Reflecting on the tragedy, the ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ actor said, “I’ll just say, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
In a new interview with a digital magazine, Emmad Irfani spoke about his son saying, “He was an angel sent from the heavens. He came for a very specific kind of purpose.”
“He wanted to tell me that make something out of yourself because before that I was just off the track, I was snowboarding through life. After becoming a father I really realized why I exist and I think that is the power of true unconditional love that you become a better person, you work on yourself because you realise that there are people dependent on you,” he noted.
“I think I’m not the same person as I was four years ago, my perspective changed,” Irfani maintained.
For the unversed, Emmad Irfani’s son Zaviyaar passed away in May last year, as confirmed by his close friend in a heart-wrenching update.
However, months after the demise, Irafni made his comeback to the small screen, starring in the mega project ‘Jaan-e-Jahan’.
“Yes personal tragedy is a big setback, the wounds will never be filled; some wounds will always sting but you move on, that’s the only choice you have,” he said about his decision. “And work has been really therapeutic [in this regard], it has a healing power.”
