Irrfan Khan plays
a man looking for love on an app in his upcoming film Qarib Qarib Singlle. He
meets Jaya and together they embark on a journey which ends in love but not the
‘Saath jeene marne wali story’ (like the film’s tagline clarifies).
Irrfan Khan was
at his candid best at the event where he was joined by his co-star, Malayalam
actress Parvathy, director Tanuja Chandra and his wife Sutapa Sikdar.
When was asked
about his opinion online dating, Irrfan’s reply surprised everyone. “I believe
in it and I am looking for an app which makes it all easy. It is a practical
thing but our society wants to cover it up and that makes it weird. Why feel
guilty about a natural thing.”
He then added:
“Main apna face daalonga toh log yakin nahi karenge ki yeh joh dating ke liye
bol raha yeh Irrfan hai.”
Well, the
statement took everyone by surprise because his wife was sitting by his side
onstage and their son was in the audience.
So, was he saying
it in jest?
While you mull
over that, check out the trailer of Irrfan Khan’s Qarib Qarib Singlle.
In the trailer
Irrfan Khan and Parvathy’s comic timing and chemistry is perfect. The film is
shot in various cities on the banks of the river Ganga. The two characters
start their journey as single and a crazy journey follows.
