Rendezvous with Irrfan Khan
Pallavi: What is it that has motivated you to take me out to visit our conference?
Irrfan Khan: I love interacting with kids. Any opportunity I get to talk with them, I do so.
They are very important for me as they will determine the future.
Pallavi: How important do you think it is, to create awareness about the environment?
Irrfan Khan: We don't have a choice. We have to care. You see, we don't live in a bubble.
Everything is interconnected. We are all part of the bigger picture. So each of our
acons affect the bigger picture. So, I try to be aware in all my choices in my life.
Pallavi: Can you share about what encourages you in your life?
Irrfan Khan: Well, its my passion for drama. I hated school. I felt it was an imposion.
But when in college I began to study what I loved, I began doing very well. I am happy
with what I do and I feel it is everyone's natural insnct to express themselves. I was
very shy when I was young but as I started doing drama, I was happy and began finding
it easier to speak. I never imagined would be speaking to students in a school!
Chandreyee: As we oen see students batling shyness, do you share your experience
of overcoming it?
Irrfan Khan: Well we can't tell someone to overcome it. It has to come from within. It
happens when you are given an opportunity to express something you love. Kids these
days have many opons so they find things they love easily. They are much more
knowledgeable and confident.
Pallavi: What do you think is there in the movie industry that has contributed
to environment awareness?
Irrfan Khan: Well I don't think it is about any industry. It is about each one of us.
