"With you, without you. Life goes on, With me, without me. Soon I’ll be there. With you, not without you. And we will run together, and fly, Drink from waterfalls, pink not blue. I will hug you so tight, and I will cry, Then we’ll laugh, just like we used to. I miss you," he wrote.

Celebrated filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who worked with Irrfan in "Piku" used social media to treat the netizens with a couple of rare BTS pictures from the movie.

In a heartfelt message for the late actor, the 'October' maker wrote, “Dear Irfaan, Friend, wherever you are, I know you’re doing well and have probably made many new friends there. I’m sure people have fallen in love with your charm, as we all have. Here, I’m doing fine. But there’s one thing you might not be aware of Irfaan - just how much you’re loved and missed here. You’d be surprised:) I miss our jhal muri sessions and the laughter we shared”.

Sircar also reflected on his deep discussions with Irrfan about life and spirituality, and his strong bond with Babil.

Babil's poem broke my heart 💔 The way he expresses his grief is so beautiful yet painful. Irrfan would be so proud of his son.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish articles like this would focus more on Irrfan's work legacy rather than just emotional tributes. His filmography deserves deeper analysis.

That jhal muri mention by Shoojit Sircar got me emotional! It's these small, human details that make the memories so special. Irrfan's humility was his greatest strength.

The world needs more actors like Irrfan - artists who could make you feel everything with just their eyes. His legacy continues to inspire new generations of performers.
