Jaideep Ahlawat recalled, “It was a wonderful day. I got a message from their end, ‘Irrfan ne kuch ped lagaye the, unpe phal aa gaye. If you are free then come home.’ I always remembered that line, and had written it in the caption too when I had posted that picture. Aapke lagaye hue pedon pe phal aa gaye hai, and it’s symbolic in the sense he did inspire many like me, and hopefully we will keep growing and contributing. So I did go to their house and spent a lot of time there. We spoke for about three to four hours on many topics.” The Paatal Lok actor had first met Irrfan Khan at Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), when the former was a student there.
