'He Had A Sex Appeal', Sutapa Sikdar Shares Why Women Found Her Husband Irrfan Khan 'Sexy'
Veteran actor Irrfan Khan served the entertainment industry for over three decades before he bid this world farewell. Khan passed away due to a colon infection on 29th April 2020. He is survived by his wife Sutapa Sikdar who Irrfan married in 1995 and two sons - Babil and Ayan.
Sutapa who is a writer and producer recently attended a book launch event of Shubhra Gupta which is based on Irrfan¡¯s life.
Titled Irrfan: A Life in Movies in Delhi, the book is an interesting take on the illustrious life of Irrfan. While attending the event Sutapa was asked about her beau being the sexy man women adored. Reacting to it, she said, ¡°He was sexy because he was a delicate and fragile man, and wasn¡¯t your typical ¡®beat them up¡¯ macho man.¡±
¡°So from the National School of Drama, those who knew him personally were aware he had a sex appeal. In my class quite a few dumb girls loved him.¡±
Sutapa further added, ¡°I think women found him very charming because he respected women. He always shared a very special relationship with his co-actors. So that is very sexy actually, except for a few women who think Dharmendra is the sexiest man. Many women find it sexy, somebody who is sensible and understands you.¡±
Shubhra revealed that she spoke to many people but Irrfan¡¯s co-star Tabu was the only one who refused to comment. Shubhra revealed, ¡°She said that her heart is still broken and she will not be able to speak about it. That is a voice I missed in the book.¡±
Tabu and Irrfan starred together in some critically acclaimed films namely Maqbool, The Namesake, Life Of Pi, Ghaath, Talvaar and Haider.
Last year in an interview with Film Companion, Tabu called Irrfan ¡®one of a kind¡¯. She said, ¡°He affected me a lot and I changed a lot after working with him. It¡¯s like those people who come into your life and redefine it and make you see things differently. I learnt to be completely true to my characters and myself and bring that to my work.¡±

¡°I can¡¯t even start to say what he meant to me, but I can say what I shared with Irrfan on-screen, I don¡¯t know if I can and if I have shared that with anybody and that¡¯s for everyone to see¡±, she concluded. Irrfan was last seen in Angrezi Medium and Murder at Teesri Manzil 302 which was posthumously released.
