Revisiting Irrfan's AIB parody party song that shows how the legendary actor was never afraid to question Bollywood's cliched norms

Acclaimed Bollywood and Hollywood actor Irrfan breathed his last at Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Wednesday early morning. He was 54-years-old. The critically acclaimed actor was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday due to a colon infection. The actor is survived by his wife, Sutapa Sikder, and sons Babil and Ayan. 

Ever since the versatile actor's demise, fans are digging out the actor's old interviews and videos in his memory. And today a throwback video of AIB has gone viral in which the late actor is seen teaching the AIB boys the art of Bollywood party songs. The video is hilarious as it has Irrfan talking about cliched party songs of Bollywood and remaking one such hit song with his 'swag'. The video is proof of how the actor never hesitated to poke fun at the reality of Bollywood's cliched norms, even at the peak of his career.

Watch the video here: 

Watch Irrfan pull off some of the funniest memes on the internet in his dank avatar and meme in this AIB video. 

Tanmay Bhat also paid a tribute to Irrfan and remembered good old times with him. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There’s nothing we can say about Irrfan the actor that won’t be said more eloquently by those who understand the craft better than us. So we’d like to take a moment to remember Irrfan the person, as we knew him. When Maqbool himself agrees to a work meeting that you never dreamed would happen, intimidation is understandable. More so when you’re a group of twenty-somethings with none of the credibility or swag his usual collaborators have. But from minute one, Irrfan was courteous, receptive, warm, and involved. He took to our Party Song with a gusto that made us wonder if we’d even written something that deserved the sort of dignity he was giving it. But. That’s just the sort of guy Irrfan was. He walked off the set of Jurassic World, where they were probably serving him flavoured cappuccinos on velvet cushions, onto the shoestring budget Party Song shoot. It was the middle of May and the temperature and humidity were soaring. The air conditioner wasn’t working in the club we shot in. We had no special vanity van to give him when we shot the pool scenes. We tensed for a star tantrum. But Irrfan just grinned, stretched out on the floor in the corner of the room, and took a nap. That’s just the sort of guy Irrfan was. When ill health forced him to drop out of a project we were supposed to do together, we understood his situation immediately, and yet, he was the one who had tears in his eyes because he thought he was letting down some kids who were starting out. Because that’s just the sort of guy Irrfan was. He was being treated in London in July 2018, and we happened to be there. Not only did he insist on coming to the show, but also on taking us all to dinner after, where he regaled us with stories in his trademark drawl while also making sure everyone ate until they couldn’t move. Because that’s just the sort of guy Irrfan was. “Yaar cricket khelte hai!” he chirped, and even had a friend in London book us some nets. Sadly, on the day, his health took a turn for the worse and he had to drop out. He still called and said “I’m not cancelling the booking, tum log toh jaa kar khelo yaar!” Because that’s just the sort of guy Irrfan was.
