Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Actor Radhikka Madan took to social media on Thursday to share heartfelt memories from the sets of her film Angrezi Medium, which marked five years since its release. The film also starred the late legendary actor Irrfan Khan.
In her emotional post, Radhikka shared behind-the-scenes (BTS) images and videos from the shoot, reflecting on her role as ‘Tarika.’
“The ‘Tarika’ in me is still alive! This little girl with big dreams in her eyes, the drive to conquer the world and take on anything that life offers her! An outsider is always looking for that one opportunity and THIS was my opportunity. I can never thank @homster and @maddockfilms enough for this. #5YearsOfAngreziMedium. Always remembering you fondly @irrfan sir,” she wrote.
Radhikka has often expressed her gratitude for working with Irrfan Khan and learning from him.
Recalling a fond memory, she shared, “I remember I was playing with his beard before the shot, and he told me, ‘You know what? Maybe this is the reason Champak would not have cut his beard.’ I was like exactly! And we laughed…”
She added, “We had created our own pool of memories, our own bubble…where there were no words…silences spoke out loud…where I was trying very hard not to be this ‘I wanna learn everything from you’ fangirl, and he was unknowingly teaching me either about life or art every single day. To endless silent teachings and love…To this phenomenon people call Irrfan. Celebrating you every single day, Legend. Miss you.”
Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after battling neuroendocrine cancer since 2018.
Angrezi Medium, a heartfelt family drama, also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and Dimple Kapadia and was widely appreciated for its emotional depth and performances.
