Pakistani actor Saba Qamar, who shared screen space with late actor Irrfan Khan in `Hindi Medium`, recently opened up about her experience of working with him. Describing him as a jovial person, Saba said, “I had a good friendship with Irrfan. He used to crack so many jokes on sets. It was always fun when he was around. I like being well prepared and so for every project, I always discuss my scenes with the Assistant Director and rehearse them with my co-actors.”
She also spoke about Irrfan`s acting process. “Irrfan`s way of working was quite different, we never rehearsed our scenes. He was a great actor, so down to earth. I`ve learnt a lot from him. He was a gem of a person and I regret not being in touch with him,” Saba, who is currently a part of Zindagi`s new original `Mrs. & Mr. Shameem`, added.
Irrfan passed away on April 29, 2020, after a long battle with cancer. After his demise, Saba penned a note on Instagram that read- “Deeply disturbed to hear about the passing of Irrfan Khan. I still can’t absorb the news. It feels like yesterday coming back from the sets of Hindi Medium. You taught me a lot as an actor and a mentor. It is indeed a huge loss to the cinema world. Such a brilliant actor gone too soon.”
