Sutapa Sikdar Says Irrfan Khan was Not ‘Husband Material’

Actor Irrfan Khan’s demise was a tremendous loss to not only the film industry, but also the entire nation. In an interview remembering the talented actor, wife Sutapa Sikdar talked about how he was not “husband material” in the traditional sense of the word but surpassed expectations.

Talking to Times of India, she said, “Irrfan was not husband material. Nah, he wasn’t (that’s a view from the definition we expect a husband to be – from the films, the novels and the merchandise companies). I tried to sometimes make him ask for normal things – like celebrating birthdays. But it didn’t work (so red roses, dark chocolates, diamonds, Valentine’s Day etc, were not discussed, leave aside being considered).”
