‘Irfan Khan did not prepare much for his scenes, when I was doing ‘Hindi Medium‘, whatever magic was seen on the cinema screen, it happened right there.’
This is to say that Pakistani actress Saba Qamar, for whom the initial days of shooting for the Bollywood film ‘Hindi Medium’ were not easy because co-star Irfan Khan’s style of acting was not the same as what Saba was used to.
It has been two years today since the great Indian actor Irfan Khan, who worked in many Bollywood and Hollywood films and won many acting awards, left the world.
He is still remembered by his fans and co-stars. Saba Qamar is also one of those fans and co-stars, who acted as the heroine opposite Irrfan Khan in the 2017 Bollywood film ‘Hindi Medium’.
Saba says that every moment spent with Irrfan Khan was memorable, he had a wry sense of humor and used to joke around on the film sets.
He said that Irfan was a wonderful person, had a great personality and got the opportunity to learn a lot from him because his way of working was different. It is very sad that he left the world like this.
Saba says that she wished to work with Irrfan Khan and it was her luck that her first Bollywood work was with Irrfan Khan.

He said: ‘Initially I found it difficult to work with them, because that’s not how we work here. Be it TV or film, we rehearse our dialogues. So when Irfan worked with Khan, he said, ‘Saba Chalo, just do it.’
She said that she was a bit shocked as to how to do it, what would be the speed of delivering the dialogues, how would the voice fluctuate, what would the scene be like, what an actor thinks about his work.
‘For three days I didn’t understand, then I realized that I had never seen this acting school, so it was a very interesting and fun experience.’
He said that the two months he spent in Delhi with Irrfan Khan while making the film are his most beautiful memories. ‘Irfan was the same, no one can replace him.’
He said that he got to learn a lot from Irrfan Khan, and it was an honor to work with him.
According to Saba Qamar, Irrfan Khan’s departure from this world is a great loss for the film industry and it is difficult to recover.

**Interview with Saba Qamar on Her Memories of Irrfan Khan**
*Interviewer*: Thank you for joining us, Saba. It’s been two years since the passing of the incredible Irrfan Khan. How do you reflect on your time working with him in *Hindi Medium*?
*Saba Qamar*: Thank you for having me. Working with Irrfan was a beautiful experience, though it was challenging at first. His acting style was very different from what I was used to. He didn’t prepare much for his scenes; what you saw on screen was truly magical and spontaneous.
*Interviewer*: That’s fascinating. It must have been intimidating to adapt to his unique approach.
*Saba Qamar*: Absolutely. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed, but it taught me the beauty of spontaneity in acting. Every moment with him was special. He had this incredible wry sense of humor, always joking around on set, which made the atmosphere light and enjoyable.
*Interviewer*: Besides the humor, what else did you admire about him?
*Saba Qamar*: Irrfan was not just a phenomenal actor; he had an amazing personality. His depth and insight were remarkable. I learned so much from him, not only about acting but also about life. It’s heartbreaking that he left us so soon.
*Interviewer*: Do you have any regrets regarding your time with him?
*Saba Qamar*: I do regret not staying in touch after we finished filming. I wish I had reached out to him during his final days. I often think about what it would have been like to have one more conversation with him.
*Interviewer*: It sounds like his impact on you was profound. Is there a particular moment from filming that stands out in your memory?
*Saba Qamar*: There are many, but I cherish our lighter moments. There was one scene where I completely messed up my lines, and instead of getting frustrated, he just laughed and made a joke about it. That helped me relax and approach the scene in a much better way.
*Interviewer*: Thank you, Saba, for sharing your heartfelt memories of Irrfan Khan. His legacy continues to inspire many.
*Saba Qamar*: Thank you for remembering him. He will always be missed, but his work and spirit live on in our hearts and film.
