Deepika Padukone, who shared screen space with Irrfan in 2015 film Piku, has shared an emotional post for the actor today. Irrfan passed away of neuroendocrine tumour on April 29. Today, Piku has completed 5 years.
The actress posted the lyrics of a song from the film along with a behind-the-scenes picture with Irrfan. The picture shows Irrfan, Deepika and director Shoojit Sircar having a laugh over a cup of beverage. She shared it with the lyrics of the song Lamhe Guzar Gaye. It read, “Lamhe guzar gaye, chehre badal gaye (the moments have passed away, the faces have been replaced).” She ended the note saying, “Rest in Peace my Dear Friend... #piku #rana #bhaskor.”
Deepika had earlier shared a black post on Instagram after learning of the news of Irrfan’s death. Director Shoojit was among the first ones to share the news that left the nation in shock and grief. Piku also starred Amitabh Bachchan who was equally heartbroken after learning about the acclaimed actor's demise.
