Indeed an effervescent person Irrfan Khan was! Instead of playing a character, he himself lived it. He was all the way glowing. He played any kind of role very efficiently as well as spontaneously.
Either acting a goon or a rebel, the intensity of the character beamed out of his whole body. In a sense, Irrfan was a huge container of characters. Just take one out and put on.
In "Qarib Qarib Single", he begins snoring amid talking with someone on phone. It seemed just natural, not acting. Irrfan justified the characters he played. Be it "Paan Singh Tomar" or a ferocious wounded father in "Deadline-Sirf 24 Ghante", enkindled in revenge.
Whether it be a commercial cinema or parallel, played his honestly and with exuberance. Rarest of rare indeed!
