Irrfan Khan's Wife Sutapa Sikdar Eulogy Will Leave You Teary Eyed

The wife of acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan, who breathed his last on April 29, posted a heartfelt eulogy on Facebook about how her husband had touched so many lives and how "he has spoiled her for life".

In an intimate statement, producer Sutapa Sikdar, who met Mr. Khan at the National School of Drama, expressed how ‘uninvited guests’ in Khan’s life, cancer, had turned their lives upside down. But yet they managed to "see harmony in the cacophony" because of Irrfan's attitude and philosophy towards life.

“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 a gain. It’s a gain of the things he taught us, and now we shall finally begin to truly implement it and evolve,” said Sikdar in her eulogy. Khan and Sutapa met during their college days and fell in love.

“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. There was a rhythm which he always saw in everything, even in cacophony and chaos, so I have learnt to sing and dance to the music of that rhythm, even with my tone-deaf voice and two left feet". Sutapa also described their life as a masterclass in acting and how doctor's reports were like scripts for them "which she wanted to perfect". She also thanked the team of doctors for treating Irrfan.

"I find this two-and-a-half years to have been an interlude, which had it's own beginning, middle, and culmination with Irrfan helming the role of the orchestra conductor, separate from the 35 years of our companionship. Ours was not a marriage, it was a union. I see my little family, in a boat, with both my sons Babil and Ayaan, paddling it forward, with Irrfan guiding them "wahan nahi, yahan se modo" but since life is not cinema and there are no retakes, I sincerely wish my children sail this boat safely with their father's guidance in mind and rockabye through the storm."

She also asked her children to not to forget what Khan had taught them. "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.'"
