Saba Qamar remembers her 'Hindi Medium' co-star Irrfan Khan

Saba said, "I had a good friendship with Irrfan. He used to crack so many jokes on sets. It was always fun when he was around. I like being well prepared and so for every project."

Pakistani actor Saba Qamar, who shared screen space with late actor Irrfan Khan in 'Hindi Medium', recently opened up about her experience of working with him. Describing him as a jovial person, Saba said, "I had a good friendship with Irrfan. He used to crack so many jokes on sets. It was always fun when he was around. I like being well prepared and so for every project, I always discuss my scenes with the Assistant Director and rehearse them with my co-actors."

She also spoke about Irrfan's acting process. "Irrfan's way of working was quite different, we never rehearsed our scenes. He was a great actor, so down to earth. I've learnt a lot from him. He was a gem of a person and I regret not being in touch with him," Saba, who is currently a part of Zindagi's new original 'Mrs. & Mr. Shameem', added.

Irrfan passed away on April 29, 2020, after a long battle with cancer. After his demise, Saba penned a note on Instagram that read- "Deeply disturbed to hear about the passing of Irrfan Khan. I still can’t absorb the news. It feels like yesterday coming back from the sets of Hindi Medium. You taught me a lot as an actor and a mentor. It is indeed a huge loss to the cinema world. Such a brilliant actor gone too soon."
