Mumbai, April 29, 2026 – Six years after his passing, the legacy of legendary actor Irrfan Khan continues to resonate deeply across the Indian film industry and among audiences worldwide. On his death anniversary today, actress Sheena Chohan shared a poignant tribute that captured the enduring magic of his craft and the personal inspiration he left behind.
Taking to Instagram, Chohan posted a cherished throwback photograph from an international film festival, showing her standing alongside Irrfan Khan. The image reflects a quiet, warm connection between two artists — a moment that now holds even greater significance. Accompanying the photo, she wrote: “6 years today. Miss you Irrfan sir. You are forever an inspiration — as an artist who created such unforgettable characters, as a true professional, and as someone who remained a blank page for his directors. Remembering you today brings back the stillness, the magic, and the timeless echo of the iconic characters he brought to life. #IrrfanKhan.”

Growing up admiring his work, their brief meeting felt surreal. Irrfan praised her performance as the troubled star in Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s Ant Story (2013) and mentioned his upcoming collaboration with the same director on No Bed of Roses. “Knowing that our work had reached and moved him in that way made it feel like a beautiful full-circle moment,” she shared.
