Jay Patel, Irrfan Khan
Indo-American actor Jay Patel, who recently portrayed Shyamji Krishna Varma in the historical film ‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar’, remembers Irrfan Khan on his fourth death anniversary. While paying tribute to Irrfan Khan on his fourth death anniversary, Jay says, "It feels like just yesterday that I was missing him. From paychecks to passion, from fancy restaurants to boutique bookstores, from soulful conversations to casting roles, from planned trips to spontaneous strolls, I feel blessed to have experienced life through his humble eyes."
Jay continues, "I still remember how vastly different our lives and worlds were when Tishu (Tigmanshu Dhulia) introduced us. He hailed from the realm of arts, while I navigated the world of business. Yet, our bond of friendship transcended our differences, revealing that we were more alike than we could have imagined. Our friendship, our conversations, and our shared moments brought joy and meaning to my life—memories that I will cherish forever."
