Irrfan

- I have been recording conversations between scientists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and artists as a part of a continuing film project.
In 2015, ideas curator Lakshmi Pratury brought great change-makers together for the INK Talks conference in Mumbai.
In the hotel lobby, I paired people who didn’t know each other, together, for candid freewheeling conversations. I offered them only three cues - the self, the ecosystem, and the future of humans.
In one such exchange, actor Irrfan and entrepreneurs Asha Jadeja, Sunny Singh, and Anu Aga shared insights with each other.
While this is yet to be edited for the final film, the following raw edit is being released as a tribute to the great actor as I remember him - a vast, compassionate, rational, and graceful seeker of truth.

Thank you for giving us the closure we needed Anand.
I like your movie reviews! Oops not a movie review'!
+1
Sucharita Tyagi, I don’t think this video gives us a closure ! Though I want something to do so ! Infact, this video makes me wonder what newer spaces he would have travelled, had he lived more 😢😢
There can't be closure.. Gone too soon..
95% times I don't agree with you. Gladly this counts amongst the other 5%. Well said 👍🏼
How he just respectfully made the guy instantly join into the conversation and not making him feel left out or ignored. How he asked her if it was alright to ask about something personal.. Man! We lost a unique gentleman with a talent that was beyond.
th-cam.com/video/7JfNeyaV-Wk/w-d-xo.html best tribute..do.watch..you're gonna love it..
So true
@Nicole Joesph No he didn't cz this is scripted I mean not the conversation but these four people this is not a coincidence that that guy came and he instantly join him.
@@pcgaming2320 I meant in general.. The way he gracefully talks and greets even the older women.
I can't get over Irfan's death while this pandemic is going crazy
Anand Gandhi, you're a gift to this planet. The kind of things you're doing, it will take a lot of time for a lot of us to understand the value of it. Thank you so much for everything. And thank you so much for this.
indeed
Ship of theseus
The way irrfan ji welcomed that old lady shows his clarity of soul... we miss a gem..... heart broken 😥
Gem! he was
Truly a Gem! He was
Yes, it's very really. Imagine Salman or SRK or KJO welcoming her. They talk so automated way, no insight no realism, speak just to please audience
This made me cry . I don’t know why we all think that we have lost someone who was just like us . Not a movie star but Just like us . Great human being ❤️
True
I saw an interview today and I remember him saying why he did not want to be called a star but just an actor... he said he didn't want to send across a message to his audiences that he is in any way superior to them and he wanted each one of them to know that he is just one of us on the big screen.. such a lovely human being!
Questioning is the real Faith, he was his own person and his cinema a reflection of his soul.
amazing! so true!
while watching the father-son conversation (in the car) clip from Namesake, I realized that the dialogues in the scene were almost the same words that Irrfan was using years later answering a journalist's question narrating experiences about parent hood. undoubtedly, it is needless to say his acting was so reflective of and intertwined with his life-experiences !
So true
@@kumarnarayana5105 I want to see Name sake movie i dont know from where I can get it ... can u suggest me
@@swatiyadav6558 I would suggest you to read the book first. You will absolutely love it.
@@swatiyadav6558
Hi Swati, you can rent it from Amazon, is the best I can suggest! Or in case you have a membership, some public libraries may get movies for their patrons!
“You have just 30 seconds..Irrfan has to leave” that hit me so hard.
Absolutely! It hit me real hard too!
🥲
It did
Our stay on this Earth is short, our roles dispensable and our impact inconsequential...
That makes everything pertinent or inconsequential ?
We have been made to believe that our roles on earth are dispensable and our impact inconsequential. In the true nature of things, Life itself is a book of Lessons and our impact is our ideal purpose.
@@PriyaSingh-zi6ee false thought... what impact other organisms bring upto the earth??? Human imapct is based on his selfishness and luxury... look how earth changed during this lockdown... now its clear what impact humans are doing
I would take that with a pinch of salt as the newest geological epoch has been named "Anthropocene" after the enormous impact that human beings are having on the physical cycles of the Earth; it's hard to proclaim it to be inconsequential.
