Making his debut in the Academy Award nominated movie ‘Salaam Bombay’ in 1998, Irrfan Khan proved that he was an incredible talent every time he came on the silver screen. He will always be remembered for every character he has played in Hindi movies, like ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, ‘The Lunchbox’, ‘Haider’, ‘Piku’, ‘Talvar’ and ‘Hindi Medium’, to name a few.
