Remembering the late actor and his cinematic legacy she added, “IFFI couldn’t have chosen a better film. It talks about a race, an athlete. To quote Irrfan’s dialogue from the film, ‘you have to finish the race. Whether you lose or win. You have to touch the finish line.’ “Irrfan’s finish line came too soon. But he played well. We are proud of you Irrfan,” and was hugged by her son Babil standing beside her as she concluded.
