Catch Bollywood Actor Irrfan Khan this Week on Off Centre
MUMBAI: This week on Off Centre, Anuradha Sengupta talks to one of the finest Bollywood actors in the industry, Irrfan Khan. From being noticed and welcomed as a romantic lead after 22 years in business to his latest release and love, sex, romance in today’s time, he expresses his views and explains his take on the same.
Commenting on being chosen to play the romantic lead in movies, he says, “For me, it was always kind of my desire to do love stories, from my childhood I wanted to play Devdas. Love stories are something that have gripped your imagination. The kind of love the cinema has given to you, you don’t find that in real life. ‘That (films) definition and that perception of love you keep inside yourself, you don’t want to erase it from your senses.”
Further talking about the meaning of love, sex, romance in today’s time, Irrfan Khan says, “In today’s time, relationships have changed and people are experimenting with relationships. Unless and until you know a woman, you experiment with relationships; you’ll never be able to respect a woman. I think sexual suppression is something which creates a different kind of ideas inside a man’s head about woman.”
