Actress Radhika Madan, who played the late actor Irrfan Khan's daughter in his final movie 'Angrezi Medium' recently revealed that she would call him “papa” or “dad” instead of “sir”. Recalling their first meeting, she said she was thankful about getting to share screen space with him. “I never addressed him as sir, I always addressed him as 'papa' or 'dad'! He would just smile. I remember when I first met him and I called him 'dad', instead of feeling weird about it, he gave me a big hug. I will always remember him as 'dad',” she said in an interview.
Radhika added that she learnt a lot from the now deceased actor. “I feel so grateful that I got the opportunity to just stand in front of him and share screen space. I learnt so many things from him as an actor and as a person. Working with him was a big tick on my wish list,” she said.
Irrfan died on April 29 following a two-year battle with neuroendocrine tumour. He is survived by his wife Sutapa Sikdar, and sons Babil and Ayaan.
