Irrfan Khan’s Qarib Qarib Single 4 Turn: Sutapa Sikdar remembers husband, shares an anecdote

late Friday marks four years Bollywood Actor Irrfan Khan starrer Qarib Qarib Single has been released. Sharing the memory on his Facebook wall today, Irrfan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar penned a note remembering the actor. Sutapa shared a Facebook memory from 2017 where Irrfan posted critics’ opinion on his film Qarib Qarib Single. The theater artist began the note by saying that she is still battling sleep disorders after a year and a half.

At times, when she couldn’t sleep, Sutapa said her Facebook profile opens a “flood gate of memory, a new one every day”. These memory updates from the social media platform remind Sutapa of poet Sahir Ludhianvi’s famous lines, “Tum hote toh ye hota”, which her husband Irrfan actually once wanted to recite somewhere. Sutapa’s Facebook post also mentioned how she and Irrfan used to remember lines recited by actor Amitabh Bachchan in Silsila when they were both students at the National School of Drama. She wrote, “Bachchan saab’s iconic voice traveled many times in student days and irfan used to marvel at him but twenty five years later sahir saab lead the fantasy on bachchan saab and irfan who would say in late night conversation’ Yaar’ mujhe bolna tha ye ek baar (I wanted to say these lines once).'” However, Sutapa added, “Some journeys stop suddenly and leave you almost single.”
