Boman Irani pens heartfelt tribute to late actor Asrani: \u201cHis commitment to the camera will remain with me forever\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the many who paid their respects was actor Boman Irani, who took to social media to share a heartfelt note about his recent experience of working with the late actor. Reflecting on their time together, Irani revealed that they had collaborated just ten days before Asrani\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n
In his post, Irani wrote, \u201cAround ten days ago, I had the privilege of working with Asrani ji for the first time. For the shot, I was meant to be injured and on the floor. He, the doctor, had to rush in and help me. While he needed a little help in the dark walking around the crowded set, the magical word \u2018action\u2019 had another meaning for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor went on to describe how Asrani, despite his frail health, transformed into a burst of energy once the cameras started rolling. \u201cLike a live wire, he rushed into the room and instinctively landed on the floor on hands and knees, attending with urgency to the sprawled me. On \u2018cut,\u2019 he needed a little help off the floor. But his commitment to the whirring camera will remain with me forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irani concluded his note with a poignant remark about Asrani\u2019s lifelong dedication to his craft: \u201cTill the very end, there was nothing else in the world that he was meant to do. He will be in his onward place doing nothing else but responding to \u2018Action\u2019 and doing what made him and others happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Known for his memorable roles in classics such as Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar, and Amar Akbar Anthony, Asrani has left behind a rich cinematic legacy.<\/p>\n
