Qarib Qarib Singlle: This is what got Irrfan Khan teary-eyed!

Actors Irrfan Khan and Parvathy, whose ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’ is winning hearts, recently dropped in at a theatre to watch the audience’s live reaction; and it turned out to be an emotional episode indeed!

The film’s simple yet heartwarming story struck the audience right, and it was visible. Elated, Parvathy thanked the audience while Irrfan was almost choked.

“This is the first time I have tears in my eyes seeing your reactions. We are alive because of you, you are acknowledging our effort even we are telling you stories and I want to do stories where I can indicate a hero inside you. You know we see a lot of cinemas where a hero is something who is a superman or is not identifiable who you don’t relate to that person. I want to create stories where I could tell you that there is a hero inside everybody and you should also be able to romance like this, it is not only me,” he said.

“Even I am very overwhelmed. Earlier also I have attended many first-day first shows and seen it with the audience and since nobody really recognises me so it’s very easy for me. But this time it was amazing to watch you guys responding to Jaya and Yogi. And he is not a different type of romantic guy, but actually, he should be the norm. He should be the common romantic hero for us. We can not find a better feminist, supportive, respectful, annoying Yogi. So thank you so much for watching us,” added Parvathy.
