Irrfan Khan - Aseem Chhabra (2020)

 The book is as serious as the actor is. Talking about the worklife of the actor. There is no gossip, no non-sense about the actor and his art. No unnecessary media hype or family or personal noise. The storyline is fairly simple, moves from one movie to next and describes Irrfan and his work. Some movies have a small story told and every time you read a story you feel like watching the actor closely so that you didn't miss his finese a bit. Off late I have ended up reading about quite a few actors, but I would believe Irrfan Khan would be very few who had been absolutely true to his art and had a non-controversial life. The acknowledgement section will make you realize how much people love him to have come forward to speak for him. 

Overall a book recommended.
