Sutapa Sikdar celebrates her birthday today and penned an emotional note for Irrfan Khan. Reminiscing how the late actor would always forget birthdays, she wrote, “You could never remember birthdays..offlate you were kind of embarrassed of that.. This was about this world and its ways... Do you remember today in the world with some other energies.. How is it up there? You always wondered when you were in this world always about the other world ..do you still forget birthdays?”Irrfan's son Babil also shared a heartwarming post for his mother's birthday. Along with the photo, he shared, "It’s my queen’s birthday"
Sutapa recently, made her first public appearance after the actor's death. She spoke at a special screening of Paan Singh Tomar at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. "I remember Irrfan had dreams in his eyes. It's a special moment because it's an honour and privilege to be given a tribute. I'm happy to be here, this is the first time I've come out of home. But one needs closures to walk ahead, and IFFI is a closure," she said. Irrfan died in April 2020 after a two-year battle with cancer. He is survived by wife Sutapa and two sons: Babil and Ayaan. Both Sutapa and Babil occasionally share heartfelt posts and throwback pictures in the actor’s memory on social media. He was last seen in ‘Angrezi Medium’ co-starring Radhika Madan in the lead role. The movie received positive reviews from the audience and the critics alike.
