Randeep Hooda Shares a Heartbreaking Moment from Irrfan Khan’s Funeral

One of the finest actors of Bollywood, Irrfan Khan passed away at the age of 54 after battling with the neuroendocrine tumour for two long years. He was admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Tuesday, however, breathed his last on April 29, Wednesday. 

Irrfan’s last rites were performed at Versova Yari Road Kabristan in presence of his family members and close friends.

In a recent interview, actor Randeep Hooda reveals that he went to Irrfan’s funeral, and shares a heartbreaking moment from that day. When asked about the ‘new normal’ after the entire COVID-19 fiasco is over, Randeep told Hindustan Times:

“I went to Irrfan’s funeral (April 29); he was buried right next to my house. There I realised that nobody could really hug anybody (pauses), so that’s the new normal we all have to get used to.”

Besides, the Extraction actor also talks about the negative news on Twitter and whether it bothers him. “There is a whole world inside Twitter, especially the one that’s arguing about things which are only relevant in the Twitter world. In the real world, nobody really gives a damn. It is a very negative platform, I mean they’re fighting and squabbling over little things, ideas, little statements, and that’s to much. I ignore that and I look for positivity even there” Hooda says.

Currently, the actor is under lockdown at his house and is making the most of his time by doing voice exercises on the harmonium, imagination exercises, contemplating on staging a production, and then reading scripts, books, poetry, watching and catching up on shows.

On the work front, Randeep Hooda was recently seen in the Netflix film Extraction. Directed by Sam Hargrave and written by Joe Russo, the action thriller film stars Chris Hemsworth, Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani, Pankaj Tripathi and David Harbour in pivotal roles.
