Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar mourns friend’s demise due to COVID-19; says, “I couldn’t get a bed in ICU for him”

Late actor Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar shared how the unavailability of a hospital bed in Delhi resulted in the death of a relative who was diagnosed by Covid-19. Sutapa, on Sunday, penned down a note which she tagged as ‘#notanobituary’.

In the post, she mourned and paid tribute to one of her relatives, “I will never ever forget that I couldn’t get a bed in ICU for him because he was not Chota Rajan.” She also adds, “I will not forget this mayhem in delhi, You don’t forget too that Banerjee sheikhs das adjanias all have to go and they could have stayed with us all a bit longer if we would have concentrated as a country more on hospital oxygen plants then hindu festivals and muslim festivals. #delhigovt#modi#bettertobeachotarajan#don’t forget.”

Sikdar mentions Chhota Rajan in her message to showcase how the notorious criminal was admitted at All India Institute of Medical Services on April 27 when he tested positive for the Coronavirus, while her friend struggled to procure a bed or get admitted to a hospital. Sutapa Sikdar is a National School of Drama alumna and met her husband and late actor Irrfan Khan at the institute.

The duo got married in 1995 and has two kids – Babil and Ayaan. Sikdar has written dialogues for many Bollywood films such as Supari, Shabd, and Kahaani and even produced the comedy romance Qarib Qarib Singlle in 2017.
