The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 1 May 2020April was the cruellest month. Still Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor continue to brighten our lives.
Rishi Kapoor debuted as a child in the 1955 film Shri 420 long before Irrfan Khan was born. As part of Bollywood royalty Rishi’s career was golden from the start, while as an NSD outsider Irrfan made his way to the movies through more than a decade of TV. Despite countless other differences in their craft and biographies, this they had in common: Their performances worked magic among audiences. Because we have laughed and cried and romanced and danced and toiled with the characters they played, their passing feels like a personal loss.
