2020 was a year of extreme grief and pain for the Bollywood industry as it took with it some of the most iconic actors. One such ace Bollywood star was Irrfan Khan. Thursday marks the 54th birth anniversary of Irrfan Khan. Actress Radhika Madan, who got a chance to work with the late actor as his on-screen daughter, has penned a heartfelt wish for him. The duo worked together in Angrezi Medium, which turned out to be Irrfan's last released film.
Remembering the late actor, Radhika shared a video on Instagram where she beautifully expressed how Irrfan's presence will always be felt.
"I was sitting on my couch and spotted a light on Irrfan sir's picture. When I went closer I saw it was a reflection of a lighted Diya. It's his birthday today but the presence he has in all our hearts is felt everyday. Happy Birthday, sir," She captioned the video.
