Malayalam film actor Parvathy Thiruvothu on Wednesday mourned the loss of the National Award-winning actor, Irrfan Khan, who succumbed to cancer.

Even though the actor had gone public about his “high-grade neuroendocrine cancer” and that he fought his way through pain, fear and uncertainty, the sudden demise of actor caught the Indian film fraternity in a shock.

Parvathy who made her Bollywood debut with Qarib Qarib single starring opposite Irrfan Khan, remembered her first day meeting him.

On Twitter she shared that the first reading of QQS happened to fall on his birthday and that the crew got him a cake.

Remembering the first time I met Irrfan, for the first reading of QQS. It was his birthday, and the team got him a cake.

She penned down a heartfelt note for her co-star on Twitter.

“For that persistent ever-curious artistic spirit that created worlds from scratch,

for always including your fellow actors in the joy of such creations,

for owning those very human errors as well as the generosity of your being

for always believing with such certainty and saying ‘it’s just the beginning!’

Remembering you, Irrfan. मेरा सलाम।"