Not even a single speck of dust is inconsequential
The way Anand ended the video is something I can 't stop admiring. Everyone parting their ways and the chaos begins
How can 13 people even dislike it. I hope they remain busy on their tiktoks only
its become 50 now
"you should be easy with the uncertainty and the unknowable"
Even irfan told one of is sons as teaching about it ..
He's great human being and constant thinker around the clock
That hit me really hard
Yesterday, I read Sutapa mam's tweet, she said the actor always used to find gain in everything and after going through this video I realised she was right when she said there is a gain in his departure. The multi dimensional view point and saying we Indians looking for role models. I rightly agree with his points. We are taking spirituality in a different direction. We have been fighting on having best spiritualism in the world even without knowing the half of it. The more we know about it the more is unknown to know. I gained from his death...I gained his attitude to do the right thing even if others aren't doing because right is right even if zero person is doing it. Wrong is wrong even if all of them are doing. Thanks a ton for uploading this video and I wish we could have more videos featuring the young mind with grey hairs. 🙂
now that's an actor, one who didn't surrender his life to the superficialities of Bollywood and stardom, but rather inwards, such a spiritual soul
You can tell Irrfan didn't belong here and he left for higher realms in his quest! We love you! We miss you! But we didn't deserve you! You are a Gem! I gained so much from You and I keep gaining everyday! Om Shanti Irrfan may you attain Sadgati
"Excuse me, irrfan has a flight to catch, we've to wrap this up in 30 seconds." this just shot shivers down my spine...
Last part where vasan comes to say he has a flight to catch, afterwards the phrase which he tells is so profound.
*We Should Be Easy With Uncertainty*
It's like I am still not done, I want to hear him more! I want to watch him more! Thank you for this wonderful video.
Irrfan Khan is unique, for him acting was his passion that turned into a profession and nothing beyond that. He understood life is more than fame and display of extravagance, it was to live it with contentment and caring. Why is that I didn't know more about this wonderful soul when he existed. RIP.
What a philosophically insightful conversation!
I think it's metaphoric that Irrfan had to catch a flight and this beautiful conversation had to be wrapped up, leaving us wanting more of it just like his untimely demise and our longing for more of Irrfan's work.
Still struggling to come to terms with his death.
Marvelous !! I literally had tears in the end. His ora is so pure. You can see that. You can feel that. You can listen that.
The humbleness makes these people think widely, listen to every viewpoint in this cosmic evolution
humility*
He was not just a superb actor, but also a thinking, questioning and highly intelligent human being. He will be missed.
In this conversation, only Irrfan was worth listening to. Not trying to push any politics, not trying to sound learned, he simply is so intelligent.
All I feel is : Enlightened !
Thank you Anand, Irrfan !
Respect for Irrfan has rose drastically knowing him by some of his videos like this...
I've personally met asha ma'am. She's this humble, everytime. And gives out immense amount of energy to the people around her.
Beautiful.. So many things emerging after his death.. His thought process.. He was evolved.. Probably he is.. In fact still around us.
Irrfan was different fm other Khans, I believe, he was Divine soul. His Rajasthani roots, made hm more Wiser. As,he grew in Hindu Culture.Gud video.
Irrfan da was a philosopher who conveyed his ideas through his acting !
What a great analysis bro.
he was above all the actors, I guess that was the reason.
Thank you very much Anand for sharing this...Rest in Peace...Irfan
A beautiful person gone too early. Miss his sincerity! He had so much more to give. I hope that we all try and understand how inquisitive yet respectful he was to life and nature, and I hope we all can imbibe that in at least some ways in our lives. Still so much to learn from him.
This is quite a revelation. Never knew Irrfan was so articulate and so deep in his thoughts.
It's a very nice conversation on spirituality ..... Irrfan Sir mode of wishing others is great and involving in any aspects amazing..... being a great great great star he is always humble simple normal towards others......Sir I will miss u throughout my lifelong to U RIP🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏LUV U SIR
Best part.. 16:01 Listen to Irrfan's version of truth which is beyond any comprehension of religion.. Irrfan was a great philosopher.. His view of looking at life, mortality and truth is impressive.. I wished to have listened to you more.. "We have this sense of 'we' or self.. 'We'' are nothing.. Maybe the consciousness is experiencing itself through us.." 🙏
Thanks so much Anand Gandhi for sharing this -there are many of us who are saddened by his departure-though knowing him only through his work and interactions like these .I believe Irrfan is a learned man and so god took him away from us.Its Always this set that god picks to his place irrespective of their journey time on earth!!
