Mumbai, Nov 10 (NationPress) The romantic comedy ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’ has celebrated its 8th anniversary since its release, and its lead actress Parvathy fondly recalls the late acting icon Irrfan Khan. This film marked Parvathy's entry into Hindi cinema.

The actress became part of a narrative that was both tender and quirky, capturing the essence of the two characters at its heart.

As the film reaches this significant milestone, Parvathy reflects on her experience with great fondness. She shared with IANS, “The greatest lesson I learned from Irrfan sir is the importance of presence. He had a remarkable ability to make you feel that every moment was significant, without putting in too much effort. Collaborating with him was truly a gift, and it's a principle I continue to embrace in my work.”

This effortless connection translated to the screen, resulting in a chemistry that remains one of the film's most beloved aspects. As Jaya and Yogi, Parvathy Thiruvothu and Irrfan crafted a bond not based on grand romance but rather on awkward charm, sincere conversations, and the gradual, unforced realization of two flawed individuals finding solace in each other's presence.

Parvathy also believes that the film is infinitely rewatchable, stating, “I think audiences revisit Qarib Qarib Singlle because it doesn’t aspire to be anything more than what it is. It’s simply a genuine, heartfelt tale of two imperfect people discovering a glimmer of hope in one another. That authenticity endures. Each time I watch it, I uncover something new, a subtle detail I overlooked previously.”

Eight years later, this film remains a significant chapter in her career, a project she instinctively chose, reinforcing her faith in authentic storytelling. With Tanuja Chandra at the helm and Gazal Dhaliwal shaping the script's emotional core, she believes they kept the film's heart in the right place.
