Looking forward to work with Naseer bhai again: Irrfan Khan

September 2, 2013

Irrfan_KhanNew Delhi, Sep 2: Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan is all set to work with ace actor Naseeruddin Shah in "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" sequel.

The 46-year-old actor, who worked with Shah in "Maqbool" and "Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota" (where Shah was the director), said he is looking forward to the opportunity.

The duo are National School of Drama (NSD) graduates.

"Naseer bhai was my senior in NSD. Working again with an actor of such a stature would be a nice experience in itself. The film will also give a chance to work on a good script. We will start shooting in a month or two," Irrfan told PTI.

The "D Day" star will be reprising the character Sudhir Mishra (played by actor Ravi Baswani) in the reboot of the hit 1983 comedy "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro", which was directed by Kundan Shah.

"It was Kundan Shah's one of the best films. I will be playing the role of late actor Ravi Baswani," he added.

Irrfan feels that the Hindi Film industry is going through a good phase and movies are getting appreciation even from the international audience.

"A good movie is such that it touches hearts by crossing the boundaries of world, color and language and forces you think about those issues which you had not paid attention to earlier," he said.

Irrfan, who won National award for "Paan Singh Tomar", said his film has motivated others to make movies on the lives of sportsmen.

"Now, we are making film on sportsperson like Mary Kom and Dhyan Chand," he said.

Washington, Apr 8: Choosing stethoscope over the crown, Miss England 2019, Bhasha Mukherjee, has returned to work as a doctor as the world battles with coronavirus pandemic.

According to CNN, she was a junior doctor with a specialisation in respiratory medicine, before being crowned as Miss England in August last year. The beauty queen, who has her roots in India's Kolkata city, had taken a career break from the medical field.

She had paused her medical career for some humanitarian work that she was offered by several charities and was on a tour to different countries including India.

"I was invited to Africa, to Turkey, then to India, Pakistan and several other Asian countries to be an ambassador for various charity work," CNN quoted her as saying.

She had been in India at the beginning of March for four weeks. During her stay as an ambassador of the Coventry Mercia Lions Club, the 24-year-old had visited several schools and had donated stationery and other items to the needy.

Mukherjee then returned back UK as the situation worsened there with the coronavirus spreading at a fast rate. She then contacted the hospital and asked them that she wanted to rejoin.

According to CNN, the Miss England beauty pageant winner said that she felt wrong to be wearing the crown while people around the world were dying from the virus.

"When you are doing all this humanitarian work abroad, you're still expected to put the crown on, get ready... look pretty. I wanted to come back home. I wanted to come and go straight to work," CNN quoted her as saying.

"I felt a sense of this is what I'd got this degree for and what better time to be part of this particular sector than now. It was incredible the way the whole world was celebrating all key workers, and I wanted to be one of those, and I knew I could help," she added.

As the beauty queen has a recent travel history, she is currently in self-isolation and will return to work once her quarantine period is over.
She was crowned as Miss England 2019 in August last year.

According to World Health Organisation, 13,53,361people have been affected by coronavirus and over 80,000 people have lost their lives to it.