He goes and leaves a path open to realization of truth and consciousness.
This showed up on my TH-cam feed. I knew it would be a gem. But did not feel ready to watch it. Wasn't sure that I could bear another reminder that he is no more. Now, I am so glad I watched it. And glad we have his words to help us heal through what so many of us experience as a personal loss (despite having had no direct connect) His words, the freedom he talks about, the embracing of uncertainty, the recognition of being part of the creation and therefore inherently incapable of/inadequate in a way to perceive the whole.... Words that can shatter and yet liberate too... Opening up our minds to a dimension where he exists, not as only his memories, but as a part of us... Where we are not truly separate, but only a perceivable separate part of an ever evolving whole. You live on...
The art of listening and conveying opinion can be learnt from this gentleman.
Thanks for giving us the closure. Much needed. Couldn't digest the fact that he is no longer with us. But now its makes sense a bit. Love ❤
Thank you Mr.Anand Gandhi for this . His interpretation and understanding of Life was a way I would dream to achieve someday and really like the simplicity of a man with such high thinking . He talks as if he truly understood the meaning of Life and Beyond ... He talks like he is conveying a message from someone above .
Wonderful to watch his conversation here and what an engaging convo. Between these all ..
Now i know why this irreparable loss feels so personal. I can sense an evolved and great soul left this mortal world for higher journey. Irrfan you were a rare gem, there shall never be one like you. My heart aches for you, your words, and your physical sight. May you attain eternal peace wherever you are. ❤
This popped up on my feed exactly on 29th april 2024. 4 years ago we lost a distant family member and it just seems like yesterday. Ask me 20 years later and i would still not have recovered from this loss.
I am immensely thankful to you for uploading this. There was a lump in my throat. He really cared about society and how his body of work affected society. Thank you for being inspiration.
I cried happily to know that the variety, humility, humour and love could be so easy, warm and open ... thank you Anand for bringing them into my home ... it touched me deeply --- as if i was one of their valued friends just listening - may you be blessed with these friends and more.
This video has been a sign I was looking for....feeling of restlessness, unfairness prevail after Irrfan's passing...and this can not be justified to anyone...how can a celebrity I watch on screen be mourned for this long and for what? This is how you grieve near and dear ones... I have been questioning life after death and the entire evening I read up on near death experiences and what is that talks about continuation of life after this is over...a concept which is more inclusive beyond religious beliefs and I heard it from the man himself...Thank you, am so grateful for this.
Salute to Irrfan. He gave efforts in trying to understand the meaning of life. A good role model to acquire some of his ideas. RIP Irrfan Sir.
There will be nobody like him ever again. I think he was evolved more than the whole lot of woke people.
I realized too late that I can be a fan of an actor too :) loved watching it, and I marvel more and more at the multifaceted talent in Irrfan khan we have lost. Irrfan, you will be remembered with so much respect and love always. Thank you for posting this.
M angry on myself a bit too. I have lost these years watching fashionable movies while the gem was near. This publicity thing is a curse. We are so lost in promotional activities of buggies that we have no time to see the gems
Sir, please bring the full episode of irrfan sir talking, can’t get over this❤❤.
why i am crying after listening the conversation , is it Expainable . But not in the memory of Great Irrfan who makes me smile whenever i try to recall the Legacy of the LEGEND.
The way he greeted the old lady at 6:58 , tells us what a great gentleman he was.
She is Anu Aga
Irrfan Khan was an advanced soul.
He was awakened which not many ppl will understand.
I think he must have attained Moksha
Maybe he just got relieved from the cycle of birth and death.
I wish I could take this footage go back in time and show it to the young Irfan in the days of his struggle.
I am watching this now after Irrfan is no more. it feels like we have lost a man who was irreplaceable & most needed! Love you Irrfan sir
We'll alwys remember u...in our hearts.....it's so difficult to believe still that u are no more..... really miss u alots☹️....u had alwys inspired us and bring smile on our face..,.
I don’t think I will ever witness a better conversation in my lifetime. You are missed Irrfan sir
Oh man! You have no idea what change have you done to many people's lives by sharing this video! God bless you!
