In the photo, Ghai and Khan can be seen smiling. Ghai, who worked with Irrfan in the 2010 film Right Yaa Wrong, took to Instagram to share a post praising him not just as an actor but as someone who deeply understood the art of storytelling.

He wrote, "I have always been more in admiration of good and great actors than just cosmetic stars of any time. Good actors enhance storytelling--stars play stars to glitter the film. I was more happy to receive compliments from Irrfan than an award at an award function. So, I remember this picture vividly. We miss you, Irrfan."

Khan is considered one of the best actors in the Indian film industry. He made his debut with the Oscar-nominated Hindi film Salaam Bombay! and went on to star in critically acclaimed films such as Life in a... Metro, The Lunchbox and Hindi Medium.

He performed exceptionally well in several international projects, which garnered him significant recognition abroad and put him on the map of world cinema.

Khan died at a Mumbai hospital on April 29, 2020. He was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour.
