Radhikka Madan regrets not speaking to Irrfan on the sets of Angrezi Medium: ‘I was quiet and tried to give him space’

Radhikka Madan recently opened up about not being to spend much time with the late Irrfan Khan while shooting Angrezi Medium (2020) and said that she regrets not speaking to him as much on the sets. Radhikka played the role of Irrfan’s daughter in Homi Adajania’s comedy-drama. Irrfan died in 2020 after battling cancer.

In an interview with Times of India, Radhikka said, “I was recently showing the film to my friend as he had not seen it, and I kept on wondering if I will ever be able to do a film like that again. I was remembering Irrfan Sir. I was wondering why didn't I speak to him more, and get things out of him.”

She added, “I was very quiet on the sets and tried to give him space. I was just focusing on my character and wanted to see him as just my father. I thought I would have a lot of time with him to discuss movies, acting and craft once after the film but he was going through so much. I never spoke unless I was spoken to."

Angrezi Medium also starred Dimple Kapadia, Pankaj Tripathi, Deepak Dobriyal, Ranvir Shorey among others. It marked the last screen appearance of Irrfan before his death.

Radhikka was last seen in Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira which released in theatres on July 12. The film was directed by Sudha Kongara and also starred Paresh Rawal in a pivotal role.
