The demise of actor Irrfan Khan was more of a personal loss for many people. He was too young to die. People wanted more films from him. But alas, God has some other plans. We now pray that Irrfan keeps entertaining on the other side of the world. Meanwhile, his wife Sutapa Sikdar penned an emotional note and posted it on social media about a while ago. She stated that it is not a loss, but again. Here are some of the excerpts from Sutapa's message.
Sutapa started off by writing, "How can I write this as a family statement when the whole world is taking it as a personal loss? How can I begin to feel alone when millions are grieving with us at the moment? I want to assure everyone that this is not a loss, it is again. It's again of the things he taught us, and now we shall finally begin to truly implement it and evolve. Yet I want to try to fill in the things that people don't already know. "
"It's unbelievable for us but I would put it in Irrfan's words, "it's magical" whether he is there or not there, and that's what he loved, he never loved one-dimensional reality. The only thing I have a grudge against him is; he has spoiled me for life. His strive for perfection doesn't let me settle for ordinary in anything," she added.
She further mentioned what her kids Ayaan and Babil learned from their father. She wrote, "I asked my children, if possible, they could sum up a lesson taught by their father that has been important to them;
Babil: 'Learn to surrender to the dance of uncertainty and trust your faith in the universe.'
Ayaan: 'Learn to control your mind and to not let it control you.' "
"Tears will flow as we will plant a Raat ki rani tree, his favorite, to the place where you have put him to rest after a victorious journey. It takes time but it will bloom and the fragrance will spread and touch all the souls whom I won't call them fans but family for years to come," Sutapa concluded.
