He has appeared in more than 30 films in Bollywood, to name a few remarkable roles of the actor are Paan Singh Tomar, Haasil, Life in a metro, Gunday, Maqbool, and Haider.

[@The2010arian]

He was a philosopher actor. Extraordinary human being 🙏 Om Shanti.

[@cypherotic]

A real actor was camouflaged under clusters of entertainers so was not much popular commercially in India but his genuineness and artistic skills were well recognized by all over the world in such a short time,

[@aman___004]

Such articulated thoughts..We lost something unimaginable 💙

[@roy8939]

Irrfan. I am happy about your achievements .. the only thing I am upset about is that you couldn’t live much to it. I feel you were just there in ur career from where you could have gone very far, you had a lot of unfinished stories to perform. All your life you hv struggled , and now when you were actually becoming what you hv always dreamed about You are gone too soon! This is heartbreaking !! 💔 it’s been 10 days that you are gone and I still can’t believe it! I hv watching you all these days . I miss you my Superstar . May you find ur peace ❤️🙏

[@deshbhakta6943]

He could have been great actor cross world and i was looking for that another best actor award in the oscar but he left us too soon.. He could have been huge. he was getting lead role in the films.

[@silverhead1033]

He wanted to change the way of Indian cinema in his own way. We love authentic regional stories of heroes that did something in their own way.I hope Bollywood now changes. Kangana also shares the same thoughts.
