Irfan was the first to gain such respect and popularity in the national and international arena by escaping from the mainstream of Bollywood. So not only Indian films, he has caught the attention of the world by working in multiple Hollywood films.
Last year, actor Irrfan Khan left the film world mourning. The late actor Irrfan Khan was remembered in the ‘In Memory’ section of the Oscars on Monday. Not only Irrfan Khan, Vanu Athaiya, India’s first Oscar winner, was also on the list.

Incidentally, Vanu won the Academy Awards in 1973 for her costume design for the film ‘Gandhi’ directed by Richard Attenborough. Born in Kolapur, India in 1929, Vanu Athaiyar started her career as a costume designer in the Bollywood industry in 1958 with Guru Dutt’s famous film ‘CID’.
On the other hand, Irrfan Khan was the name of a sigh of relief in the Bollywood world and the subcontinent last year. He has been seen in films like ‘Jurassic World’, ‘Life of Pi’, ‘Amazing Spider-Man’, ‘Inferno’, ‘A Mighty Heart’.
