #quarantineartclub #quarantinelife #piku #thelunchbox #lifeofpi

I started making this illustration from Paan Singh Tomar back in May 2018, couldn't complete it. Life is so uncertain, one moment you are winning people's heart by your performance the other moment you're not there. Still remember his interview for Jurassic World in which Irrfan said he didn't have money to buy tickets for Jurassic Park part 1 and now I am playing an important role in that movie franchise. Will miss your mesmerizing perfomances, your beautiful eyes, your soulful smile. THANK YOU IRRFAN KHAN, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE @irrfan #myows

Born on January 7, 1966 as Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan in Jaipur, Irrfan was pursuing his MA degree when he earned a scholarship to study at the National School of Drama. After a successful stint on television, he made his big-screen debut in the 1988 Mira Nair-directed Salaam Bombay.

With many accolades under his belt, he won a National award and four Filmfare awards and was honoured with the Padma Shri in 2011 by the Indian government for his contribution to arts and cinema. Known for his versatility and seemingly effortless performances, he was one of the most respected stars in Indian cinema.
