Irrfan makes it to Instagram
Actor Irrfan Khan has made his debut on Instagram and shared throwback images from his younger days in which he recreates some iconic poses from Bollywood.
The 50-year-old actor posted two black-and-white pictures on his recently created photo sharing account.
The first picture shows Irrfan and a friend mimicking the classic Sholay pose where veteran actor Dharmendra sits on a whistling Amitabh Bachchan’s shoulders and plays the harmonica.
The Hindi Medium actor captioned the image as, “This is our poster inspired by the #Sholay poster. #FilmyInfluence.” In the second photograph, Irrfan can be seen riding a horse, dressed up like India’s first superstar, Rajesh Khanna.
“Somebody told me that to be an actor you must know horse riding... So whenever I went to ride (or learn to ride - which I didn’t at that time), I made it a point that when I sat on the horse... My look would be inspired by Rajesh Khannaji... Hero toh banna hi tha! (Had to become a hero some day) #FilmyInfluence,” wrote Irrfan. —PTI
