Two actors with the highest quality of acting.

[@muhammadabdullah1117]

True.

Yes absolutely

[@shahtushar2967]

Terribly true😆💕👌

[@jasvirgoldsmith5678]

sahi kaha

[@nihalkumar9102]

@Kapil Jain questioning what's wrong is a sign of patriotism. Naseer is a patriot way more than you.

[@ashishmarediya5792]

When you calm yourself, you start observing , when you observe you start absorbing, when you absorb you start reflecting. That's what I see in Irrfan Khan he brought himself in that calmness, having peace with oneself, coming close to oneself is what brings you close to perfection.

[@arpitrathod623]

Such a beautiful comment man ❤️

[@ashishbrahma5821]

Amazing

[@renubhandari3574]

I had to get up to fetch a paper and a pen to reflect on what have you written. It’s really good 👍

[@prairiehorse6168]

What's nice is the genuine curiosity that Naseer has to learn about Irrfan's journey. That's a sign of a brilliant actor who is curious to learn no matter what stage of life he/she is at.

[@anon33333-z]

What a conversation! We don't hear mainstream actors and actresses talking about movies so passionately. Thank you Naseer Sir and Irfan Sir and many others for being here. They enhance the quality of our industry.

[@saiumashiva6388]

Good point.. passion is absent in the mainstream ones

[@queenofzee]

unique...both

[@renubohra2388]

Mainstream actors are about fashion, fads...Irrfan, Naseer have studied, loved and lived cinema

[@queenofzee]

What do u expect from the likes of alia bhat, Varun dhavan, ranveer Singh etc etc

[@anchal479]

everytime Irrfan laughed in this discussion, it gave me so much satisfaction that he was happy and may remian happy forever even after his death

[@mohitsaxena4641]

True

[@renubohra2388]

He never had any bitterness, may be bcoz he saw life as a journey and had high integrity of only going by his choices.

[@NishantMishra]

I see Naseeruddin Shah and Irfan...I click...watch....like.

[@shalini.p6974]

Can't stop myself of thinking about him almost everytime,so much of attachment with any actor , never before!!!! Respect n love.

[@mayurmahajan1503]

i think Irrfan’s thoughts and his voice makes him so special

[@saiumashiva6388]

His eyes n his Soul.. 🙏🏻

Irfan deserves fan like you😆☺💖👌

[@queenofzee]

[@ashukaushik9266]

I love how easy going, chill and naturally attractive, Irrfan here. I will continue to love this man always. You're a legend and legends never die!

[@nottelling7429]

Watching this after the demise of Irfan Khan reminds you of how humble and lively he was

[@queenofzee]

Never have i ever felt this strange feeling within from a person's passing. It is not a regular feeling...I just love thinking his philosophy of life...truly a magician.. I feel so happy taking his name ♥️ Irrfan🎴 Thankyou soo much Sir.

[@crazyfm2007]

Absolutely n to learn more about life, we keep searching for his interviews to watch.

[@nazishs.8327]

So true... We keep looking for and watching his interviews everyday now

[@crazyfm2007]

[@himanshus2273]

Naseer, I absolutely loved your piece you wrote on Irrfan in The Hindu. And it's a massive statement you made that you envied his craft. RIP Irrfan. The best I have ever seen

[@nishilbright2007]

His name deserves respect .both of them

[@TheMohammadDanish]

One of the best conversation between actors about Indian cinema ever recorded. Loved Dara Singh's stories told by Naseer Sahab. Never knew he was such a big star in 60s, I only thought him as a wrestler.

[@DMD65]

Thank God there are so many things to hold onto even after he’s gone! BTW, loved the conversation between the two legends.

[@khanqadrimnqkhan275]

Two of the best actors of India in the same frame.

[@mt1704]

Two special people of Hindi movie industry are on stage here ... Ofcourse Mr. Naseeruddin Shah is way more senior than Mr. Irrfan Khan. Naseer sahab has given us terrific performances and movies but Irrfan is also very good in some movies and I feel he hasn’t been given enough good roles to prove his talent. It is and always will be a delight to watch both of them on screen. Thank you for brining these two together.

[@arsalafarooqui4312]

I love both of them but Irrfan Khan had a charm of his own that I'll be missing for the rest of my life 😭😭😭

[@nisubinny6002]

So modest of naseer Saab . he's behaving like irafaan is the senior

[@deepakpandey2935]

That's the persona of irrfan

[@kohatenclave]

One of the best actors on actors interview ever.

[@ajesha15s40]

Two legends together..love them..🙏🙏🙏

[@tanvirhussain6075]

I have noticed many times whenever great actors of India are conversing somehow the name of Dilip Kumar comes up. To me Dilip with his performances has influenced several generations. Even Shahid Kapoor recently said he learned how to act royal like a prince from watching Dilip Kumar in MugleAzam. No doubt the greatest Living legend.

[@walpozo]

Dilip Kumar is an institution in himself

[@bhaveshyadav5580]

But Shahid in padmavaat was meh

[@georgegeorgecherian]

delightful conversation!

[@themotivhubb]

I have watched tons of interview of Naseer Sahab but never ever saw him in such a joyful mood.

" Main akela hi chala tha janib-e-manzil magar, Log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya " RIP LEGEND

[@Sb-sl6dc]

These both actors are contributing lot to society as they are true and real actors. I solute to these.

[@dr.dispensing1171]

Take any interview of Irrfan's, the one common thing you'll find is that he never fails to mention how important it is to connect to his AUDIENCE through his CHARACTERS and not his IMAGE. He was one of those few actors who treated his audience as his equal which is main reason why his passing feels like a personal loss.

[@sunilh.sarjal6475]

calmness....no hurry.....point to point answers, no bakchodi