Thank you, thank you so much for this. this was beautiful.
Unbelievable! Irrfan had read Sri Aurobindo!! Wow. Only those who have read him will understand what I am saying.
Watching this video makes me feel that he is not gone and may be no one goes, there are many person like him, around you, and you dont need to find them you will eventually meet them, and when you do learn from them take all good things and spread love to the world, and in the end when you are gone, you will still be in any of you and eventually you are never gone.
Thanks for sharing this video with the world. He was a real gem. Will miss watching his work and he was a terrific and composed human being.
Omg this video is a gem ! He was moving to newer spaces. I so wish he continued to live more, wanted to know his thoughts more, wanted to watch his works more 😢😢😢
Thank you very much for this, Mr. Anand Gandhi ❤️ Listening to even the shortest conversation or interview with him makes me think better and respect him more. This loss is just incomparable.
Summary :
1) Our stay in this world is so short
2) Our roles, dispensable
3) Our impact is inconsequential
Thanks a lot for this. This is the Irffan we didn’t know. More love!
"May be the consciousness is experiencing itself through us"
- Irrfan
Damn! What did you just said bro!! ❤️❤️ I could listen to their conversation for years.
Hell yeah, I am crying.
Why did it end?
Why did you leave us?
Why did Anand interrupt them?
Why couldn't we listen him more?
Why couldn't we watch him more?
He was a treasure.
"The man who only earned love."
Finally, Thanks Anand for your benevolence.😌
Such a charsima...a true zen!and yes cant wait to watch the full documentary ....
I think we are blessed to have this clip...cant believe he is not with us now...what a person..incredible..his ideology are the perfect example of self seeking...we lost a gem..please come back irrfan. Thankyou anand.
I cried and cried and cried. Thank you for being there in my lifetime, Irfan Sir . What you said answers the anxiety and a big part of my search for who I am and what I am here for. I love you to bits.
Thank you thank you so much for this. I always admired him as an actor but the more I'm getting to watch the human and his insight, his wisdom I feel enriched. What a man Irrfan is! He can never go away. The very special corner of our hearts will always be secured for this man only. He is there. He shall be there forever.
Man! why aren’t there more meaningful conversations like this than the gossip and glamor Indian cinema portrays! I could watch him speak forever. Irfan sir is so profound and knowledgeable, not like the rest just busy on social media and craving the limelight ... Miss him dearly 😇 RIP!
These free-reeling 18 minutes captured unique reflections by Irfan Khan than any of the carefully constructed interviews. What a joy to be part of someone's examination of the existentialist questions life poses for us all. Thank you for the video and more for the share.
I wish this conversation could have gone a little longer. Can listen to him for hours.
I am speechless ........he was and is not just mere Actor.......so simple.....yet so profound...his quest, his journey, his thought and his art is way beyond of this mundane mediocrity around us....... Thank you very much Anand for this candid piece :-)
I have been reading about Irrfan's death since the news came out being numb. This video finally let me cry. Thank you for the closure.
Irrfan i don’t know where are you now... just letting you know that we all miss you and you will live in our hearts for ever..!
Irfan you will never be forgotten , no just an actor reading scripts ✌🏼
Thank you Anand. This was beautiful. You captured him at his best.
I saw this because of Irfan Khan. I never thought that so randomly I can see this kind of conversation on TH-cam. I mean it was no natural and realistic, especially the body language of each and every person those are involved in it. Each line I listened repeatedly and it gives an idea how human beings fr different origin and work came together in a conversation as well as put that much on table within few minutes.
Moreover in my whole life I never feel so much affected which I am feeling from last few days for the lose of a gem from this world, Irfan Khan. The innocence he had in his soul is something which is entirely lost in Human of this era. I mean it is very difficult to gain that much of access towards unconsciousness of life and it's unpredictability, which he was able to.
