Irrfan Khan, who passed away on April 29, 2020, at the age of 53, left behind a profound legacy through his performances and wisdom. In an interview with CNN-News18, he discussed the misconception that age equates to wisdom, stating, “Age has nothing to do with wisdom. It’s just what kind of life you are leading.” He emphasized that true intelligence stems from exposure and experience, noting that sometimes younger individuals can be wiser than their elders. Khan shared his belief that life teaches us to be spontaneous rather than overly plan, saying, “Life has deliberately given me signals that ‘don’t plan.’” As for aging as an actor, he expressed a desire to emulate the creative journeys of Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen, stating, “I would love to grow old like that, where there is still exploring.” He warned against the tragedy of losing one's creative instincts, highlighting the importance of bringing new thoughts into storytelling. Khan's insights continue to resonate with audiences, reminding them of the importance of adaptability and creativity throughout life.
