Starring Irrfan Khan and Pakistani actress Saba Qamar in principal roles, Hindi Medium was one of the most successful films of 2017. The Saket Chaudhary directorial marked Qamar’s debut in Bollywood.

The actress, who is currently busy promoting her upcoming ZEE5 show Mrs. & Mr. Shameem, remembers her late co-star, saying, “He was such a fine actor, a gem of a person. I had a gala time working with him. I have learnt a lot from him.”

She goes on to add, “I remember a day before we were going to start shooting for the film in Delhi. We did a few lines with the cast and the crew but did not really rehearse-rehearse. That was something new for me, and was a different kind of experience. I am a very well-prepared actor. In the morning, I would know what I have to do today, and would call for the scenes of the day from the AD (Assistant Director). So that is the thing that I have learnt from Irrfan sir that you don’t need to rehearse much.”

When asked if she is in touch with Irrfan Khan’s family, the actress says, “No. I have that regret.”

She adds, “After the film when his health deteriorated, I kept thinking that I will call him but I was busy with shooting and travelling so I couldn’t. Then one day I heard about him and I was devastated and shattered. That day I realised that one should avail the time they have, because that time never comes back. If you want to apologise to someone, or express your love then just do it, as that moment won’t come back. So, I have that regret that I wish I had called him, spoken to him, and would have been in contact.”
