Saba Qamar remembers late actor Irrfan Khan and regrets not keeping in touch with him
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Saba called him Irrfan “gem of a person” and that she has learnt a lot from him. Praising the late actor Saba said “He was such a fine actor, a gem of a person, maza aa gaya unke saath kaam karke. I have learnt a lot from him.
Recalling her shoot days with Irrfan, Saba shared that she did not rehearse a single scene for the film. Saba went on to share that it was all together a new experience for her because she is a well-prepared actor and before going to any shoot, she would rehearse her scenes. She was quoted saying “I remember a day before we were going to start shooting for the film in Delhi, we did a few lines with the cast and the crew but didn’t really rehearse-rehearse. That was something new for me, and was a different kind of experience. So that is the thing that I have learnt from Irrfan sir that you don’t need to rehearse much.”
During the shoot of Hindi Medium, she added how Irrfan’s magic created a different ambience on the sets. The Mrs & Mr Shameem actress also regretted not being in touch with Irrfan Khan. The actress explained that when his health deteriorated, she thought of calling him to know about his well-being but she couldn’t because of shooting and travelling.