Further after listening four of them I realises one think for sure and that is the unpredictability of life. Nothing is more superior than each breath we are taking in write now. It is true that human being is a species which is far curious than any other in tha planet to know more and more, but it is completely unnecessary to do so. As it is really important to value what we have not to what we don't. We have a perfect biologically evolved body and breath to be alive, planet to live, food to eat, as well as people and civilizations to grow with. I think it is enough for us. Just live the moment instead of non utilisation of it. The borders, boundaries, caste, cultures, politics, economics and so on are just hypothetical assumptions made by various group of humans and spreaded over like a virus. It is more dangerous than any other virus o diseases. I mean first we have to step back and calm down to understand real self, a self which is in the form of inner soul and must have to understand why we are doing what we do. Just relax and calm down, see the world it's still there, see the nature it's still there, see the species it's still there, nobody is running but just and only we are those are running, for what? we don't have a specific answer to it. We must have to learn again about our importance or importance of same other human beings, and just have to live and breath in a way it has to be.
Otherwise near to the end of a life, one can realise it's real importance, so why not now - To Live and Breath.
I don't know what i am doing here and writing, it hurts to see what we are doing as life is very short.
Lovely to meet you again Mr. Irfan Khan.
And thank you Mr. #AnandGandhi who shared this amazing raw video. It is so lovely as it raw and not edited. Thank you🙏💕
After watching this video I am missing Irrfan much more..😪😪
Wow...this man had so much depth...that made him very endearing...perhaps that's why we all connected to him personally...
Thankyou Anand for giving us the close glimpse of Irrfan!
Anand, thank u so much for this. The man was a beautiful evolving seeker. What a shame we could not Learn more from him
If possible, I want to fix this moment in time loop so that there conversation never end. Only keep repeating from the beginning and they just keep conversing about many things in a that loop. But the reality is We lost such a great human being...RIP IRRFAN sir...🙏🙏
Everyone knows how philosophical and how spiritually inclined Irrfan was. But I had become a fan of Anand Gandhi after the Ship ob Theseus and more after his interview together with Anubhav Sinha. He is well read and expresses his ideas so eloquently. I just wish the ideas come to life.
Irrfan is like rarest element on the earth.
Irfan.....Miss you....♥️
Love you...
Thanks anand gandhi.....
What a wonderful sneak peek into the mind and thoughts of Irrfan. I hope he went in peace and that his soul finds peace in the afterlife. Thank you for sharing this gem with us, Anand. Looking forward to the rest of it now.
P.S. came across someone else’s comment here about his flight being a metaphor for his death - that left us wanting more. How beautifully put.
Thank you so much🙏🏻❤
Lot of doubts about life is cleared. Missing you Irrfan
Marvelous! Simply outstanding! Thanks Anand for this brilliant bit of convo!
Anu aga ends it brilliantly
Our existence is short
Our roles are responsible and
Our impact is inconsequential!!!
I would have loved to see such conversations between Irfan and Sushant ❤️
It would have been a bliss to watch and hear intelligent human beings share their ideas about life
They may have the box office collection of 1000 crores but this man ...What he is carrying inside him, they can't buy , can't create and can't imagine.. It's eternal, unborn truth which reflects through him. #Legend
I learnt about Irrfan's demise today. I remember watching one of his movies i.e. Life Of Pi. He was a good actor and I am sure he also made his country proud. I now want to know more about his work... I wish he were given more work in Hollywood... Then maybe I would have known him better while he was still alive as himself. Now... He is still alive in the memories of his loved ones. Thank you for this video.
He's worked in a few Hollywood projects namely, Jurassic World & Inferno.
I cant believe what i just saw.
The level of this conversation, the clarity in the thoughts, the ease with uncertainty and what not.
Wonderful!!!
just wow, thank you so much, Anand, for these wonderful lessons with Irrfan and other great people.
Irrfan Sir's gone, his art his learnings remain. This beautiful beautiful video only echoes what he was as an actor, as a human being. Thank you thank you for this 🌸🌼🌸🌼
Thank you so much for this. Its strange how relevant this conversation is in today's world.
Felt like he was speaking what I feel inside but only more wisely. He had a lifetime of experience in seeing life. He played his role with the same experience and played like no one could. Irrfan you were the only thread that kept me linked with bollywood. Without you that thread is gone. May you find peace wherever you are. I hope your family have enough strength to bear your loss. RIP.
Why haven’t I watched this before it’s been 2 years that it had been posted or should I think that may be I wouldn’t have felt the way I feel now. Uncertainty❤
