According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, “We were shooting in the desert and while Irrfan and a lot of team bunked out in tents, Chintuji would drive two hours back to the hotel. He was averse to early morning shoots’ but there was this sunrise shot we had to shoot with him and he was refusing to comply, saying, “I’m an actor, not a doodhwala.” Irrfan finally managed to convince him to spend the night in the desert with us with the promise of Chicken Jungli and alcohol. It was a near-impossible feat in Kutch, but he delivered on his promise and I got my shot.”

On Tuesday, Irrfan had been admitted in Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital with a colon infection. He passed away on Wednesday. The actor has been ailing ever since he was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour two years back. Rishi Kapoor passed away on April 30 morning at Mumbai’s HN Reliance Hospital leaving the world in a state of sadness. He was battling leukaemia for the last two years. May his soul rest in peace.
