In an exclusive interview with us, Sutapa Sikdar said, “I used to do so much for him even then he used to remove faults. I used to wonder why I am doing so much still he is removing faults. But that he is, that’s his personality, even with scripts you know I wrote something sometime and he directed a few episodes of Banegi Apni Baat. I have done like 301 to 257 of that show or something you know. No director ever told me to rewrite the script except Irrfan. When he  directed it he made me write five drafts of the same thing.”

She further revealed, “The taskmaster that he was that’s how he is. He was a perfectionist. I was so used to it that now when I write something all say very well written. That’s when I miss him so much, as he was my best critic. If I wrote something he would say this is too cliched or why did you take the easiest route? “

Irrfan Khan and Sutapa tied the knot in 1995 and have two sons: Babil and Ayan.
